WWE Clash in Paris: Becky Lynch Joining Forces with Seth Rollins Opens Door to a Long Hoped For Return; John Cena and Logan Paul Steal the Show

The final moments of WWE’s Clash in Paris streaming Sunday on Peacock, gave the WWE Universe not only a shocker, but left two central questions, some which may be answered tonight on WWE Monday Night Raw streaming on Netflix.

In the main event, and at the conclusion of the fatal four-way between WWE champion Seth Rollins, his bitter rival, CM Punk, along with LA Knight and Jey Uso, ‘The Visionary” had Punk right where he wanted and he audibly said, “I hate you, I hate your stupid family.” Rollins wanted to send Punk out of pro wrestling for good. Next, Rollins grabbed a chair and stuffs Punk’s head in it, and then went for his patented Stomp.

However, Punk escaped and was about to finish Rollins off and win the title, when out of nowhere, a black-cloaked ninja-like figure emerged. After hitting Punk with a low blow, it is revealed to be none other than Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch! She also has seemingly a “Vision” t-shirt on, indicating she may become the first “Heyman girl” and join Seth’s faction along with Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, but stay tuned on that one.

Once Rollins spouted about Punk and his family, once Lynch saved the day for her hubby, it can only be surmised, that now after ten years, and after her neck injury which forced her to an early retirement, that AJ Lee would return to the ring and team with her hubby, CM Punk, in a mixed tag match against Rollins and Lynch at the upcoming first-ever Wrestlepalooza, which will be the WWE’s first major premium-live-event under its new deal with ESPN. Make it happen, Triple H!

JOHN CENA VS. LOGAN PAUL

Clearly, the match of the night. Logan Paul is next-level. His athleticism is without peer at this point, and in this match against John Cena in Paris, France, even though he didn’t pick up the “W”, Cena (who also wrestled his best match on his retirement tour), gave Paul the showcase to elevate him.

In a match where both men pulled out rarely seen moves including Cena giving nods to his favorites with a Styles Clash and End of Days, and Paul giving us more maneuvers in his arsenal, it took Cena a third Attitude Adjustment to score the pin.

And if you want to get emotional, the crowd in Paris, who was electric from the start, gave Cena, perhaps the biggest swan song in Europe, with their non-stop cheers, singing, chanting for the 17-time champion and GOAT, as he now only has three months left before he takes his final bow on Saturday Night’s Main Event in Boston come December.

ROMAN REIGNS VS. BRONSON REED

This match was utilized to prop up Bronson Reed.  And it did just that, proving he too can be menacing as all get out. The problem was this all ended in a way too familiar way. After securing the win, Reigns got his shoe-la-fa-la back from his former Wiseman, Paul Heyman (but not before getting some payback for Heyman’s insidious double-cross of him at WrestleMania 41 and taking him out.)

Next, as Reigns threw autographed tennis shoes of his into the crowd, he was blindsided with a spear by Bron Breakker, and then for minutes on end, in a match and segment that went over 1 hour, Roman was beatdown to the point of being stretchered out, only to be on the receiving end of Reed’s Tsunami’s multiple times from the top rope.

In the end, Reigns is taken out on a stretcher, paving the wave for the OTC1’s exit rom WWE programming, Heyman was also taken to the hospital and Reed and Breakker were barred from the arena for the rest of the night by RAW General Manager, Adam Pearce. This all paved the way for what happened in the main event, that Rollins, without his band of merry men had a trick up his sleeve …”The Man” Becky Lynch.

The rest of the card was extremely lackluster with Nikki Bella vs, Becky Lynch, Shemas vs Rusev in a Donneybrook Match, and The Street Profits trying to win the tag titles from the Wyattt Sicks, and so we give Clash in Paris overall a C+.

Now, what did you think of Becky Lynch joining forces with Seth Rollins? Will she join the Vision? Is the return of AJ Lee imminent? Let us know via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond

Published

When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.

Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.

As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION

Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it.  I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”

Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl  I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”

BROTHER TO BROTHER

Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”

In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”

All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?

So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
