WWE RAW RESULTS – OCTOBER 20, 2025
“WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” kicks things off as always. We then shoot inside the Golden 1 Center as Joe Tessitore welcomes us to the show. We shoot directly into an extended video package looking back at the Seth Rollins situation from start-to-finish last week.
WWE Title & Seth Rollins Update From Adam Pearce & The Re-Vision
We then see WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce in the ring. Pearce says he’s glad they’re out here because he wants them to hear this directly from him. Pearce says that Breakker and Reed badly injured Seth Rollins and now he’s had to get surgery and Rollins is on the shelf.
Pearce announces that Rollins has been stripped of his World Heavyweight Championship and they will crown a new champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Pearce announces there will be an over-the-top Battle Royal to determine who will face CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He then tells us the Battle Royal will be tonight.
Pearce then asks Breakker to hand over the World Heavyweight Championship. Breakker asks Pearce what happens if he doesn’t hand it over. Heyman tries to calm down Breakker and Breakker asks Pearce to show him some respect and ask nicely. Pearce asks again, respectfully. Breakker tells Pearce to say please.
Pearce asks again, respectfully, and includes please. Breakker hands the championship to Heyman and Heyman gives the belt to Pearce. Pearce leaves the ring and Heyman gets on the mic and asks why everyone is so mad at him, Breakker and Reed. Heyman says it’s easy to boo them and think they’re the bad guys.
But he fails to understand what they did to deserve the hate. He says The Vision has nothing to do with Seth Rollins and everything they’ve done with Rollins wasn’t because Rollins, but it was for Breakker and Reed. This had nothing to do with Rollins and they were using Rollins so everyone could see it was The Vision over anything.
Heyman says Rollins isn’t a workhorse or a visionary but a bum shoulder bitch because he got injured. Heyman says winners write history and that’s what Reed and Breakker will do. Heyman talks about how Breakker and Reed are the future and how the new future of the company now changes.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender Battle Royal
It’s main event time!
The Usos duo of ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso are seen among a sea of fans before Jey’s music hits. He makes his “YEET-tastic” ring entrance with his brother, stopping to hold a baby and do some “YEET’ing” with the fans before walking through the crowd to the ring.
Sheamus comes out next. We head to a break as the entrances continue and the ring fills up as we get ready for our battle royal to determine CM Punk’s opponent in the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at the upcoming WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Utah.
When the show returns, we hear AJ Styles’ theme wrapping up as he settles in the ring, which is now quite filled up with Superstars. El Grande Americano makes his way out next. Penta and then LA Knight make their respective ring entrances. CM Punk comes out as well, presumably to watch this one closely.
Everyone is out there and in the ring now that is competing in this one. With that said, the battle royal to determine the next number one contender is now underway, as the bell sounds to get us started. Punk joins Tessitore and Barrett on special guest commentary for this one.
As soon as the bell sounds, things kick off with a bang. We see all of the guys go at it at immediately. Ivar and Otis push everyone away and start fighting. Otis slams down almost everyone and goes face to face with Rusev in the middle of the ring as everyone else battles.
Otis is eliminated by Rusev. Rusev eliminates Tozawa. Lee is eliminated by McDonagh and Balor. Mysterio eliminates Rusev and Penta and we cut to a commercial break. We return to hear that during the break, Waller was eliminated by The Usos. Live action now sees Ivar squashing everyone and comes face to face with Sheamus.
Sheamus and Ivar go at it and Sheamus eliminates Ivar. Americano puts a steel plate in his mask but is dropped by The Usos and is eliminated. Balor and McDonagh save Mysterio from being eliminated by Sheamus. Sheamus eliminates McDonagh.
He then hits 10 beats on Balor and eliminates Balor. Sheamus is eliminated by Balor, McDonagh and Kingston. Sheamus beats up Balor and McDonagh outside the ring. Styles eliminates Mysterio but the ref misses it because he’s caught up with Sheamus, Balor and McDonagh.
On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into what will likely be the final commercial break of the evening. This time when we return, we see that we are down to the final six competitors in the match. They are Dominik Mysterio, AJ Styles, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, LA Knight and Kofi Kingston.
Styles ends up eliminating Kingston. Jimmy eliminates Styles. Jey, who was nearly eliminated twice during the chaos, but saved both times by his brother Jimmy, goes on to shockingly eliminate Jimmy moments later. The commentators freak out at that. The crowd reacts big, too. He also tosses out Knight and Dom to win.
With the win, Uso celebrates in the ring as the commentators hype up he being the one who will challenge CM Punk for the now vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the next WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show, which takes place on 11/1. Uso and Punk go face-to-face as the show ends. Thanks for joining us!
Winner and NEW No. 1 Contender To WWE World Heavyweight Championship: ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso
