Jey Uso vs. CM Punk Set for Nov. 1

Seth Rollins suffered a shoulder injury after Crown Jewel and was stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship, leaving the title vacant. WWE held a battle royal on Monday Night Raw — which excluded Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed per GM Adam Pearce — that Jey Uso won to become the No. 1 contender and will face CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1 in Salt Lake City. On the same Raw, Dragon Lee and AJ Styles won the WWE Tag Team Titles from The Judgment Day, Dominik Mysterio retained the Intercontinental Championship over Rusev, and Becky Lynch retained her title after losing by disqualification to Taya Valkyrie (Dupri) in her hometown. WWE creative and pundits are weighing several swerve and finish scenarios, and the outcome of the SNME title match will shape the World Heavyweight picture heading into year-end events, including the advertised December 13 farewell show for John Cena.
