This article contains results and spoilers from WWE Monday Night Raw for October 27th, 2025. You have been warned!
A new WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned this Saturday at Saturday Night's Main Event, with CM Punk and Jey Uso competing for the top spot on Monday Night Raw after Seth Rollins' unexpected injury sidelined him indefinitely and forced him to relinquish his championship. The two former champions will now face off to lead the Red Brand through Survivor Series and beyond, in spite of heavy opposition from LA Knight, The Vision, and Jimmy Uso.
The fight for the Intercontinental Championship continues in another bruising battle for the number one contender position between Penta and Rusev. Other matches on the card include Nikki Bella against Roxanne Perez in singles action, and Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defend their Women's Tag Team Championships against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
CM Punk and Jey Uso competing for the World Heavyweight Championship is a match that seemed unimaginable less than two years ago, but the two are not only former champions, they now face a crossroads in their stories. Punk, having had the Big Gold 2.0 for less time than it takes to cook a pancake, faces Uso, a man who unceremoniously lost his championship to Gunther after a career-altering win at WrestleMania 41.
Punk and Uso face their own must-win situation at Saturday Night's Main Event, both men needing the win in order to both validate themselves in their careers, and prove to the voices in their ears that they have what it takes. It initially seemed set that Punk would win the championship, but after a fiery segment, it now appears to be anyone's game to take the win.
It's been LA Knight's time, and his time continues to be long overdue for a major championship win with WWE. A level of organically over not seen since Diamond Dallas Page in WCW in the 1990s, Knight has been anointed by the WWE Universe as "their guy", and they all want to see him with gold around his waist.
The unrealized pivot in the quest for the Big Gold 2.0 caused by Seth Rollins' injury created a unique opportunity to get the title on Knight, an actuality that may not have happened without it. Knight's proved himself capable of being both a main eventer and the ability to carry the company, and we're ready to see him capture it, hopefully by Survivor Series.
