WWE ‘Saturday Night’s Main Event’: Cody Rhodes Retains Title Under Questionable Circumstances Leading to a Surprise Attack
In the premiere of the revitalized Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWE teamed once again with NBC to bring pro wrestling back to network television in a series of upcoming broadcasts; the first of which aired last night on Saturday, December 14th and streamed on Peacock.
And a throwback it was; emanating from Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Long Island, which was the site of the first Saturday Night’s Main Event in 1985. Throughout the two-hour card, the WWE and NBC brought back the red white and blue ring ropes, classic WWE logo on the turnbuckles, the referees in bowties, retro 80’s graphics and video packages by design. In addition, the great slo-mo replay of a major move by one of the wrestlers right before a commercial break, plus shining a light on WWE legends Jimmy Hart, Tito Santana, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and Koko B. Ware, who were seated at ringside.
On the announce team front, the recent addition of Joe Tessitore to the WWE, has the voice reminiscent of the late, great Gene Okerlund, during Saturday Night’s Main Event’s hey day, plus the return of Jesse “The Body” Ventura, gave the show it’s retro feel. Later, Ventura on color commentary (with the returning Pat McAfee and WWE legendary announcer, Michael Cole) was also pretty stellar. Jesse has a penchant for rooting for the heels and explaining to us how they were wronged, and he made sense doing it making viewers at home seeing the logic of the bad guys.

Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens
The main event featuring Universal Champion, Cody Rhodes squaring off with former friend-turned-enemy, Kevin Owens, with the return of the Winged Eagle belt, left the WWE Universe with more questions than answers! Here’s why!
During a pivotal point in the match, things had swung Owens’ way. When it looked like he has the championship won, he had knocked out referee Charles Robinson while countering a Cross Rhodes. So, there was no one to count to three after he delivered a Stunner to Rhodes. As Kevin laid atop Rhodes, the crowd counted to almost ten before a second official raced down the ring ramp, and by the time he got there, Rhodes had kicked out so the match continued.
However, the second ref would go down this time by Rhodes on a Cody Cutter that was meant for Owens, but he ducked and knocked out the official. A frustrated Owens threw Rhodes into the ring post and went to the outside of the ring and grabbed a chair. He brought said chair into the ring. Rhodes avoided the chair shot and the chair went down inside the ring. Next, Rhodes delivered a Cody Cutter but used the chair to punctuate the move so Owens landed on it, thus allowing him to retain the title, when the initial ref came to and delivered the three count. Cody actually looked at the chair before doing his finishing move and then tossed it out of the ring so the ref wouldn’t see it in heel fashion.

On television, the show ended with Rhodes celebrating in the ring. However, moments later things got ugly and it was also captured by social media and the WWE of course. As Cody was thanking the fans for coming out to the venue tonight, Owens snuck back into the ring and attacked the champ. Owens then delivered the banned move, the package pile driver. As the officials and a stretcher came to the ring. Owens picked up the belt and stood on top of Cody signifying his belief that the title should have been his.
Next, Owens walks off with the Winged Eagle title belt, as Paul “Triple H” Levesque came out and the two got into a confrontation over Kevin’s right to take the belt and for how he injured Rhodes. So where does the story go from here? Does this make Owens more unhinged as he feels more wronged than ever? Will Cody be ‘injured’ and unable to defend his title? Is this the beginning of a Rhodes heel turn? Stay tuned.

Chelsea Green receives her flowers
Sometimes being a heel makes you very popular with the WWE universe and on this night, Chelsea Green, one of the most entertaining women on the roster, became the first ever Women’s United States champion beating Michin in the finals.
Best ring garb of the night, also went to Green for having mini-Chelsea-like emojis all over her outfit! In the match, Piper Niven, Green’s tag partner, also helped her distract her opponent. In the end, Chelsea delivered an avalanche Unprettier to win the title to a big pop. Niven lifted Green up on her shoulder in the ring to celebrate the moment as Chelsea is now a champ! It should be a fun ride for the next several months for those women chasing this belt, with Green’s antics, personality, and in-ring moves front and center.

More Championship Belts Retained
No belts legally changed hands on the premiere of Saturday Night’s Main Event and that included the triple-threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship, featuring champion Gunther vs. Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest. The match for the most part featured sensational high flying moves from Balor, Priest hitting his Razor’s Edge on the champ, but the champ surviving it all. Gunther once again comes up victorious!
In the Women’s World Championship match, Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky showcased incredible moves with Sky delivering her moonsault multiple times. Throughout the match, the crowed was behind Iyo. However, at a critical point, Morgan got her knees up and quickly turned it into an Oblivion to finish off the “Genius of the Sky.”
The ref raised Morgan’s hand in victory as she retained her championship, but Liv’s nose was noticeably bleeding after getting what looked like a knee to the face earlier in the match from Sky. As she and her cronies, Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriquez, were walking on the ramp towards backstage, Rhea Ripley showed up and confronted Morgan, setting up what looks to be a title shot in the near future for the former champ.

Drew McIntrye Gets Clean Win
The opening bout of Saturday Night’s Main Event, featured Drew McIntyre who wants to take out all members of the Bloodline. So, he started on this occasion with the honoree Uce, Sami Zayn. Both wrestlers put on an amazing offenses that featured moonsaults, Helluva kicks, and Claymores. In the end, the Scottish Warrior delivered his patented Claymore at just the right time for Zayn to get caught in it and lose the match.

Overall, we give grade the show/card a B, and look forward to the next one on January 25th from San Antonio, Texas airing on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS
“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
