WWE SATURDAY NIGHT’S MAIN EVENT: Cody Rhodes and CM Punk Victorious with Help from Nick Aldis, Roman Reigns and Jalen Brunson Rule the Big Apple

WWE returned to its home, the Big Apple, New York City for the July 18 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event streaming on Peacock headlined by a blockbuster tag team match featuring CM Punk and Cody Rhodes against Gunther and Sami Zayn.
The bout had an added stipulation: if Punk and Rhodes can co-exist and win the match, they will continue as planned to face each other at SummerSlam, where Rhodes has the chance to win the WWE Undisputed Championship from Punk. However, if they lose, Gunther and Zayn would make it a fatal four-way.
Being held at Madison Square Garden, the night was to be heralded return of Danhausen to New York City since he uncursed the New York Knicks and became a cultural phenom during the NBA team’s title run; where they captured the championship for the first time in 53 years.
Also, the show was going to close with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns alongside Knicks playoffs MVP Jalen Brunson for a special acknowledgment ceremony. Let’s take a look at what happened when the smoke cleared at one of the better SNME’s delivered by the WWE over the past year.

Undisputed WWE champion CM Punk and Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn and Gunther
This star-studded match-up literally had a fantastic fast and frenetic pace which was great to see from all four men. Throughout the match, chants of “this is awesome” came from the audience in attendance, especially when after much high flying (especially from Cody Rhodes), the four laid spent flat out on the mat for what was a breather before the match’s final moments, leaving the drama to anyone’s guess at the finish and who would be the title picture at SummerSlam.
After referee Charles Robinson took a bump and was taken out, Gunther grabbed Punk’s title belt and clocked Rhodes in the head with it. As he was pinning Rhodes, he called for a new referee. As one came out from the back to deliver the three count, suddenly, he was pulled out by Nick Aldis (SmackDown GM, who has been feuding with Gunther) and yanked by his leg to the floor. Next, Aldis hit Gunther with the title belt, allowing Punk to deliver a Go to Sleep while Rhodes pinned the Ring General to secure the pin..
However, things got intense between Punk and Rhodes while after celebrating their victory in the ring, upon Punk making his entrance, he “accidentally” hit Cody in the face with his belt. Later, Rhodes came at Punk in a backstage segment that went viral. Leading the WWE Universe to ponder; Is Punk turning heel? Is Cody? Stay tuned as now the heat starts to build for their championship match-up in two weeks at SummerSlam in Minneapolis.

No Disqualification Match: Danhausen vs. JD McDonagh
Minihausens and New York Knicks center/forward Karl-Anthony Towns gave an assist to the very nice, very evil Danhausen so he could defeat Judgement Day’s JD McDonagh with interference from Dominik Mysterio.
During most of the match, McDonagh was manhandling Danhausen, but when the NYC favorite was able to get up the ring ramp to his “Cloning Machine” and putting his cat in it … out came Towns! When the Knicks favorite made his way to the ring, it got a huge pop from the crowd, which led to Town chokeslamming Mysterio through a table, while Danhausen delivered his Triple D (Danhausen Death Drop) to JD for the win.

Bayley vs, Lyra Valkryia
Lyra Valkyria has gone off the rails and this match against Bayley, her former idol, tag-team partner and friend, illustrated fully her new heel character who has seemingly lost her marbles.
Early in the match though, Bayley’s elbow struck Lyra in the nose and she may have broken it and was bleeding during the entire match due to the mishap.
This unhinged version of Valkyria defeated Bayley, and then continued to give her a beat down after the match throwing Bayley into the ring post and then the steel steps before security and officials finally got her to back off.

Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Paige and Brie Bella vs. Fatal Influence
This was the least interesting match of the night, but due to interference from Jacy Jayne, Fatal Influence’s Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid are the new Women’s Tag Champs.
As to what happens now with Paige and Bella remains to be seen. Do they split and have a feud since Paige’s comeback was initially as a fill-in for Brie’s sister, Nikki Bella, in a tag team championship match, who was out with an injury? More soon.

