Bron Breakker's spear on Seth Rollins and the betrayal by him and Bronson Reed was a major storyline development on WWE Raw in October 2025. The primary reasons include:

• Seth Rollins' arrogance and declaration that he did not need anyone, which alienated Breakker and Reed who felt sidelined and unappreciated in their faction "The Vision." This arrogance led to Breakker and Reed turning on him to assert their own dominance and importance in WWE.

• The faction leader Paul Heyman, known for manipulating and turning on allies for his own gain, appears to have abandoned Rollins, aligning with Breakker and Reed to usher in a new era and push Breakker as the new visionary of the group.

• Breakker’s attack, particularly the spear, was a symbolic move to break away from Rollins' shadow and position himself as a top contender and leader, especially after Rollins’ win at Crown Jewel where he had used underhanded tactics, leading to fractured trust.

• There is also speculation that Rollins might have been legitimately injured or this turn could be part of a longer storyline, but the dominant narrative is that it was a coup against Rollins due to his dismissive attitude and the seeking of a fresh direction for the group.

In summary, Bron Breakker speared Seth Rollins as a dramatic betrayal driven by Rollins’ dismissiveness, faction power struggles, strategic faction leadership changes, and efforts to elevate Breakker's status in WWE.
