A big spoiler regarding the opening segment for Monday’s episode of “WWE Raw” has been reported. PWInsider has brought word that the red brand will begin with the planned in-ring promo involving both CM Punk and “Main Event” Jey Uso. The two are set to collide for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at “Saturday Night’s Main Event.”
Punk won a triple threat match against Uso and LA Knight during the Oct. 13 episode of “Monday Night Raw.” Once Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship, a battle royal was booked to determine who will meet Punk for the gold in Salt Lake City. Uso ended up outlasting the field to earn the title match.

Jey Uso’s Change in Character
As of late, Uso has been taking a more serious approach with his attitude. While Uso remains a top babyface with his “Yeet” entrance, Roman Reigns has been advising his cousin to reach his full potential. During the battle royal last week, Uso eliminated his brother Jimmy, who had been saving him throughout the match.
Punk has called Uso out on his newfound edge. He said that while Uso’s goal to become a two-time world champion is admirable, he doesn’t like that his friend is becoming “Little Roman.” Uso was close to delivering a superkick to Punk, but his brother prevented him from doing so. Whether or not Uso and Punk will get physical prior to “Saturday Night’s Main Event” remains to be seen.
“WWE Raw” emanates from the Honda Center in Anaheim. Penta and Rusev will square off to determine a No. 1 contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, which is held by Dominik Mysterio. Plus, Roxanne Perez of The Judgment Day will collide with Nikki Bella.