Jalen Brunson and Roman Reigns Face off with Seth Rollins and Tyrese Haliburton
In the closing segment of the show, the OTC Roman Reigns and NBA MVP Jalen Brunson took to the ring at Madison Square Garden together with ones to the sky for the Tribal Chief. Once Reigns took the mic, it was all about celebrating and acknowledging Brunson for giving the Knicks their first championship in over five decades.
The moment was topped off by Reigns giving a gift from the WWE to Brunson – his own custom world heavyweight title made of blue leather and custom nameplates with the Knicks colors blue and orange around it.
However, the celebration was interrupted when Seth Rollins music hit and out came Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton who is hated in the Big Apple by Knicks fans. The entrance of Haliburton served as a distraction as Rollins entered the ring and attacked Reigns from behind. However, before Seth could deliver his patented stomp and this time on to a steel chair, Brunson stepped in front of him, protecting the OTC.
That move allowed Reigns to recover and flatten Rollins with his Superman Punch, which led the Visionary hightailing it up the ramp with Haliburton. At the end, Reigns stood tall in the ring with Brunson in tow and got the photo op of the season holding the NBA’s Larry O’Brien Trophy high over his head as the two champs from different worlds had the fans cheering as the show came to its conclusion.
Grade: B+
Take a look at some of the video highlights from last night’s SNME below.
Now weigh-in; what did you think of the latest edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event? Do you think Punk hit Cody purposely in the face with his belt on his way out of the ring? Will one of them turn heel? Did you like the interference of Nick Aldis, which now has to have set up Aldis vs. Gunther at SummerSlam? What about Reigns and Brunson? A cool moment?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Heather Webber Makes a Surprise Return Stunning Trina; Alley Mills Weighs-In on Her Comeback

The Friday, October 30 episode of General Hospital came to a conclusion with a one-two cliffhanger. The first, as Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) finished rehearsing their song at the Cats Eye Lounge, a woman’s feet where seen entering the club.
When the camera panned up it revealed a well-dressed Heather Webber (Alley Mills) applauding and yelling “bravo!” at the two young performers, but with Trina absolutely shocked to see her!
While General Hospital fans knew two-time Daytime Emmy winner was rejoining the show as the supposed reformed “Hook” killer (after cobalt poisoning due to her hip surgery played with her mind), what is Heather’s ‘state of mind’ now?

For months, GH has been teeing up the mystery of who is stalking Trina, with someone adding clippings of Trina to their “obsession” board.
Many viewers have felt that it will wind up being Heather who is seeking revenge on Trina, since Heather’s daughter Esme Prince (Avery Pohl) went overboard a boat and into the Siene in France, and is believed to be dead, after Spencer (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) saved Trina from her.
Speaking with TV Insider about her GH return this fall, Alley Mills shared on her first scenes back: “That was so fun because I love working with Tab, but I’ve never worked with the other kids before. I’ve seen them on TV, but I have never met them before, and they’re really talented, and they definitely got in Heather’s face. And the blessed Shawn Reeves, the wonderful costumer, put me in this fabulous outfit.”

With Heather soon to mix-up with the residents of Port Charles, Mills added that Heather now has some wealth to boot! “It’s been an uphill battle, and she just hopes that people will understand and forgive her,” explains Mills. “But with the wonderful voice of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte (co-head writers, GH and this year’s Daytime Emmy winners for Outstanding Writing in a Daytime Drama), she just has so much spunk.”
Mills added, “I love the way they write her (Heather). She doesn’t really have a ton of boundaries and social awareness and softness. But she just won’t let people get her down. She’s like one of those dolls outside the gas station. You throw them down, and they pop back up. I feel like Heather is kind of like that now, but in Gucci.”
So, were you stunned to see Heather Webber dressed quite elegantly and showing up at the Cat’s Eye Lounge? Do you think that now more than ever Heather is Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section. But first, you can check out when Heather makes her presence now below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Chase and Brook Lynn Sign Divorce Papers; Are You Glad They Ended Their Marriage or Hoped for a Reconciliation?

Any hopes for a last minute reprieve were dashed when filled with sorrow, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers in front of a judge in the Dominican Republic on the Monday, October 26 episode of General Hospital.
The judge asked if they really wanted to go through with this, as a teary-eyed Brook Lynn and Chase both hesitated to sign the court documents. They admit that neither of them wants to get divorced, but they both came to the conclusion that too much mistrust has permeated their relationship, and too much has happened between them to stay married.
With that, Brook Lynn decided to put her pen to paper first. She signs the divorce papers. Next, Chase follows suit. They look at each other with tears in their eyes that their marriage is officially over. When the judge went to filing their divorce papers, Chase and Brook Lynn agreed to split custody of baby Phoebe straight down the line 50/50.

