The WWE RAW Wrestlepalooza Fallout delivered unexpected betrayals and tense confrontations this week, unfolding across various storylines that have left fans uneasy. The Kabuki Warriors launched a sudden attack on IYO Sky, while Seth Rollins appeared visibly shaken after a heated encounter with Cody Rhodes on RAW.
Below is a detailed account of the main developments and their potential impact on upcoming WWE events.
Paul Heyman’s Shifting Loyalties with Brock Lesnar Stir Tensions
Paul Heyman shocked fans during Wrestlepalooza by stepping into Brock Lesnar’s corner, announcing his return in his trademark style. This moment sent ripples through WWE, especially since Heyman currently acts as The Oracle for Seth Rollins’ faction, The Vision. Just before the event, Lesnar had sought a backstage discussion with Heyman, saying, “We should talk.”
Heyman’s previous betrayals, including the one at WrestleMania 41 where he turned on Roman Reigns and CM Punk, make his alliance with Lesnar all the more uncertain. The presence of Brock Lesnar alongside Heyman, while Heyman manages RAW talents Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, opens questions about his true commitment and foreshadows disruptions within The Vision.

Jey Uso’s Growing Frustration May Lead to a Title Pursuit
Jimmy Uso’s concern over his brother Jey’s escalating anger continues to mount after Wrestlepalooza. Jey was enraged when LA Knight officiated their tag team match, heightening tensions between the siblings.
Compounding the strain, Jimmy found out that Jey secretly arranged a singles match against The Megastar with WWE official Adam Pearce, without his knowledge. More telling was Jey’s conversation with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who offered support and friendship during their exchange.
During this moment, Jey glanced knowingly at the Undisputed WWE Title beside Rhodes, signaling his possible intention to challenge for the championship as his rage intensifies.
Seth Rollins’ Rivalry with Cody Rhodes Deepens on RAW
The animosity between Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes escalated noticeably this week, with their Champion vs. Champion match at Crown Jewel looming. Their exchange on RAW was tense, each taking digs at the other’s history and record.
Rhodes reminded everyone that Rollins holds a 0-3 record against him, underscoring the psychological edge in the rivalry. An intriguing detail emerged when Rollins revealed that Rhodes had gifted him a watch after WrestleMania 40, a gesture Rollins later appeared distracted by backstage while his wife Becky Lynch talked nearby.
This distraction hints at internal conflict and pressure weighing on Rollins as Crown Jewel approaches, possibly affecting The Vision leader’s focus.
Dominik Mysterio’s Fracturing Relationship with The Judgment Day Faction
Dominik Mysterio’s recent cold behavior toward The Judgment Day faction has reached a breaking point. After requesting help from Finn Balor with an issue involving Rusev, Balor refused, emphasizing a desire to face his challenges independently.
While JD McDonagh showed disapproval of Mysterio’s hesitance, Roxanne Perez sided with Balor and convinced WWE Tag Team Champions to back the cause. However, Mysterio shocked the faction by naming McDonagh as the competitor against Rusev, creating internal friction.
During the match, when Rusev applied The Accolade on McDonagh, Mysterio’s hesitation to intervene was unmistakable. Balor eventually pushed Rusev away, but not before a visible confrontation between Balor and Mysterio marked deeper fractures.
Additionally, Mysterio appears to be aligning with El Grande Americano, signaling a potential split from his former group and intensifying tensions within The Judgment Day’s ranks.
Broader Implications for WWE’s Upcoming Events
The fallout from Wrestlepalooza on this week’s RAW suggests multiple storylines entering a precarious phase. Paul Heyman’s ambiguous loyalties and possible distractions within The Vision could alter the balance of power. Jey Uso’s simmering anger and secret moves hint at a future challenge for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Title.
The worsening relationship between Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day threatens to unravel the faction’s cohesion ahead of key WWE shows. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins’ distracted state after his confrontation with Rhodes suggests his mental state could impact their forthcoming Crown Jewel clash.
As WWE RAW continues to build toward Crown Jewel and beyond, the evolving betrayals and alliances demonstrated this week deepen the uncertainty and unpredictability that fans have come to expect from these top-tier superstars.
