WWE Crown Jewel 2023: Logan Paul Becomes United States Champion, Roman Reigns Defeats LA Knight, John Cena’s Losing Streak Continues
Logan Paul has captured his first WWE championship. The social media/You Tube sensation-turned-boxer and pro wrestler, defeated Rey Mysterio Jr. for the United States Championship in one of the only title changes at Saturday’s WWE Crown Jewel premium live event on Peacock emanating from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Paul’s victory, however, came with an assist from a pair of brass knuckles when a member of his ‘entourage’ snuck to the side of the ring and handed them to Paul. “The Maverick” has used the ‘knucks’ in his previous victory over Ricochet. However, after Hall of Famer, Mysterio, thwarted his first attempt for Paul to use them, Paul’s buddy went to the other side of the ring to retrieve them when LWO member, Santos Escobar stopped him.
However, in what looks to be intentional, Escobar left the brass knuckles inside the ring for Paul to grab, while he ran after Paul’s friend. This time, Paul grabbed them and smashed Rey with a right-hand hook to complete his finisher with a springboard-like move.

During the match, and being wiser in the ring than his years in it, Paul actually saved Mysterio from sustaining a major injury, when he caught Rey mid-air on a springboard move before Mysterio could have landed awkwardly on his head.
In the main event, Roman Reigns retained his WWE Universal Championship against the “Megastar” LA Knight. While Knight is the hottest WWE superstar according to the WWE Universe, Reigns did just enough to win including having interference from ‘Bloodline’ members, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. Roman secured the win with a Spear on Knight through the barricade outside the ring, before bringing him back into the ring, for another Spear to get the win.

16-time WWE champion John Cena wanted to prove he’s still got it, after having lost in all his singles match over the last five years; whenever he returned to the WWE. The match served to prop up Solo Sikoa as a singles wrestler by ultimately destroying Cena with shot after shot with his noted taped thumb – the Samoan Spike. After the beatdown, Cena got a standing ovation from the crowd, but left dejected.
Speaking of dejected, the best match of the night was in the opener between WWE Champion, Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre. After some great moves and a wild battle, Rollins ultimately secured the pin. Next, Damian Priest came out to cash in on his ‘Money in the Bank’ contract, but a hooded Sami Zayn messed up the moment for him by stealing the briefcase. Thus, Rollins was saved having to wrestle again in the same night and possibly lose his championship.

A dejected McIntyre went backstage, where Rhea Ripley saw him sitting dejected in an “I told you so” moment, since she offered the Judgment Day’s help. A full heel turn has to now be on the horizon for McIntyre.
And, it was interference a go-go, during Bianca Belair’s attempt to win back the WWE Women’s championship from Iyo Sky. Later in the match, Damage CTRL’s Bayley came to the ring to assist Sky. However, Sky didn’t need her help when none other than Kairi Sane came out of nowhere and took out Belair. In the end, Belair was pinned by Sky. Sane and Sky celebrated in the ring, while Bayley looked concerned outside the ring. If you recall, Bayley put Sane on the shelf a few years ago. Will this beatdown finally turn Bianca heel?

In other bouts, Cody Rhodes defeated Damian Priest to continue his ascent to “finish the story”, and Rhea Ripley retained her Women’s championship against Nia Jax. Zoey Stark, Shayna Baszler and Raquel Rodriguez. To kick things off, Sami Zayn (of Syrian-descent), wrestled JD McDonagh, prior to the official start of Crown Jewel. Zayn got the win to the delight of the crowd.

General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