THE END OF THE ROAD
Next, the judge returned and gave each a copy of their paperwork. Chase says to Brook Lynn that he thinks that they should each fly back to Port Charles separately, and that he would take another flight home. Chase says goodbye to Brook Lynn and exits. Now alone looking at the empty room, Brook Lynn utters,“Goodbye, Chase.”
Later in the episode, as Brook Lynn flies back home to Port Charles alone, she listens to the message from Tracy (Jane Elliot) telling her she is doing the right thing by divorcing Chase.
Cut to: an emotional Chase who went to the beach. He looked at his wedding ring. Mourning the loss of his marriage, Chase buried his ring in the sand, at the same time Brook Lynn was removing her wedding ring on the airplane.
The drama won’t stop from here for Brook Lynn, because as teased in the GH video spoilers preview for the week, Jude (Wil Traval) will come calling wanting to see his “daughter,” and potentially staking claim to baby Phoebe! As for Chase, now that he is a free man, will he begin a relationship with his ex-wife, Willow Tait (Katelyn McMullen), with whom he has been completely duped? Stay tuned.
So, were you happy that Brook Lynn and Chase actually ended their marriage? Were you hoping that the two would reconcile at the last minute and realize love can conquer all, or do you think they were being adult about the situation that they couldn’t get out of their own way and feelings to make their union work? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, check out the scenes from Chase and Brook Lynn’s divorce and its aftermath below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Hesitate to Sign Divorce Papers, Elizabeth Reveals Aiden’s Leaving For Paris, Willow Flashes Back to Her Crimes

As the week came to a conclusion on the Friday, October 23 episode of General Hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) wrestled with becoming an empty-nester, while Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Monet (Blythe Howard) conspired to keep Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Ric (Rick Hearst) at legal bay, and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) frozen relationship thawed, but how much?
Let’s take a look! First, in a moment that was written to bring Liz and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) closer, the GH head nurse is wistful over the fact that she just learned that her talented bakery chef son, Aiden, secretly earned his GED and got into a prestigious pastry school in France and to top it off received a scholarship to attend the school.
Liz is concerned that allowing him to go wasn’t the smartest move because of his young age. Dante suggested that maybe it’s her fear of being alone that is causing her to feel hesitant for Aiden to go abroad. He shared a story about the support her received from Olivia when he moved away from home for the first time; that he understood mothers and sons are close, but she needed to let him go build his own life.

After coming to terms with it, she revealed that Aiden is leaving in four days and had to make cupcakes for the Halloween party, Dante offered to help her do the baking. They smile. So, what this means to GH fans? All of Liz sons: Cameron, Jake, Aiden are all now officially off the canvas!
WILLOW VS. LULU
At Miller & Davis, Willow strolls in to meet Monet to go over their strategy in their meeting with Ric and Lulu. While discussing their next move, Willow flashes back to the night she shot Drew (Cameron Mathison) twice in the back, and then later, how she first stuck a needle in his neck to use the paralytic drug that kept him in a locked-in state for months.

When Ric and Lulu arrive, the four end up in a stalemate. Willow refused to drop the lawsuit, and Lulu refused to retract the story on her. Willow’s stance is that Lulu had been manipulated by the Quartermaines, who wanted to take her children away, so Michael can have sole custody of them. Lulu fired back that she was doing her job as an investigative reporter to expose crimes perpetrated by a congresswoman.
Now at an impasse, Ric and Lulu tell Monet and Willow they will see them in court as now a judge will hear the case. Not what Ric wanted that to happen, but now he tells Lulu, they will figure out a way to bring Willow down.
DIVORCE BLUES?
Finally, Chase and Brook Lynn head to the Dominican Republic to get a quickie divorce after how their lawyers dredged up awful things about both of them in Port Charles. While on the plane, the two discuss that they still want each other to be happy.
Once in front of the judge in the Dominican Republic, he asked if the two were mutually consenting to this divorce, but instead, the two sang each others praises.
This left the judge to ask if the two wanted to go through with ending their marriage and he left the room. Later, when he returned with the divorce documents to sign, Chase and Brook Lynn stared at each other hesitating to sign on the dotted line.
So, what do you think will happen next? Will Brook Lynn and Chase end their marriage, or decide to try to make it a go? Is it upsetting to you that all of Elizabeth’s sons are off the canvas? Should the soap recast them all, like they did with Alexis’ daughters and restart the story of these young men? Do you think now will be the time that Willow’s crimes will be publicly exposed, and she will lose her kids and her seat in a congress? Weigh-in via the comment section.
