A Recap Of What Happened On The October 20 episode

So what made people want to tune in? Probably to see what was going to happen with Seth Rollins and The Vision. The Raw before ended with Rollins getting attacked by his Vision stablemates, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. So this episode revolved around what was going to happen with the WWE World Heavyweight Title, seeing that the betrayal was set up for a legit injured Rollins. Rollins had to relinquish his title, and a Battle Royal match was set up.

The winner of the Battle Royal match was Jey Uso, who is going to face CM Punk on November 1, at Saturday Night’s Main Event for the vacant title. The battle royal also included AJ Styles, Akira Tozawa, Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, El Grande Americano, Finn Balor, Grayson Waller, Ivar, JD McDonagh, Jimmy Uso, Kofi Kingston, LA Knight, Otis, Penta and Rusev, and Sheamus.

What else happened? There were three title matches. Before being in the Battle Royal, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee defeated Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the WWE World Tag Team Titles. While Balor and McDonagh lost, their stablemate Dominik Mysterio retained his Intercontinental Championship against Rusev.

Speaking of the Intercontinental Championship, Becky Lynch defended the Women’s Intercontinental Title against Maxxine Dupri. Lynch ended up losing the match via DQ after she hit Dupri with the belt. In a non-title match, Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeated Roxanne Perez. So that’s the episode that helped the WWE Raw ratings get out of a slight slump.
