WWE ‘Monday Night Raw’: Gunther Gloats He Made John Cena Tap Out; Masked Man Revealed as Austin Theory
After the tap out that broke hearts around the world, and left many bewildered following the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event on Peacock, the WWE universe was wondering just what would be the reaction and the upshot of “The Ring General” Gunther’s victory over John Cena in the GOAT’s final match of his retirement tour.
They got their answer straightaway on last night’s December 15 edition of Netflix’s Monday Night Raw. The show opened with a video recap of Cena’s last match, where in the end he tapped out (which Cena had not done in 20 years), and let’s not forget, Cena’s motto was always, “Never Give Up.”
The controversial ending, in which Cena seems to smile while being in a sleeper hold before tapping out, had some fans and pundits viewing it as a poetic, full-circle moment for the “John Cena” character as he rides off into the sunset, while others were furious that he would leave his in-ring career with a devastating loss.

Now as Raw began from Hershey, Pennsylvania, it marked the turning of the page in the story, and the elevation to even greater heights for Gunther. As expected, Gunther walked out to open the show and was promptly showered in boos. Soaking it in and laughing in the face of the camera and the fans, he only had a a few words when he grabbed the mic, “I did as promised! I made Cena give up and tap out ‘like a little bitch.”
Gunther then basked in all the heat the fans threw at him as he stood on the announce table and threw up his arms. After leaving the ring to head back up the ring ramp, he decided to turn back around and pose one more time in the ring, which he did a few times continuing to brag he made John Cena tap out. This worked exactly liked the WWE had hoped; that by having Gunther end the career of John Cena by defeating the 17x champ, he would become the most-ha
Next, the cameras followed Gunther backstage where he insulted a few WWE Superstars on his way out. GM Adam Pearce told Gunther to get out and go find the exit because he was done for the night. Now outside, AJ Styles was standing in front of him before Gunther got in his car and left the arena. Thus, are we setting up AJ Styles (as retribution for Cena) and Gunther? To be continued.

Throughout the episode, Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker were seen backstage in the “Vision” dressing room discussing the masked man, who just seemingly comes out of nowhere to save the day for the team with a Seth Rollins patented “Stomp,” or some type of interference, since helping the team win Survivor Series War Games just a month ago.
Heyman claims to the “Vision” that he has no idea who the masked man is, and that who cares? He is helping them out, and that the guys shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. This sets up what would go down in the main event between Logan Paul and Rey Mysterio.
During the match, after Heyman handed Paul his brass knuckles, Mysterio was able to counter and the “knucks” ended up on the ring apron. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker started heading to the ring, but out of nowhere, CM Punk showed up with a chair to shoo them away from interfering in the match.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the masked man showed up yet again and hit Mysterio with the “Stomp” while the referee was distracted by Paul Heyman, allowing Logan to hit his splash for the three-count. CM Punk showed up in the ring albeit too late, and the masked man ran up into the arena stands where he finally revealed himself to be, as most everyone predicted, a returning, Austin Theory. That distraction allowed Bron Breakker to hit a massive spear on Punk, who he hoped to neutralize before their big match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the January 5th edition of Monday Night Raw.
Now below, take a look at Gunther being literally boo’d out of the building, followed by the unmasking of Austin Theory.
Then let us know, do you think the WWE did right by having John Cena tap out to Gunther, in order for The Ring General to now get this massive heat as a heel? Are you glad that the masked man turned out to be Austin Theory, or were you hoping for a last minute swerve or surprise? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
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.

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.
