GM Adam Pearce will provide an update on Seth Rollins.
Tonight’s episode of WWE Raw is set to air live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. The show will revert to its original slot of 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT. Multiple top names, including Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Penta, and Becky Lynch, are being advertised for the show.
The show will focus on the fallout from The Vision’s betrayal of Seth Rollins in the final moments of last week’s episode. The promotion has announced multiple matches and segments for the show, including three title matches.
Ahead of tonight’s show in Sacramento, California, let us take a look at the top four potential endings for the show, which will set the stage for the upcoming SNME.
4. Austin Theory returns

Austin Theory has been absent from WWE programming since July. Before Seth Rollins’ injury, reports indicated that Theory was set to be involved in a Rollins vs. Punk clash at Saturday Night’s Main Event, which would then lead to his participation in a WarGames match alongside The Vision.
However, despite Rollins’ injury, WWE could move forward with the storyline. Theory could make his return, likely during a brawl, to provide the Vision with the numbers game that they have enjoyed.
3. Penta costs Rusev
After his successful title defense against Penta last week, Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio is set to defend the title against Rusev. Mysterio already defeated Rusev last month, but Dirty Dom cheated to retain the title.
Notably, Rusev’s appearance last week led to Penta’s loss as it gave Msyterio the time to sneak in the timekeeper’s hammer and hit Penta with it to retain the title. Penta might decide to return the favor and attack Rusev during the match to cost him the title.
2. New Champions crowned

WWE World Tag Team Champions The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & JD McDonagh) are set to defend the titles against the team of AJ Styles and Dragon Lee. The match was set up when Mysterio complained to GM Adam Pearce about his match with Rusev.
Fans have been clamoring for the Creative team to bring back the titles, which have been sidelined despite the champions still being active in storylines. Additionally, Styles has also stated his intentions to retire in 2026, and what better way to kick-start the final run than with a tag title win.
1. Bron Breakker vs CM Punk
In the main event of last week, CM Punk defeated Jey Uso and LA Knight in a triple-threat number contender’s match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Per earlier reports, Rollins and Punk were set to battle once again for the title at SNME.
However, since the betrayal and Seth Rollins being off TV, Bron Breakker announced his intentions by snatching the title from Rollins after the attack. WWE could decide to book Breakker and Punk for the vacant title and the two engage in a brawl to end the show, creating more hype for the showdown on November 1.
