Wwe Raw October 21st, 2024: Winners and Losers – A Night of Surprises!
Bron Breakker's Triumphant Return: A New Intercontinental Champion is Crowned!
Philadelphia's WWE Raw delivered a seriously electrifying night, kicking off with Bron Breakker reclaiming the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a stunning main event victory over Jey Uso! This epic showdown involved multiple events and ended in a surprisingly decisive ending and a change of titles, demonstrating some major consequences. Breakker kicked out Uso's devastating Uso Splash before things got seriously intense, highlighting how well-positioned this wrestler now is! And Breakker's championship-winning spear? It looked utterly brutal! This incredible victory cemented Breakker as a seriously dominant force and emphasizes that the main roster really does have this incredibly powerful rising star, and he remains extremely well-positioned for future bouts!
The title match is even more noteworthy due to other developments which added immense symbolic importance for its inclusion: it’s significant that this major event involved the Intercontinental Championship (IC) and was connected to the larger storyline involving The Bloodline itself; with a crucial, violent altercation during this fight which saw several important wrestlers entering at various moments, really added more importance for the ongoing events for that specific wrestling event. That unexpected and rather decisive end highlights how important this title now is in these high-profile feuds. Bron Breakker is totally back on top!
Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: A Brawl for the Ages!
Things began strangely, in an unexpected attack during Raw’s intro segment. The normally calm entrance of Bronson Reed transformed suddenly after a totally unhinged Seth Rollins ambushed Reed; kicking off a feud. And it didn't stop there: A chaotic series of clashes broke out and a very intense brawl unfolded, reaching a brutal climax, completely involving the entire Raw crew! These guys absolutely hated each other— Rollins even cutting his intro song off angrily— setting the stage for an epic showdown.
Things intensified! Rollins and Reed crashed through an announcer's table in an unexpected ending. Even an interview with Adam Pearce became a battleground; this sequence highlights the absolute rage between the fighters; before things calmed slightly and Pearce confirmed that highly-anticipated bout, a massive win for WWE planning a bigger story! The upcoming showdown, Rollins vs Reed, at Crown Jewel will involve a longer, overarching storyline; emphasizing a critical shift from WWE’s typical quick fights and showing that larger feuds might exist within the near future.
Dominik Mysterio’s Bold Challenge: Targeting Gunther for the World Championship
The Judgment Day's clubhouse drama reached a major breaking point with an unexpectedly major announcement; an important change of course! While Finn Balor focuses on Priest, and Liv Morgan keeps dealing with Rhea Ripley, there's another person seeking action. Dominik Mysterio, wants a shot at Gunther's World Championship! A challenge he appears rather serious about and ultimately adds an amazing and extremely hilarious note in several key places; before other surprising events unfolded throughout the episode.
Carlito’s role, showing him act as The Judgment Day’s “fixer” and asking Pearce to approve Mysterio's fight really demonstrated a massive turning point within WWE, leading to yet another plot element—and yet more comedic tension. Mysterio's upcoming bout is meant for a “Number One Contender” spot and further highlights those important changes to this storyline, potentially leading to unexpected turns, especially concerning Gunther’s reaction (who hasn’t heard of this!). There is some serious future potential here for the highly hated Mysterio—and this whole segment, full of comedy and unexpectedly tense situations!
Jey Uso: Betrayal and Reckoning Await!
Jey Uso's confrontation of the Bloodline on SmackDown made serious waves! That speech (appealing to Solo Sikoa to break away!) resulted in another unexpectedly dramatic turn; the unexpected threatening of Jacob Fatu! Then, in that huge battle at Raw, his attempt at reconciliation creates consequences: A surprise ringside attack with the IC title fight, delivering those huge shock moments—with multiple members arriving to show those important changes and events for their own plans for revenge!
This will really affect Jey Uso. His previous rejection of Roman Reigns’ advance leads now to this potentially pivotal moment where those connections may just be repaired in various ways that are currently unclear—all creating a series of high-stakes opportunities for both upcoming SmackDown and Survivor Series. Those very public consequences are really making many people focus and speculate on just how this particular plot might play out.
The Miz, The Final Testament, and the Wyatt 6's Arrival
The tournament continues for the Number One contender. The New Day vs The Authors of Pain? This was also memorable because The Miz showed up. Showing another layer for The Miz: His addition to The Final Testament added intrigue—alongside a rather hilarious surprise from R-Truth; adding an unpredictable turn into an already very tense moment before something else happens completely unexpectedly! The appearance of The Wyatt 6 is a little repetitive; and lacks that impact.
Those lights going out; announcing the Wyatt 6’s intentions to take down The Final Testament—a surprising but effective change in direction! And Uncle Howdy’s attempt at attacking Miz gets wildly undercut by a more surprising arrival; 71-year-old Paul Ellering (receiving that infamous mandible claw!). Philadelphia's reaction is totally insane, and many people will pay even more attention next week! And it also makes this entire plot around this feud significantly more interesting because of this twist that ended this episode.
American Made: A Team Struggling to Find its Footing
Fans who love solid wrestling were really rooting for American Made. The team’s combination of Chad Gable, The Creed Brothers, and Ivy Nile, appeared quite good! But they fell short against Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee— another setback for American Made. This could've been overlooked except it happened right before a political period!
The failure really emphasizes this somewhat unfortunate element: the misinterpretation by those who are politically active; these political accusations have negative impacts and can even be destructive on those who could potentially be successful but instead get misinterpreted and get sidelined due to various cultural controversies; really making people wonder if political discourse has unintentionally sidelined a seriously promising group and its potential impact, highlighting that sometimes, a great idea is not enough to be actually great and successful.
Conclusion: Raw Delivers Thrills and Intrigue, But With Unresolved Storylines
WWE Raw delivered serious entertainment! Several changes of title, high-stakes confrontations, unexpected alliances, the rise and fall of new feuds all created this night of surprises which ultimately led to immense anticipation towards that upcoming Crown Jewel and Survivor Series. Some story arcs remain slightly underwhelming, creating those lingering questions: and this adds intrigue! But those dramatic, violent shifts completely demonstrate that things aren’t slowing down any time soon!
