A Battle Royal was the centerpiece of this event, where wrestlers competed for a chance to challenge CM Punk for the vacant world heavyweight championship on November 1 at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Key Events from the Battle Royal
Before the match began, General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed were removed from the competition. This decision followed an incident where The Vision attempted to undermine Pearce during the show’s opening segment.
Notable Performances
Throughout the Battle Royal, several notable moments occurred:
- Sheamus made a comeback to Raw, eliminating JD McDonagh and Finn Balor from Judgment Day.

- AJ Styles eventually eliminated Dominik, but the latter cleverly re-entered the match unnoticed by the referees.
- Jimmy Uso played a crucial role in saving his twin brother, Jey, multiple times during the match.
As the competition narrowed, tensions escalated. In the final four, a struggle occurred between Jimmy Uso and LA Knight, leading to a double elimination initiated by Jey Uso. This moment created friction between the twin brothers, as Jimmy was not pleased with Jey’s tactics.
