This week’s episode of Raw kicked off with Adam Pearce in the ring, but he was interrupted as the cameras cut backstage to show The Vision pulling up in a SUV. Bron Breakker walked into the arena with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder and Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed by his side.
Adam Pearce then announced that Seth Rollins had major surgery and is currently sidelined at home. Pearce officially announced that Seth Rollins has been stripped of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
The Raw General Manager told Bron Breakker that a battle royal will be held on Raw to determine who will face CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1st. He confirmed that the battle royal will take place tonight and demanded that Bron Breakker hand over the belt.
Bron Breakker asked Pearce what happens if he doesn’t hand it over. Paul Heyman pulled Breakker aside and advised him then Breakker got in Pearce’s face and told him to show some respect. Pearce respectfully asked Bron Breakker to hand over the championship. Breakker told Pearce to say please, and he did, so Breakker handed the belt to Paul Heyman who then handed it to Adam Pearce.
