WWE Royal Rumble 2025: Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair Punch Their Tickets to WrestleMania 41
Now you can “Yeet” your way to WrestleMania 41, after Saturday night’s thrilling Men’s Royal Rumble which saw “Main Event” Jey Uso emerging as the shocking victor in a stacked men’s lineup that was to be once-in-a-lifetime for the WWE universe.
Over 70,000 plus strong packed Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana to witness the four card matches, which included: the Men and Women’s rumble, Cody Rhodes defending his Universal Championship in a ladder match against former-friend-turned-bitter enemy, Kevin Owens, plus the WWE Tag Team Championships were on the line when DIY (Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano) faced the former champs, the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). The premium live event was also streamed on Peacock.
Let’s take a look at what went down starting with the main event, the Men’s Royal Rumble. In order of how they entered were: Rey Mysterio, Penta, Chad Gable, Carmelo Hayes, Santos Escobar, Otis, Bron Breakker, Akira Tozawa (but after a sneak attack by Carmelo Hayes was replaced by You Tube star, IShowSpeed), Sheamus, Jimmy Uso, Andrade, Jacob Fatu, Ludwig Kaiser, The Miz, Joe Hendry, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Finn Bálor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Jey Uso, AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, John Cena, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Dominik Mysterio, Sami Zayn, Damian Priest, LA Knight, and finally Logan Paul.

IT’S AN UCEY RUMBLE
Late in the men’s rumble, you had a stunning array of superstars all in the ring at the same time, and all who were considered “favorites” to win the rumble and earn their spot at a shot at a title at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas in April. The stars aligned to have Jey Uso, Logan Paul, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk all facing off with one another as the crowd went nuts!
Suddenly, Punk eliminated Rollins and Reigns over the top rope, but moments later Logan Paul would dump Punk out, igniting a sudden rage in Rollins that saw him unload on the OTC with a double Stomp and another right on the steel steps. That left,Uso, Cena (who has started his 2025 farewell tour) and Paul. Shortly thereafter, Paul was done for the night, leaving Jey and John to go at it. Eventually, it was Jey who survived all 29 other entrants and to the delight of “Yeeters” everywhere, Uso will now get his shot presumably at Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.

Some of the other can’t-miss moments in the men’s rumble included:
*Luchadors Rey Mysterio Jr. and Penta leading off the rumble as entrants #1 and #2
*Jacob Fatu tearing through the competitors for a hot several minutes of action
*Bron Breakker spearing IShowSpeed
*The return of AJ Styles
*TNA Champ, Joe Hendry appearing and battling in the rumble.
*Dominik Mysterio being the next man up after the thrilling Cena, Punk and Rollins entrances, naming him Mr. “Buzzkill.”
*Logan Paul jumping over from the ring to the announce table without landing his feet on the floor to avoid elimination.

ALL HAIL TO THE QUEEN
As predicted, Charlotte Flair made her triumphant return from her career-sidelining knee injury to win the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble.
In order of 1-30 entrances, the women’s rumble shook out like this: Iyo Sky, Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez, Lyra Valkyria, Chelsea Green, B-Fab, Ivy Nile, Zoey Stark, Lash Legend, Bianca Belair, Shayna Baszler, Bayley, Sonya Deville, Maxxine Dupri, Naomi, Jaida Parker, Piper Niven, Natalya, Jordynne Grace, Michin, Alexa Bliss, Zelina Vega, Candice LeRae, Stephanie Vaquer, Trish Stratus, Raquel Rodriguez, Charlotte Flair, Giulia, Nia Jax, and Nikki Bella.

The women’s rumble provided the pop of the night with the return of Alexa Bliss, which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Bliss was shocker, when it has been believed she was at a contract negotiation impasse with the WWE about money. However, looks like everything is all hunky-dory now! In addition to Bliss, the rumble saw the return of Hall-of-Famers, Trish Stratus and Nikki Bella. While at first, the crowd was happy to see Nikki, by the time she was doing her “push-ups in the ring schtick” their were audible boos.

At the end of the rumble, it was Charlotte and Roxanne Perez who were the last two standing. In fact, Perez broke an all-time women’s rumble record by staying in it for one hour, seven minutes and 47 seconds until Flair sent her over the top rope.
DIY vs. MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS WITH SURPRISE INTERFERENCE
This 2 out of 3 falls tag match for the titles was lackluster; especially after the quick pin fall for DIY in fall 1. Then, eventually after the Motor City Machine Guns evened the score 1 to 1, the whole thing fell apart when two men disguised in hoodies showed up at ringside.

The first, distracted the referee only to reveal himself to be The Street Profits, Angelo Dawkins, who attacked (with his crutch) the Motor City Machine Guns and cost them the win. However, after DIY celebrates, the Street Profits (Dawkins with Montez Ford) turn on them and attack Ciampo and Gargano.

CODY RHODES BEATS KEVIN OWENS BUT BODILY HARM WAS ALL AROUND
Following Rhodes vs Owens, where it looked like KO had received the worst beating of the two, it was revealed by WWE commentator Jackie Redmond (during the post-show), that Cody sustained a few injuries and was unable to talk to the press. What we do know in watching this ladder match is that these two veterans really put their body through some serious moves, which kept this at a fast-paced clip.
Rhodes delivered a back body drop onto the edges of a ladder and the fisherman buster delivered by Owens to Rhodes onto a ladder hit the American Nightmare’s head! The match showcased that Cody has aggression and can take drastic measures to fight back, which could finally give Rhodes more of an edge as the champion instead of the PG version.

One question remains, Sami Zayn! He came to the aid of his best friend, Kevin Owens, after he was cut open on his head and left in a heap outside the ring. For a moment, you didn’t know whether he would turn on Cody or Owens. Is a heel turn forthcoming from Sami to join his friend Owens as true tag team threats to the championship? After all, they previously won the titles as ‘babyfaces’ back at WrestleMania 39.

The correlation between this interest and soap operas is hard to find, unless the idea is that soap viewers also enjoy sweaty, scantily clad men with large muscles. On either front, the writing is absolutely wretched.
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.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES
The episode was laced with hankie-inducing moments from Jason Thompson, Courtney Hope, Mark Grossman and Billy Flynn, who each delivered, to bring this story so much heart and history. There is plenty of Emmy material within for next year for these four.
You can check out the final moments of yesterday’s episode where Billy meets his daughter for the first time, followed by the final shot of Adam at the door below, followed by our live chat replay with Y&R stars, Jason Thompson and Courtney Hope which streamed immediately after this episode aired in all timezones on the Michael Fairman Channel.

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.
