WWE King and Queen of The Ring 2024: Cody Rhodes Defeats Logan Paul to Retain Title; Liv Morgan Wins Women’s Title, Gunther and Nia Jax Crowned
On what seemed on paper as a probable underwhelming Peacock and WWE premium live event, was far from it. Emanating from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and streaming early in the day or morning the U.S., the 2024 edition of King and Queen of the Ring set up some major storylines heading into SummerSlam in August and even before then.
The main event saw the Undisputed Universal WWE champion, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes battle United States Champion, Logan Paul. But here was the catch, after manipulation by “The Maverick” and his “team”, only Rhodes’ belt was on the line.

“I’M CODY RHODES, BITCH”
In the lead up, Paul surrendered his brass knuckles to ring announcer, Michael Cole, so he couldn’t use them, but as predicted, there was more than one pair and more than one way for Paul to get the knucks into the ring, thanks to his entourage, led by Jeff his manager at ringside.
Paul punched Rhodes in the ribs with them. Later, Rhodes accidentally knocked the referee out thus when he had Logan beaten with a three-count following a Cross Rhodes, no one was there to count three. Next, Paul delivered a low blow and was just about to use the brass knuckles again. All of a sudden at ringside, guest announcer, Saudi Arabian actor Ibrahim Al Hajjaj held on to Paul’s foot and kept him from punching out Rhodes.
Cody then had the opening he needed to deliver three Cross Rhodes and after the final one, he says to Paul, “I’m Cody Rhodes, Bitch!” and the rest is history. Rhodes retains the biggest prize in the WWE.

LIV MORGAN’S REVENGE TOUR CONTINUES
The opening bout saw “The Man” Becky Lynch defend the WWE Women’s Championship against Liv Morgan, who has grown more nasty of late. After coming in second on three various occasions which would have led her to title shot, she has managed to secure one here. But not before, injuring then champion, Rhea Ripley and sidelining her.
However, Dominik Mysterio played into the outcome of the match. Earlier in the show, Mysterio revealed he flew to Saudi Arabia to ensure that Morgan didn’t leave with Rhea’s championship.

During the back and forth match between Becky and Liv, Mysterio suddenly appeared at ringside when Lynch had Morgan in a Dis-Arm-Her submission hold which ultimately distracted her. Later, he throws chair into the ring for Lynch to use. However, she started arguing with Dirty Dom, and just then. Liv took advantage of the situation and hit a DDT on the chair and then her Oblivion maneuver and it was lights out for Becky. Liv Morgan became a WWE champion for only the second time in her career.
KING GUNTHER AND QUEEN NIA
With the Q&K winner’s getting a title shot at SummerSlam, Gunther bested Randy “The Viper” Orton in what was a grueling match. However, the ending is marred in controversy. Gunther pinned Randy Orton after kicking out of on RKO because he punched the “injured” knee of Orton, which happened at the hands of the Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown.
From the camera angle, it was clear that Orton’s left shoulder was not down on the mat, so it appeared like a mess-up. However, it seems odd that Gunther made no effort to ensure the other shoulder was down, leading one to believe a rematch or a fatal three-way may be on the horizon. Triple H took to social media afterwards and said the referee’s decision stands. So where will this lead? Stay-tuned.

Nia Jax beat Lyra Valkerie to become your new ‘Queen’, even though the young upstart delivered a strong performance. However, Jax was just too big and too savvy. When Lyra attemped to flip under Jax for a powerbomb off the top rope, Nia was able to gather her footing on the second rope and slammed herself upon Valkerie, butt down, onto her chest When Jax sat down on top of Valkerie it was with arms-folded for the victory.

After Triple H gave Jax the ‘Queen of the Ring’ crown, Nia taunted the crowd as did Gunther when he was crowned ‘King.’ Looks like it could be Nia vs, Bayley at SummerSlam, and as for Gunther, he said he wanted to go for the WWE Championship which is currently held by Damian Priest. But for how long? Triple H announced that Drew McIntrye is medically cleared to face Priest in Drew’s home country at Clash at the Castle in just a few weeks for that very championship.

SAMI ZAYN SAUDI ARABIA’S HERO
The hometown crowd in Jeddah was all about Sami Zayn who hails from the Middle East. Zayn was defending his Intercontinental title against Chad Gable with Otis at ringside and Bronson Reed. The match had plenty of heat from the crowd. Things broke down late in the match when Gable wanted Otis to clothesline Zayn. Otis hesitated, so when he finally decided to do what Gable said, Zayn ducked out of the way and Gable got the brunt of it, leaving the former tag partners at massive odds. That allowed, Zayn to pin Bronson and retain his championship.
OVERALL
The matches were solid. So, we are giving this PLE an A, with the best match of the night Cody vs. Logan, and Gunther getting a title shot he deserves, shoulders pinned down of Orton’s, or not!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Katie Stands Up to Brooke, ‘I Have Spent My Entire Life Sacrificing My Happiness for Yours. But No More!’

