WWE Raw will have a special start time!
The upcoming October 13 episode of WWE Raw will serve as the fallout show for the Crown Jewel PLE. The show will have a special start time of 8 AM ET/ 5 AM PT. The fallout show of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
Multiple top names, including Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Penta, and LA Knight, are being advertised for the fallout show. The promotion has announced a tag team match where Bayley and Lyra Valkyria will take on The Judgment Day (Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez).
Additionally, Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio is set to defend the title against Penta. As WWE gears up for the fallout show, let us take a look at the top five surprises that might be in store for fans in Perth.
5. John Cena’s final match
John Cena’s final match is set to take place in Washington, D.C., on December 13. Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., will host Saturday Night’s Main Event in December, marking the venue for the historic final match of Cena‘s legendary career.
According to reports, his final opponent will be decided via a tournament. WWE CCO Triple H might make an appearance tonight, announcing the tournament on the fallout show.
4. Austin Theory returns
Austin Theory has been absent from WWE programming since July, with details about his injury and absence remaining scarce. Fans only learned about the injury when Theory’s tag partner, Grayson Waller, revealed it during a backstage segment with The New Day.
Nevertheless, reports are suggesting that Austin Theory may be involved in the upcoming WarGames matches in November. The current lineup reportedly includes Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Brock Lesnar, and Theory. Theory might make his return tonight to join Rollins’ faction, The Vision.
3. Seth Rollins’ next challenger
Seth Rollins, despite the pressure, managed to pin Cody Rhodes and capture the 2025 Crown Jewel title. He not only registered his first win over Cody, but also silenced the doubters, establishing himself as the true Visionary to lead the Vision.
There are reports of Rollins defending the World Heavyweight title against CM Punk in the main event of the upcoming SNME. Fans might see the two bitter rivals reignite their feud in the coming weeks. However, last week’s segment between LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Punk, with the three claiming they deserve a title shot, WWE might announce a number one contender’s match to decide who will face Rollins.
2. Bianca Belair confronts Stephanie Vaquer
‘The EST of WWE’ Bianca Belair has been significantly absent from WWE programming since WrestleMania 41. Except for a few sporadic appearances, Belair has mostly been absent from WWE programming and has yet to make her in-ring return.
On the other hand, Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, after winning the women’s Crown Jewel title, is set for an appearance tonight. While there is no shortage of contenders on the Red brand, Belair could still make her return to challenge Vaquer. A title win in the future would also be helpful in reigniting the feud with Naomi when she returns.
1. Jey Uso joining the dark side?
WWE has been dropping significant teases of Jey Uso‘s heel turn, with his changed demeanour, the former World Heavyweight Champion is gunning for a rematch. Jey has been less hesitant since following Roman Reigns‘ advice in achieving his goals.
With reports of Punk getting the rematch for the title, Jey might continue to showcase traits of a heel, leading to more drama ahead of Survivor Series, where he is reportedly scheduled to partake in the WarGames match.
