The go-home edition of Raw before Crown Jewel has fans buzzing with anticipation.
The October 6 episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The October 6 episode will serve as the go-home show for the Crown Jewel PLE. Additionally, the Red brand will revert to its original 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT for this week’s show.
Multiple big names, including Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, and Becky Lynch, are being advertised for the show.
The promotion has announced two singles matches along with appearances from Roman Reigns and CM Punk. Ahead of this week’s show in Dallas, Texas, let us take a look at the top four storylines that will be in play on this week’s WWE Raw.
4. Bayley – Lyra Valkyria

Last week, Lyra Valkyria had initially rejected the offer to corner Bayley after their previous fallout. However, she rushed to Bayley’s aid when Perez attacked her after Bayley’s loss to Raquel Rodriguez.
Valkyria will now battle Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez, and it will be interesting to see what role Bayley will play during the match and if she will counter any interference from Raquel Rodriguez. Bayley has also been battling with her ‘hugger’ and ‘role model’ personas.
3. Riyo fights back
The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), despite turning on Asuka and attacking her, wanted Iyo Sky to apologize. Asuka and Sane then attacked both Rhea Ripley and Sky during the opening moments of last week’s show.
Later in the show, Sane once again told Sky to apologize to Asuka. What transpired then was Sky having a discussion with GM Adam Pearce about a tag team match at Crown Jewel. Iyo and Ripley will likely retaliate tonight to push back against the Kabuki Warriors’ bullying tactics.
2. Roman Reigns to kick off Raw

During the final moments of the September 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, Reigns made his return to aid The Usos (Jey & Jimmy Uso) in their tornado tag team clash against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Following his return last week, ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns is set to kick off the Crown Jewel go-home show of Raw this week. In his appearance this week, Reigns could call out Bron Breakker for a one-on-one showdown at the upcoming PLE. Alternatively, he might challenge Breakker and Reed to face him and Jey Uso in a high-stakes tag team match.
1. Crown Jewel build-up

The seventh edition of the PLE will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia. As mentioned, this episode will serve as the go-home show for the PLE.
Stars set to clash at the PLE will meet for the final time as fans hope to see more exciting matches added to the card on the go-home show.
