Biggest Storylines to Watch on WWE Raw
Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn: Crown Jewel Tension
Reigns is scheduled to appear after retaining the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at Money in the Bank. His next major challenge is already looming: a champion-versus-champion clash with WWE Champion Sami Zayn at Crown Jewel on November 7. Zayn is also expected in San Diego, making a confrontation between the former Bloodline allies a central storyline to watch — though a match between them is not announced for tonight’s televised card.
Reigns also has unfinished Bloodline business. On last week’s Raw, Carmelo Hayes returned to help The 946 attack Solo Sikoa and The Usos, turning their six-man tag match into a no-contest. With the rivalry becoming increasingly personal, the Tribal Chief has more than one issue demanding his attention.
Penta vs. Bron Breakker: A Major Test for Mr. Money in the Bank
Penta’s Money in the Bank briefcase puts him within striking distance of a world championship opportunity, but Bron Breakker is determined to disrupt his momentum. Breakker crashed Penta’s celebration on October 12 and speared an already-injured Je’Von Evans. Their scheduled one-on-one encounter provides a chance for Penta to respond in the ring, while keeping the threat of a potential cash-in firmly in view.
Joe Hendry vs. JD McDonagh: The Joke Turns Into a Fight
Joe Hendry’s taunts of JD McDonagh have repeatedly embarrassed the Judgment Day member, particularly the running Funko Pop gag. McDonagh issued a challenge after last week’s humiliation, and their singles match is now on the card. The result could have ramifications for Hendry’s place on Raw and for McDonagh’s standing with Judgment Day.
Women’s Titles and Other Names to Watch
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is among WWE’s advertised stars in San Diego. Her Crown Jewel opponent, WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green, suffered a non-title loss to Roxanne Perez last week after interference involving Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. The fallout could affect both championships, but WWE has not announced a women’s title match for tonight.
Oba Femi, Dominik Mysterio and Sol Ruca are also featured on WWE’s local event listing. An advertised appearance does not necessarily mean an announced televised match.

What Comes Next?