On Thursday, October 15 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Heather Tom continues to rack up scenes for her 2027 Daytime Emmy reel after Katie lays the smackdown on Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) in a boiling over point in their sisterly feud.
In story, Brooke has learned that Zende (Delon de Metz) has defected from Forrester Creations and come to work for Katie at warring fashion house Logan. After she confronts her sister, for what Brooke views as another betrayal, Katie shows that she will no longer be stepped on and over by her sister.
During the argument, Katie points out (and we are glad that she did), that Brooke previously disowned her from the family. She told Katie she was no longer welcome at the Forrester mansion and along with their sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis), kicked her to the curb.

KATIE WON’T BACK DOWN
Fast-forward to yesterday’s B&B, and here was the pointed dialog delivered by Katie to Brooke: “I’m not going to apologize for Logan’s success. I’m not going to apologize for building a company and a brand practically overnight. And if Forrester is really on the ropes, then maybe you should look internally at how you’re treating your talent,” says Katie. She adds, “Sounds to me like you’re not running a very good business. Because that’s what this is, Brooke. It’s business.”
Brooke fires back, “No, Katie. This is more than business. This is a personal vendetta against me, and it’s gone too far. I don’t like looking at you and thinking that I don’t know my sister. I don’t like that feeling. What about you? Don’t you want this war to end?”
Appalled, Katie tells Brooke, “You want to end the war? You want to stop fighting and come together as sisters, right? You want to stop fighting and come together as sisters, right? Where have I heard those words?”
TOSSING A LOGAN OUT OF THE FAMILY
Just then, Katie reminds Brooke she came to set things right with her months ago only to be thrown out of the family. Katie tells Brooke, “Oh, yeah. I remember I said them to you the night you told me that I was no longer your family … that I was no longer your sister.”
A defiant Katie tells off Brooke, “You barge in. You’re ranting about Zende and how I’m attacking Forrester or attacking you. Well, how many times have you attacked me? Huh? I don’t have to take this anymore. I don’t have to be victim to your emotional manipulation. I have spent my entire life sacrificing my happiness for yours. But no more!”
As Brooke is left reeling and in tears, Katie delivers the final blow to their relationship as they knew it. “You think that I should talk Hope (Annika Noelle) and Zende into going back to Forrester? Why should I do that? I’m not giving them up. I’m not giving up on Zende. I’m not giving up Hope. I’m not giving up my name. I am not backing down. Are you listening to me, Brooke? Are you hearing me? Because I will never back down!”
You can catch the aforementioned scene featuring Heather Tom and Katherine Kelly Lang below.
Now weigh-in: Do you feel Katie is completely justified in everything she said to Brooke? Do you want Katie to crumble the dysfunctional house of Forrester Creations? Should Heather Tom just get ready for another Emmy come next year, and heck, she might even win this year, since she is nominated for a completely different storyline for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmys Awards, which would make her the winningest daytime actress of all-time!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke Confronts Katie On Her Vendetta Against Her and Claims, ‘It Breaks My Heart’

The feud between the Logan sisters continues to escalate after Katie (Heather Tom) once again gain another employee acquisition from a former disgruntled Forrester Creations designer.
During the October 14 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Zende (Delon de Metz) along with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) show up at Logan. Zende informs a stunned Hope (Annika Noelle), Katie, Will (Crew Morrow) and Deke (Harrison Cone), that he quit Forrester and would like to join them. Katie and Hope are thrilled. Will is more impressed than ever with Dylan.
Back at Forrester Creations, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) walks into the CEO office where Eric (John McCook) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) inform her that Zende quit and has gone to work for Katie. The three of them realize things are changing within their company because of Katie, but refuse to look at their part in their own implosion!

BROOKE VS. KATIE ROUND 10
Now angered, Brooke hightails it to Logan to confront her sister. Ready for Brooke to come at her, she tells her sister that she offered Zende an opportunity and he took it. He was being under-valued at Forrester.
Brooke fires back that Katie lied to him, just like she did to Hope. She claims Katie is trying to build Forrester 2.o to spite her! Katie is not deterred by Brooke. She tells her sister to look around – that this is what she and Hope are doing – building a new company.
Continuing on her rant, Brooke says she feels stabbed in the back by her own sister, and her daughter hasn’t help with that feeling. Hope just stands there. Brooke tells Katie that they are truly suffering over at Forrester. Business is not good. She demands, “It has to stop!”
Katie snarks back that this is just business. However, Brooke throws down on her sister, arguing that this is a personal vendetta against her. “It’s revenge,” declares Brooke, and, “It breaks my heart.”
But, does it truly break Brooke’s heart? Is she just saying that to save Forrester from losing any more design talent to Logan? Do you hope Katie pays Brooke back for going after Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) years ago and always talking down to her?
Now, let us know via the comment section how you want the sisterly feud to come to a conclusion. Do you want Katie to successfully take down Brooke and Forrester Creations … or Brooke to take down all of Katie’s hopes and dreams? Weigh-in!
