WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN Season Premiere: Roman Reigns and Logan Paul Come Face-to-Face
Tonight on Fox (8 pm ET), WWE Friday Night SmackDown has its television ‘season premiere’ live from Worcester Massachusetts, one day ahead of the Extreme Rules pay-per-view (PPV) in Philadelphia.
Look for the highly-anticipated appearances of WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns and one of the biggest social media influencers in the world – now pro wrestler, Logan Paul on the premiere.. The two will come face-to-face to hype up next month’s headline match at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia.
Many have been trying to predict just how that match will finish. Former Women’s Champ, Rowdy Rhonda Rousey offered up her take on her You Tube channel sharing: “I guess they’ll have to protect both of them. So, it’s going to be like Roman cheats or something and still wins. Yeah, cause Logan Paul is still babyface. So, I don’t think they will let him cheat, but it could be a heel turn if he could cheat. But I think it would be more of like all The Bloodline’s gonna get involved and like gang up on him.”
Also tonight on Smackdown, Gunther goes up against Sheamus in a rematch from Clash at the Castle for the Intercontinental title, plus Ricochet battles the “Bloodline’s’ Solo Sikoa, and more.

On Thursday, Variety announced that the WWE has set new commentary teams for each of its television brands and those begin tonight with Smackdown. WWE mainstay, Michael Cole is back, but this time with Wade Barrett, who is moving over from the “NXT” commentary team. Samantha Irvin will serve as the ring announcer, with Kayla Braxton and Megan Morant continuing on as backstage interviewers/correspondents.
News of the shakeups comes after “SmackDown” commentator Pat McAffee announced in early September that he would be taking a temporary leave from to work as an analyst on ESPN’s College Gameday. McAffee is expected to return to his spot with WWE after the college football season concludes.
So, what do you think will eventually be the outcome of Reigns vs. Paul? The announce team changes? Comment below. But first, check out several of the WWE superstars on the rosters pick for the winner of tonight’s match between Sheamus vs. Gunther

bye ! not a sports fan.. I come here for soaps.. I have removed my “favorites” link…
MF…Okay I can’t hold back anymore. After all the very gruesome violence that is now creeping, unwanted by many, into soaps, your page is now being PR for wrestling…”smack down” today? I know you are a businessman but I hope it stops.
Who cares? Why are we seeing this??!
Because Americans are obsessed with sports and with violence…so this is the perfect union. I say we should demand equal time and insist on Soap Updates on every ESPN show.
Understand you may be trying to broaden your website audience, but you’re attempting to mix two groups that just don’t go together.
This site owes it popularity to soap fans who appreciate the open forum to discuss “their stories”.
Wrestling is a polar opposite for the majority of soap viewers (and vice versa). It’s not a far stretch to say the majority of soap fans detest wrestling and most wrestling fans have a negative opinion of soaps (despite the late Bergen Williams excellent portrayal of GH’s Alice).
You run the risk of alienating both audiences. As a long visitor and marketing executive, I’d strongly suggest a separate site for wrestling followers.
Bravo, OG Steve!
Agreed
I can’t even find a place to discuss a Soap or make a comment, and now we have another site about wrestling?
Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Kristen Locates an Alive Sophia, How Much Does Rita Know About the Birth of Dominic Marino?

Next week, expected surprises and schemes on Days of our Lives. In official spoilers for episodes streaming on Peacock from October 5-9, it looks like Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has hunted down a very much alive Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), while Marlena (Deidre Hall) admits a deeply concerning confession to her daughter Belle (Martha Madison), and more.
As previously reported, Tajh Bellow (ex-TJ Ashford, General Hospital) is stepping in for one day for Tyler Joseph Andrews in the role of Theo Carver and will share scenes with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), where Theo finally agrees to go along with Gabi’s plan, after she offered him a job.
Meanwhile, Gabi may have her hands full with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) whose big win in Monte Carlo may have sparked his gambling addiction … all over again, but Philip reveals her has a plan.

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?
Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?
Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL Preview: Katie Wants Dylan to Sway Zende, Carter Puts Unrelenting Pressure on Steffy

Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, official spoilers and the video teaser for episodes airing September 28 through October 2, have Katie (Heather Tom) making it clear she wants Dylan (Sydney Bullock) to prove herself to her by helping lure Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) over to her fashion house Logan.
If Katie is successful, she would have yet another acquisition from Forrester Creations which would continue to fuel the rivalry between herself and her sister, Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang),
In the video preview, Katie informs Hope (Annika Noelle), “Dylan has been tasked with talking to Zende, and if she wants any kind of acceptance from me, she’d better come through.” Is Hope getting leery of Katie’s machinations, or would she like to see Zende get a chance at showcasing his talents, something he had not been able to do of late at Forrester? If Dylan comes through for Katie, will she accept her son, Will’s (Crew Morrow) relationship with the young woman? Stay tuned.

GUESS WHO THE SURROGATE IS RIDGE?
Meanwhile, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) informs Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that she and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) have found someone to be their donor and surrogate adding that said woman is “remarkable.” But, how would Ridge feel when he learns it’s his daughter, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), who would be the woman giving the couple a child they so desperately want?
What Ridge and Brooke don’t know is that Steffy is already pregnant from her drunken night with Carter, and through Carter’s unrelenting pressure, he wants her to give up the baby she is carrying and give it to Daphne and him to raise as their own.
COERCION CITY
Finn (Tanner Novlan) has already told Steffy she should not be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate, when she tried to broach the lie to her husband. Now, he is out of town at a medical conference, when Carter stops by at the cliff house and Steffy addresses her concerns.
Carter fires back, “We have to do this now, Steffy! We don’t have time!” What will Steffy ultimately do? Go along with Carter’s plan, knowing she feels it’s wrong and wrong for her? Time will tell!

General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Secrets Exposed!

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers, and the latest teaser video, indicate that the truth is about to come out on many fronts which could put several Port Charles residents in harm’s way, but who will double-cross whom?
First, Nina has been carted away by the WSB, after she is the prime suspect in the disappearance and possible murder of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Now it appears that her daughter Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is willing to do anything to find her mother. (probably for fear she will somehow implicate Willow!)
Ava (Maura West) meets with Willow at the Metro Court Gardens and informs her, “If Nina is being framed. I may know by whom.” Would Ava risk the ire of Drew (Cameron Mathison), if she throw’s him under the bus and admits he planted Jack’s wallet in Nina’s car, or is she about to accuse someone else to protect him?
Meanwhile, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Justine’s (Nazneen Contractor) romance is about to become public, or at least fall into the wrong hands! The two are being spied on while making out in a dark location thinking they are alone. Next, Ava’s voice is heard saying, He had to go down!” Is she talking about Sonny who she had teamed with Drew to take down? Cut to Sonny telling Ric (Rick Hearst) “Let ’em try.”
Finally, the action turns to Pentonville, where Curtis (Donnell Turner) is in a dangerous situation, when outside his cell, another inmate suggests to him, “Find a reason not to be in your cell after lunch.” Later, that man and two others, enter the cell as Sidwell (Carlo Rota) just reads a book, as he looks concerned as the men encircle him. Does Curtis come to the rescue of Sidwell? Stay tuned.
