WWE 'Raw' takeaways: The Vison is blurred

The Vision has been blinded. After weeks of uncertainty and questions astir what would hap if Seth Rollins were to suffer astatine Crown Jewel, Rollins did what helium had to bash to bushed Cody Rhodes connected Saturday. It instantly outgo him. Bron Breakker proverbially poked Seth Rollins successful the oculus with a shocking code to extremity "Raw," sending The Vision trio into the rear-view mirror. This was peculiarly astonishing due to the fact that Rollins began "Raw" by heaping effusive praise onto Breakker, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman individually. The large astonishment breakup finished disconnected a amusement afloat of near turns, from Dominik Mysterio again utilizing deception to support his Intercontinental rubric to Asuka and Kairi Sane's tumultuous narration to Lyra Valkyria finally, maybe, figuring Bayley out? Here are the biggest takeaways for the WWE's past time successful Perth, Australia.

Oct. 13 "Raw" results

• Intercontinental champion Dominik Mysterio defeats Penta by pinfall • Rhea Ripley defeats Kairi Sane by pinfall • Bronson Reed defeats Jimmy Uso by pinfall • Bayley and Lyra Valkyria decision Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez by pinfall • CM Punk defeats LA Knight and Jey Uso

A Vision breakup already?

Rollins opened the amusement with a beardown promo that celebrated Breakker, Reed and Heyman, but the information that Heyman had issued an ultimatum earlier Crown Jewel to driblet Rollins, should helium suffer to Rhodes, was glaringly absent from Rollins' address. In fact, Rollins doubled down, saying aboriginal successful the show, "This is the mountaintop. ... Rarified air." He present needs an oxygen disguise astatine the summit, due to the fact that Breakker and Reed person enactment a people connected his back. The Vision illness surely came arsenic a large astonishment -- firstly due to the fact that it came instantly aft CM Punk won a triple-threat lucifer implicit Jey Uso and LA Knight to presumption himself arsenic the No.1 contender to Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship. Secondly, Heyman raised Reed and Breakker's arms pursuing their onslaught connected Rollins, seemingly leaving Rollins unsocial and broken. With adversaries present successful each country and cipher successful his, the h2o is muddy with peril for the Visionary and his hopes to stay World Heavyweight champion. I question the timing of this attack. Breakker is simply a aboriginal satellite champion and Reed has picked up unthinkable victories implicit Roman Reigns, but this feud feels abrupt and excessively soon. Perhaps an other furniture of intrigue was needed successful the Punk vs. Rollins saga? Maybe the Brons volition outgo Rollins his satellite rubric and past conflict each other?

More "Raw" takeaways

• Dominik Mysterio continues to find dastardly but clever ways to clasp his Intercontinental Championship. Against Penta, helium distracted the timekeeper to bargain the doorbell hammer, past placed his Intercontinental rubric successful the mediate of the ring. While the referee was engaged clearing the loop from the ring, Mysterio deed Penta successful the genu with the hammer past stuffed it successful his footwear to present a 619 and deed the frog splash to clasp his title. These clever "by the tegument of his teeth" victories proceed to play good connected surface and entertain WWE crowds, who number 1-2-3 on with the refs and cheer Dom's antics.

• The Kabuki Warriors person implosion written each implicit them, but for now, they are hanging connected by a thread. Asuka yelled astatine and slapped Kairi Sane earlier Sane's lucifer with Rhea Ripley, which Sane lost. But Asuka got a measurement of revenge by delivering a DDT to Ripley connected the announcers' table, and the country ended with Asuka arm-in-arm with Sane implicit Ripley. Do these 2 teams (Ripley and Iyo Sky and The Kabuki Warriors) find 3 much partners and conflict astatine Survivor Series: WarGames connected Nov. 29?

• In the past 48 hours, Reed and Ripley person gone 4-0 successful beforehand of location crowds. What benignant of alternate WWE beingness are we surviving in?

• Remember the Festus quality successful the 2000s? He was benignant and mild-mannered, but arsenic soon arsenic a doorbell rang and helium heard it, helium became a monster. It feels similar Bayley has a mentation of that going on. Lyra Valkyria got the blessed mentation of Bayley arsenic they entered their lucifer with Judgement Day, but Valkyria needed the vicious Bayley, truthful she slapped her to unlock her meanness, starring to the win. As WWE commentator Michael Cole noted, "Has Lyra figured Bayley out?"
