WWE Raw preview (Oct. 13, 2025): The future of WWE is now controlled by The Vision

Raw airs this morning (Oct. 13) with a live show from RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. This is the first episode of Raw during the seven week build to Survivor Series, which takes place on November 29. Today’s Raw has a special start time of 8 am ET on Netflix.

The future of WWE is now controlled by The Vision

The Vision leveled up in a major way at Crown Jewel, with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins finally beating WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and Bronson Reed doing the unthinkable and handing a singles loss to Roman Reigns. Bron Breakker was right in the middle of the latter result, while Paul Heyman is the mastermind behind the entire operation.

There is no doubt that these four men will show up on Raw today to brag about how quickly WWE is being shaped by their vision for the future of the industry. The only problem with this, of course, is that CM Punk, LA Knight, and The Usos don’t want to hear any of that shit.

Rollins won’t get to bask in the glow of his win for too long because he has so many of these guys chasing after his world title at the same time. Punk, Knight, and Jey Uso all believe they deserve the next title shot. GM Adam Pearce will need to book a match very soon to figure out who gets first crack at Seth, perhaps just in time for Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1. But given how most of these babyfaces can’t get along to effectively fight off Seth’s group, will The Vision be able to erase them off the map before Pearce finds a solution?

Tune into Raw today to listen to The Vision’s trash talk and to see if there is anything that Punk, Knight, or The Usos can do about it.

The rest of the card

Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio defends the gold today against Penta. There’s a pretty good chance that Rusev will get involved at some point, seeing how he tried to get his hands on Dirty Dom last week and ate a superkick from Penta along the way. Will Penta and Dom both be crushed by a run-in from the Bulgarian Brute, leading to a No Contest?

Lyra Valkyria & Bayley vs. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez is also booked on today’s show. These wrestlers have traded wins in singles matches in recent weeks as Lyra tries to get a handle on Bayley’s split personality. Will Valkyria do what she can to bring out the Role Model version of Bayley if that extra aggression is needed to beat the Judgment Day?
