Championship at Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event on November 1 has now been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of tonight\u2019s WWE Raw, Adam Pearce announced that Seth Rollins had been stripped of the World Heavyweight Title due to undergoing \u201cmajor surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Via his win in a #1 contender\u2019s three-way last week against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/superstars\/la-knight\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LA Knight<\/a> and Jey Uso, CM Punk is still owed a title shot, and will get it at SNME.<\/p>\n<p>Pearce announced that his opponent in that match would be determined in an over the top battle royal in the main event of tonight\u2019s show.<\/p>\n<p>The lineup was confirmed as being Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, LA Knight, AJ Styles, Dragon Lee, Sheamus, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, <a href=\"http:\/\/wrestletalk.com\/topic\/dominik-mysterio\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dominik Mysterio<\/a>, Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, Kofi Kingston, Grayson

the field at the other 17.<\/p>\n<p>The final four came down to LA Knight, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Dominik Mysterio \u2013 the later of which had actually already been thrown out with both feet touching the floor, but got back in after the referees didn\u2019t see it.<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy had saved Jey from elimination a couple of times, but when it came down to it, Jey eliminated both Jimmy and Knight at the same time, leaving Jimmy irate at ringside.<\/p>\n<p>That meant it came down to Jey and Dominik Mysterio, with Jey ultimately picking up the victory.<\/p>\n<p>It will be CM Punk vs Jey Uso At WWE Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event on November 1 for the World Heavyweight Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Punk got into the ring for a brief face-to-face with Jey after the match.<\/p>\n<p><a
