A new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.

Jey Uso won a number one contender’s battle royal on Monday’s WWE Raw to advance to the title match at SNME on Saturday, November 1. Uso will take on CM Punk, who won the number one contendership on last week’s Raw, for the vacant World Heavyweight title.

Raw GM Adam Pearce announced on Monday’s show that Seth Rollins would be out of action due to a shoulder injury and had been stripped of the World title. With Punk already in line for a title shot, he then announced a battle royal for Raw to determine Punk’s opponent.

Jey, brother Jimmy Uso, LA Knight, and Dominik Mysterio were the final four competitors in the battle royal on Raw, with Jey dumping both his brother and Knight out of the ring for a double elimination. Jey then avoided a 619 attempt from Mysterio to win the match. A staredown with Punk closed Raw.

Salt Lake City will host the next episode of SNME on November 1, the second of two consecutive nights in the city, as Delta Center will also host the Halloween SmackDown the day before.

Our full report from Monday’s Raw which also featured a World Tag Team title change is available here.

Last Monday on “Raw,” WWE’s future plans seemed to go up in smoke after news emerged that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins had suffered a shoulder injury and would need surgery, leaving him out of action for the foreseeable future. While WWE moved quickly to explain his absence by having The Vision turn on Rollins, it did little to explain future plans for the World Heavyweight Title, which Rollins was scheduled to defend against CM Punk at “Saturday Night’s Main Event” on November 1.

Whatever idea WWE has should be revealed tonight, however, as Bodyslam+ reports that Punk’s opponent for “SNME” will be determined on this evening’s edition of “Raw.” But it won’t be decided in a regular singles match or even a three-way or four-way bout, with WWE instead expected to hold a battle royal, with the winner earning a title shot.

No names, nor number of participants, were confirmed for this battle royal, leaving it impossible to predict at the moment. Some fans will surely speculate that The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed will be among the favorites, should they participate. Breakker was the one who led the attack on Rollins just one week ago, and photos from after the show showed the former NXT Champion posing with the World Heavyweight title.

Meanwhile, Reed just recently picked up the biggest win of his career, defeating Roman Reigns in an Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel. Other potential contenders could be former champion Jey Uso and LA Knight, who both came up short against Punk last week on “Raw” in the match to determine Rollins’ challenger.

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City might feature a CM Punk rematch.

For the past few months, CM Punk has been dealing with Seth Rollins, which reached its climax at Wrestlepalooza in he form of a mixed tag team match. The Visionary paired with Becky Lynch, while The Voice of the Voiceless paired with his returning wife, AJ Lee. Since then, The Best in the World has crossed paths with LA Knight and The Usos on Monday Night RAW.

However, it looks like the former champion’s story with The Vision member is not done yet. In a recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are three matches scheduled for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. As per the site’s sources, CM Punk is set to headline the upcoming show against Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship

CM Punk Vs. Seth Rollins Won’t Be The Only Rematch At WWE SNME Salt Lake City

From the same report, it was mentioned that another rematch, possibly set for the upcoming WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City, is between SmackDown stars Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Championship.

Both women feuded for the title at SummerSlam, which ended with the champion retaining the gold. The last time they shared the ring was on the September 26 episode of SmackDown, where they competed in a triple threat for the title with Nia Jax. Like the result at SummerSlam, Stratton brought home the gold.

Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu vs. Drew McIntyre is the other match reportedly scheduled for WWE SNME Salt Lake City. The feud between the men has been brewing on SmackDown for a while now. The most recent interaction between them took place on this week’s Friday show, where both men brawled backstage. This time, it’s not a rematch and will be their first singles clash against each other.
