WWE Raw Results - October 13, 2025: Crown Jewel Aftermath—Nuclear Chaos

Raw landed in the same city that hosted Crown Jewel looking to answer one question: what now? The red brand opened with Seth Rollins and The Vision — Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and “Big” Bronson Reed — laying claim to a new era, only to close with an all-out beatdown that rewrote the pecking order. Tonight’s show mixed sharp promos, backstage heat, and decisive in-ring moments that moved every major storyline forward.

Thoughts: This was probably the best Raw episode of the year besides the Raw on Netflix Debut. Excellent story telling and tons of momentum is now moving throughout the entire Raw Roster.

Below: full results with match detail, backstage beats, in-ring quotes, and what it all means. 

Segment — The Vision Opens Raw

Seth Rollins led his new faction to the ring and delivered a classic, self-aggrandizing vision piece: he praised Paul Heyman, lauded Bron Breakker as “the undisputed future,” and proclaimed Bronson Reed the man who “destroyed Roman Reigns.” Rollins’ shtick — equal parts arrogance and reverence for his own greatness — drew huge “Bullshit!” chants, which he dutifully snubbed as proof the crowd “isn’t smart.” Heyman serenaded him with a mic handoff, Rollins planted a kiss on Paul E.’s forehead for comic effect, and the segment established the Vision as less a support group than a takeover machine.

Dominik Mysterio (c) def. Penta — WWE Intercontinental Championship (retains)

Result: Dominik Mysterio pinned Penta after using the Intercontinental Title’s hammer and a 619 → Frog Splash.

The match: Fast and physical from bell to bell. Penta matched Dom blow for blow — including a massive plancha to the floor — and nearly put the champ away with a Penta Driver that Dom kicked out of. Chaos finished the match: Rusev distracted at ringside, Dominik used the championship bell-hammer on Penta’s knee, hit a loaded 619 and finished with the frog splash. Afterward, Dominik clutched both his WWE gold and the AAA hardware, smug as ever.

Backstage note: Rusev warned Penta earlier that he expects the winner of this match to answer to him next week — expect follow-ups with real heat.

Rhea Ripley def. Kairi Sane

Result: Rhea Ripley pinned Kairi Sane with RipTide.

The match: Hard strikes and classic joshi exchanges. Asuka attempted to cost Ripley the match with constant interference — even getting shoved onto the apron by Ripley — but Kairi’s veteran craft kept the match razor-tight. IYO SKY tried to even the odds, which led to a chaotic spot on the announce desk: Asuka spiked Ripley with a DDT. Rhea persevered, answered with a Razor’s Edge and finished Kairi with RipTide after neutralizing Asuka’s interference.

In-ring promo: Ripley accepted the cheers and warned the locker room: she’s not done at Crown Jewel — she’s just getting started.

Bronson Reed def. “Big” Jim Uso

Result: Bronson Reed pinned Big Jim Uso with the Tsunami.

The match: A brutal, hard-hitting battle centered on Uso’s injured ribs. Reed dominated with power-based offense and a World’s Strongest Slam, but Jim fought through and landed a Whisper in the Wind. Reed finished it after a top-rope Tsunami following sustained offense. Post-match, Bron Breakker appeared to help Reed clear the ring — then the Usos’ tension blew up: Jey saved Jim from extra punishment but the brothers argued in the aisle. The family fracture remains simmering.

Backstage: Jey told Jim he’s “not making the same mistake” — that storyline will bleed into the tag title picture.

Bayley & Lyra Valkyria def. Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez)

Result: Bayley pinned Roxanne Perez with the Roseplant.

The match: Bayley and Lyra’s chemistry paid off as Bayley’s veteran savvy combined with Lyra’s athleticism. Judgment Day targeted Lyra early, but Bayley turned the tide with opportunistic offense and a timely Roseplant to seal the win. Post-match, Bayley cut a confident promo backstage about being “role models” — but Judgment Day is already circling for retribution.

CM Punk def. “Main Event” Jey Uso & LA Knight — #1 Contender Triple Threat

Result: CM Punk pinned Jey Uso after Go to Sleep; CM Punk is the #1 contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The match: A volatile three-way that featured high spots and hard strikes. LA Knight’s power sequences and Jey’s urgency dominated early windows, but Punk’s veteran opportunism paid off late: after Punk absorbed a diving splash and fought through multiple near-falls, he landed Go to Sleep on Jey for the decisive pin. Punk’s victory sets up a huge title match — and a confrontation that didn’t wait.

Post-match: The Vision swarmed the ring. Breakker speared Punk, Reed splashed him and then — shockingly — speared Seth Rollins and then splashed Rollins as well. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed raised their hands over Rollins’ prone body; Reed ripped the tape from Jimmy’s ribs and, in a chilling beat, the two Brons seemed to pledge allegiance to one another. Heyman looked stunned as Rollins lay bloodied. The Vision’s hierarchy just became a lot more complicated.

Notes & Backstage Beats

• Penta/Rusev: Rusev told Penta he wants a shot if Penta emerges unscathed at the next defence — expect a heated rematch or contract stipulation.
• Usos: The seeds of an Usos split were planted on Raw: Jimmy insists he can do it alone; Jey prefers a more survivalist approach. This will be a smoking subplot into Survivor Series.
• Asuka & IYO SKY: Asuka’s attack on IYO and the Kabuki Warriors’ desk spike finish of Ripley set up renewed animosity with the Raw women’s division. Expect a singles tilt or triple threat to settle the score.
• Rollins’ future: The Vision’s post-match celebration is anything but triumphant for Seth — he’s been publicly humbled and physically dominated in the same segment meant to cement him as the top of the mountain.

Wrestling.news | Backstage Take

Tonight felt like two shows in one: in-ring, Raw delivered multiple quality matches and smart booking; in storyline, it detonated an atomic bomb under Seth Rollins’ “visionary” gospel. Rollins’ opening brag was textbook heel work, but the finish — where his handpicked empire turned violent and then turned on him theatrically — was the story of the night. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed standing over Rollins is a power shift that could fuel multiple main-event narratives: is this a hostile takeover executed by Rollins, or the beginnings of a new duo that bends the Vision to its will? Either way, WWE just gave us an ugly, delicious mystery to chew on heading to Survivor Series.

Expect Punk vs. Rollins (or Punk cashing in) talk to dominate the next two weeks, and watch the Usos — their dynamic is suddenly must-see television.
