WWE RAWâ€s go-home show for Crown Jewel had so many surprises and chaos. From intense backstage confrontations to post-match ambushes, every segment seemed designed to set up big moments in Perth. Fans tuned in expecting twists, but many turns played out exactly as teased all night. What should have been shocking betrayals and sudden heel shifts instead felt predictable, each development following a clear roadmap laid earlier in the build.
With only a few days until Crown Jewel, WWE pumped the brakes on subtlety and drove the storylines straight into ‘obvious’ territory.
4. Kairi Sane Stands Up Against Asuka
The match between Sane and Sky ended with Sane rolling up Sky for the win, but the real shock came after the bell rang. Asuka grabbed Skyâ€s arms behind the refereeâ€s back so that Sane could deliver the spinning back-fist and Insane Elbow. Tears filled Saneâ€s eyes as she struck her former friend, revealing she followed orders more than her own heart.
On the same show, when Asuka arranged the singles match between Sane and Sky, she was reluctant to face her family member. She even argued with the Empress of Tomorrow, who slapped Sane as she refused to follow instructions.
A slap to @KAIRI_official?!?

If things stay the same way at Crown Jewel, Sane betraying Asuka and turning on her shouldn’t surprise fans. She has been the one struggling in the middle of Sky-Asuka feud, and if she might snap if things reaches boiling point.
3. Jey Uso Snapping on Jimmy Uso
During the October 6 show, Roman Reigns confronted The Usos about loyalty and focus heading into Crown Jewel backstage. When Jimmy offered to help Reigns, Jey brusquely cut him off, declaring he had The Tribal Chiefâ€s back and stormed away. Later, Jimmy tried to calm Jey during an ambush segment with CM Punk and LA Knight. Instead of backing down, Jey confronted Jimmy in a sudden outburst, berating his brother for ‘protecting Punk’ and demanding Jimmy pick a side.
The split highlighted tension between the twins and could set up a sibling rivalry for the future.
2. The Oracle Leaves the Visionary for the Tribal Chief
In a tense locker-room scene, Seth Rollins pressed Paul Heyman on what would happen if he failed to beat Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Heyman first assured Rollins’ victory was inevitable, but under Rollins’ insistence, he admitted that a loss would force him to question why he backed Rollins over Roman Reigns. Heyman warned that losing would cost Rollins the locker roomâ€s faith and make Heyman reconsider his allegiance. The threat of Heyman abandoning Rollins underscored the high stakes of their rivalry and cast doubt on their partnershipâ€s endurance.
1. AJ Styles Could Switch Gear Before The John Cena Match
After teaming with Dragon Lee and Penta to defeat The Judgment Day, AJ Styles grabbed a mic and vented his frustration at the backstage interference and perceived bias from WWE officials. He accused management of underestimating him and questioned their decision-making ahead of his final showdown with John Cena. Styles then delivered a sharp promo declaring that he would ‘leave everything in the ring’ and promised that his match would ‘kick a**,†embracing a more aggressive edge.

The tone shifted from respectful competitor to defiant heel, signaling a new side of Styles for their Perth collision. Over the past years, Cena has always been the face while Styles has been more towards the dark side, which worked perfectly in delivering the best rivalry of their career. If this happens before Crown Jewel, fans are guaranteed another 5-star match.
