8 New Directions For WWE After Crown Jewel 2025

1. Seth Rollins Reinforcing His Vision Control

During the Crown Jewel post-show, Seth badmouthed the live crowd and seemed full of confidence following his win over Cody. He didn't seem too bothered about any of the issues that have been blighting The Vision as of late, or the tension that exists between he and Heyman. Assuming Paul E brings Brock back as a "surprise gift" for Rollins, then Seth will need to reassert his authority.

So to speak.

Again, Heyman warned that things would change if Seth lost to Rhodes on Saturday, and that's something the reigning World Heavyweight Champion could take as a threat. As aforementioned, Bron Breakker didn’t seem too chuffed with any of this, whereas Bronson Reed was willing to do whatever Paul said. That could prove problematic for The Vision, or at least come up as a stumbling block they have to get over.

It feels far too soon to split the group or even take Heyman from Seth’s side, so they’ll likely patch it up, but there's some trouble brewing if Lesnar gets involved in the picture come WarGames. Longer term, Paul might need to eat some humble pie and defer to Rollins. Cool, because he’s good at grovelling and has excelled in similar segments with Roman Reigns and others in the past.

Seth having a word with Bronson (who will be full of swagger himself after beating Reigns) could lead to him putting Reed and Breakker against one another to 'blow off some steam'. This is all conjecture, of course, but it'd be a lot of fun and could make episodes of Raw fascinating.
