So we might see Rollins look ahead to that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But after losing to CM Punk and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/09\/18\/seth-rollins-talks-aj-lees-wwe-return-ahead-of-wrestlepalooza\/\" target=\"_self\">AJ Lee at Wrestlepalooza<\/a>, Lynch might want to keep her &#8220;Visionary&#8221; husband&#8217;s vision <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> those two. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dragon Lee was seeing triple last week, when a trio of El Grande Americanos appeared as he was booked to face one of them. Finn Balor is also worried about El Grande Americano feeling The Judgement Day owes him after he helped Dominik Mysterio win the AAA Mega Championship. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But Dirty Dom is just worried about Rusev claiming to be next in line for a shot at Mysterio&#8217;s WWE Intercontinental Championship. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Talking of titles. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/09\/18\/match-point-iyo-sky-vs-stephanie-vaquer-wwe-wrestlepalooza\/\" target=\"_self\">Stephanie Vaquer<\/a> is the new <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/09\/20\/andnew-womens-world-champion-crowned-at-wwe-wrestlepalooza\/\" target=\"_self\">Women&#8217;s World Champion<\/a> and will certainly appear on WWE Raw. But who might want the first shot at her?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">IYO SKY might be too distracted to want a rematch with Vaquer by Asuka, claiming she &#8216;told her so&#8217; for playing nice with her in the championship match at Wrestlepalooza. Rhea Ripley has already claimed she wants a shot at the Women&#8217;s World Championship, but she, too, could be distracted by Asuka and Kairi Sane after she backed up Nikki Bella in a two-on-one verbal assault last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bayley is distracted by her split personalities at the moment. Which one will meet <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/05\/21\/flight-of-the-valkyria-how-lyra-ascended-wwe-roster\/\" target=\"_self\">Lyra Valkyria<\/a> when she inevitably comes snooping around her? Let&#8217;s wait and see on WWE Raw tonight.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Phew.
