WWE ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’: CM Punk, Jade Cargill New Champs; John Cena Announces Tournament to Decide His Last Opponent
Two new champions were crowned this weekend during WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event streaming live on Peacock, while John Cena made a heart-stopping announcement as to just who and how he plans to figure out who he will wrestle in his final match on his retirement tour at the December 13th edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event from Washington D.C.
On the November 1st, SMNE, the four-card matchups served to resolve several key issues. Chief among them, who will be the WWE World’s Heavyweight Champion, now that Seth Rollins had to relinquish the title following injuring his shoulder in a match against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, With Rollins slated to be on the shelf for at least five to six more months following shoulder surgery, Saturday showed us how ‘Raw’ and ‘SmackDown’ will reset itself going into 2026.
Most notably, and in the main event, CM Punk defeated Jey Uso for the WWE championship, something that has alluded him ever since his return to the WWE almost two years ago this month, and because of Rollins’ deep-seated vendetta against him kept him from the belt. Clearly, Punk vs. Uso was the best match of the night, and “Main Event” Uso, delivered one of his best matches.

Now the question becomes, with no outside interference from The Vision and Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker clearly positioned to be the next big thing, will Punk’s reign come to an end quickly? Meanwhile, does another heartbreaking loss finally cause Jey Uso to snap and this week, he becomes a full-fledged heel on ‘Raw?’ Stay tuned.
JADED
Then, Jade Cargill, who recently made her heel turn, finally defeated Tiffany Stratton to become the new WWE’s Women’s Champion. In a heart-tugging moment, following her victory, Jade made it to ringside where her daughter, husband (former MLB star, Brandon Phillips) and family greeted her with hugs and kisses as the new champ. Time will tell if this sets up the return of her former tag team partner, Bianca Belair, who has been out with injury as her next nemesis and opponent. Since Cargill arrived in WWE from AEW it had everyone buzzing, just how we would eventually get Bianca vs. Jade. Could it be in the works for WrestleMania 42?
RHODES RETAINS
In the opening bout, the Undisputed WWE Champion, the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes, faced the challenger in Drew McIntrye. Going into the match from ‘SmackDown,’ Cody agreed to McIntrye’s stipulation that he could be counted out or disqualified, and if so, the belt changes hands in favor of McIntrye.

Throughout the match, McIntrye did everything he could do try to make the ref disqualify Cody, or throw him outside the ring and smash him through tables to ensure he couldn’t beat the ten count back in the ring. In the end, it all failed. Rhodes remained world champion. Some had hopes that Rhodes’ run would end with a shocking win by McIntrye, but at this point, this feud needs to be over and both wrestlers need to move on to new feuds and opponents to freshen things up. Where’s Randy Orton? BTW.
DIRTY AND OH-SO-CLEVER
Dirty Dom Mysterio found a way to retain his Intercontinental Championship in his triple-threat match for his title against Rusev and Penta. Towards the end of the match Mysterio had grabbed timekeeper’s hammer and as he brought back into the ring, Penta grabbed it, and while attempting to hit Mysterio, he plummeted Rusev instead. That opened the door for Dirty Dom to execute a flog splash off the top rope on to Rusev to retain, and the uber-clever Mysterio’s title run continues.
Towards the end of the show, announcers Michael Cole and Wade Barrett teased an announcement from the GOAT, 17-time champ, John Cena. And when the pre-taped package featuring Cena was played it was a stunner! Since for months everyone has been wondering who Cena wants as the final opponent in his career in his final match of his retirement tour on SNME on December 13th, he revealed there will be a 16-man tournament to decide who it will be.
WHO WILL GO DOWN IN WRESTING HISTORY WITH JOHN CENA?
Cena hared thee will be legends, rising stars and even competitors from outside of the WWE universe. Those competing in the tournament will be from across all of WWE’s brand’s including Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown and NXT. However, John absolutely emphasized that the tourney would also be open to any wrestler who can earn a spot, even those who don’t currently work in the WWE.

That opens the door for a logical explanation of how, if the WWE can, and if it chooses to pull it off, bring back Adam “Edge” Copeland (who has been in AEW) to be Cena’s final opponent and he would go out facing one of the greatest foes of his legendary career.
The opening round begins on November 10 when ‘Raw’ emanates from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, near Cena’s hometown. The plan for now is for ‘Raw’ to feature eight of the sixteen competitors. Each match will be a single elimination and the winners move on to the next round which will be held on ‘SmackDown’ and then to NXT and so forth. If Cena’s tournament plays out well, it could be one of the most exciting moments in WWE history, especially if we get several surprise entrants along the way.
Overall, this rendition of Saturday Night’s Main Event could have used more excitement than just the announcement of how we will find out who John Cena will wrestle in his last match. The matches were sometime lackluster, although there were some bright spots. We grade it with a C.
So, how would you grade Saturday Night’s Main Event? Happy that CM Punk defeated Jey Uso, and Jade Cargill bested Tiffany Stratton? Who do you think will wind up to be John Cena’s final opponent at the end of the tournament? Weigh-in via the comment section below, but first check out some of the moments from last night’s card on Peacock.
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.
