WWE Raw is fresh off a solid Crown Jewel PPV, where Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer won the Crown Jewel TItles after defeating Cody Rhodes and Tiffany Stratton respectively, proving that they are the superior champions in the WWE. John Cena and AJ Styles stole the show with heartfelt references to past rivals, including Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Miz, Chris Jericho, Rusev, HBK, and Undertaker. Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley put an end to their soap opera against Kabuki Warriors, and Bronson Reed earned the biggest victory in his career against Roman Reigns. Now, WWE is on the road to Survivor Series, where War Games Matches for both the men and the women will take place.
According to Wrestling Observer, Team Punk vs. Team Rollins and Team AJ Lee vs. Team Becky Lynch will take place at that event. It will be interesting to see how WWE builds up to that event, as some of the members on each team are questionable. They also have a stopgap at SNME on November 1, 2025 that should have strong implications for what will happen at Survivor Series. As for this week on Raw, two matches have been officially scheduled: Dirty Dom (c) vs. Penta for the IC Title and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. Judgment Day. Here are Raw Predictions for October 13, 2025.
Dirty Dom (c) vs. Penta [IC Title]
Dirty Dom is already scheduled to defend the IC Title against John Cena at Survivor Series, so he won't be losing the title until then. Also, Penta does not necessarily have a storyline reason to dethrone Dom, as it seems that he would be more suited to win the tag titles from Judgment Day as a consolation prize with Dragon Lee. El Grande Americanos, AJ Styles, and Rusev will likely get involved in this match, as they have all been heavily involved in storylines with Judgment Day. Rusev will likely get a rematch for the title at SNME in November after he defeats Finn Balor on Raw.
Prediction: Dirty Dom
Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. Judgment Day [Tag Match]
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria should be on Team AJ Lee inside War Games, instead of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. It's a shame that their strong storyline will be wasted and not paid off at a big 4 PPV. It's an even bigger shame that Bayley has been left off the WrestleMania card, SummerSlam, and now presumably the Survivor Series card this year. Nonetheless, Bayley and Lyra will defeat Judgment Day here, as they try their best to co-exist despite Bayley's unpredictable gimmick. WWE will likely drag this feud out even further until they decide who will be next for the tag titles for the holidays.
Prediction: Bayley & Lyra Valkyria
Confirmed Match Card & Segments for 10/13 WWE Raw Episode:
