WWE SmackDown Season Premiere: Roman Reigns Returns and Spoils LA Knight’s Victory & Comes Face-to-Face with Cody Rhodes
In a locked and loaded season premiere of WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox, big names, returns, new storylines and unresolved ones were the name of the game. The opener for the 2023-2024 television season did not disappoint.
SmackDown kicked off with 16-time World Champ John Cena coming to the ring, but he was quickly interrupted by the highly-anticipated return of the WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns accompanied by special counsel, Paul Heyman, and the Bloodline.
However, Cena paved the way for LA Knight to emerge on to the scene for a showdown between Reigns and the Megastar. The opening segment set up the night’s main event between Solo Sikoa and Knight.
Speaking of the main event, Knight pinned Sikoa but as he celebrated his victory, Roman Reigns came out of nowhere and delivered a spear, laying out Knight. This further cemented LA’s ascension to being a top star in the company as it looks like we are heading to a Reigns vs. LA Knight “Yeah” title match shortly!
Triple H came to the ring for another key reset for SmackDown. He introduced Nick Aldis as the new GH of the brand, while naming Adam Pearce the sole GM of Monday Night Raw. However, Dominik Mysterio interrupted this bit of business, only for the crowd to drown out everything he says, as Triple H, even gave Dom Dom another mic to try, but to no avail. It was a funny gag and keeps the heat on Mysterio.
In addition, Triple H and Aldis revealed the wrestler coming over to the blue brand in exchange for Jey Uso was none other than Kevin Owens. With that, KO’s music hit and out to the ring he came. Now the question becomes, does his friend and tag team partner, Sami Zayn stay at Raw? Are the two going to have issues once again with their friendship and start another feud 3.0?
Backstage, Nick Aldis tells Charlotte Flair that she deserves another shot at the WWE Women’s Championship after what went down in her triple threat match at Fastlane. Flair had pinned Asuka, but due to interference from Bayley from Damage CTRL, the referee never saw it, thus, Iyo Sky retained the title. Aldis made a match between Sky and Flair for next week’s SmackDown.
Just then, Charlotte comes face to face with WWE’s newest superstar acquisition, Jade Cargill. As Triple H introduces them, you can see that there is already bad blood brewing between them, but also an air of respect. Is Jade going to interfere in next week’s match between Charlotte and Iyo marking her WWE debut?
Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso defended their WWE Universal Tag Team Championships against Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. In the end, the ‘American Nightmare’ and Main Event’ Uso picked up the win, but it was what happened after that has the WWE Universe buzzing.
Following the match, as they made their way to the ramp and backstage, Cody and Jey were confronted by Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. Then, the moment of all moments occurred. Reigns and Rhodes had a stare down which Nick Aldis had to get in the middle of the two to ensure nothing would happen, at least for tonight. Is this finally the beginning going to set the stage for Cody to ‘finish the story,’ and get his second shot at the Universal Championship from Reigns, next year at WrestleMania 40? Stay tuned.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.

So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with?
