WWE 'Raw': Jey Uso Becomes No. 1 Contender After World Heavyweight Championship Is Vacated

Jey Uso won a Battle Royal against multiple contenders, including his twin brother, earning a shot at the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Title after Seth Rollins' surgery.

  • On Oct. 21, Jey Uso was named the No. 1 contender and will face CM Punk at Saturday Night's Main Event on Nov. 1 for the vacated World Heavyweight Championship.
  • Raw general manager Adam Pearce announced Seth Rollins underwent "major surgery" and will be out for an extended period after last week's betrayal by Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman.
  • The Battle Royal on Raw featured over-the-top-rope eliminations and saw Jey eliminate LA Knight, Jimmy Uso, and Dominik Mysterio, who sneaked back into the match.
  • Bron Breakker handed the title over to Adam Pearce, who excluded Breakker and Bronson Reed from the Battle Royal due to their attack on Seth Rollins.
  • The World Heavyweight Championship picture was flipped on its head on Raw, leaving CM Punk positioned to hold the title until Seth Rollins returns with multiple challengers waiting.
