Stock Decreases

Rusev faced a notable setback this week, losing to Dragon Lee on Main Event. The report also highlighted the uncertain future of the faction known as The Vision. The group's continued existence is in question, especially after Seth Rollins defeated Bron Breakker at Night of Champions. Austin Theory received a cold reception from Paul Heyman on Raw, combined with Theory's loss to Joe Hendry. Theory's push appears to be heavily dependent on The Vision remaining intact. Without the faction, Theory's trajectory in WWE appears uncertain.

Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, and Paul Heyman might be better off if WWE decides to disband The Vision, whereas Austin Theory's push completely depends on being a member of this group. If The Vision goes away, Theory's push is in jeopardy.

Raquel Rodriguez has emerged as a strong contender in the women's division. On Raw, she assisted in laying out IYO SKY, attacked Danhausen, and easily defeated Maxxine Dupri to earn a future title match against Women's Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca. Sol has not had the best rollout on WWE's main roster, so it's not unthinkable that Raquel could defeat her for the belt.

Even though Cody Rhodes lost the WWE Championship to Sami Zayn at Night of Champions, Rhodes has earned a rematch for the gold on the July 6 Raw in Chicago. Rhodes secured this opportunity by defeating Jey Uso in a number one contender's match. Rhodes is considered the favorite to win back his belt on Raw and head into SummerSlam as the defending champion.

Paul Heyman returned to Raw with Brock Lesnar by his side. Lesnar kicked King Oba Femi in the groin and laid him out with an F5 to set up a Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam. Oba Femi gave up his guaranteed world title match at SummerSlam as a result of Brock's attack. This decision makes Lesnar appear even more important and like the biggest bad guy in WWE.
