WWE WrestleMania 39 Night 2: Roman Reigns Retains Title Over Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair’s Entrance Hits Emotional Note, Injuries Dictate the Show Must Go On
WrestleMania 39 continued for its second night on Sunday in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, and the question on everyone’s mind was … could Roman Reigns continue his ‘reign’ as the undisputed WWE Universal Champion, or would this be the night, and would his opponent be the guy, to knock the Tribal Chief off of his Island of Relevancy. The ringside entrances set up the excitement with Reigns’ dramatic theme, first played by a piano concerto before launching into the version where many in the crowd stand and ‘acknowledge’ him.
The “American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes had the comeback story to give him the momentum going in to the WrestleMania headline match. Cody suffered a torn pec, then months of rehab that followed. With his beautiful family and young baby girl at ringside, and being the son of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time, the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, all of this did not prove to be enough to take the belts off of Reigns. For on this night, Reigns with the typical familial interference, remained supreme.

The match was everything you would want: emotions that built and built, close counts, major finishing moves and submission holds, the crowd roaring, but many in the audience and those watching at home thought the ending was a disappointment, after the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink performances in the ring. But it should be noted, while many were rooting for Cody, many in the stands were rooting for Roman. He is, after all, the best of the best. Reigns never breaks character, and he has the wrestling skills to back up being the champ.

Throughout the match, the creatives came up with a few big spots that could have taken the ending in a different direction, namely when the Usos showed up and pounced on Rhodes. But lo and behold, new Tag Champs, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, came to save the day and even Zayn delivered a Helluva Kick on Reigns, which could have been sweet justice and then have Cody finish it with a punctuation mark to score the win over Reigns.

However, it was a big tease! Rhodes went for the victory with father Dusty’s Flip, Flop and Fly and then launching into his Triple Cross Rhodes finisher. However, Reign’s special counsel, Paul Heyman, distracted the referee and that allowed Solo Sikoa, who had been tossed out earlier in the match for his interference, to re-enter the ring, cloaked in a hoodie. Solo delivered a Samoan Spike, which set up Reigns to deliver his signature spear for the win.

But you got to give it up to the WWE! They kept the belts on Reigns making him a further unstoppable force maybe for another year or two, with more story to come between ‘The Bloodline’, and who the WWE ultimately believes is the next guy in line to take down Roman and establish themselves as the next big star.
Let’s get into the other night two highlights and in-ring injuries!
First, the award for the best ring entrance of WrestleMania 39 weekend goes to … Bianca Belair and the Divas of Compton dance troupe! These little girls were mini-EST’s dancing up a storm that warmed the hearts of everyone in attendance. We later learned from an overcome Paul “Triple H” Levesque (in the press conference that followed the night) that the little girl contortionist in the dance troupe lost her mother earlier in the day, and how everyone in the production rallied around her, because she wanted to go out and perform even in the face of a heartbreaking death.

In the RAW Women’s Championship match, many felt it was Asuka and her ‘mists’ time to hold the belt, but Belair proved otherwise winning her third straight WrestleMania. Belair is an elite athlete almost in a class by herself, but we have not seen the last Asuka, who may finally go full heel-mode after taking to social media following her match stating that she is going to turn the women’s division into complete chaos.

Gunther is here to stay, and the Intercontinental Championship that he has held for over 290-days, makes him an imposing threat to make his way to the top of the WWE talent chain. This seismic victory in the banger of the night vs frenemies Sheamus and Drew McIntyre cemented his future.

Throughout the match, there were amazing spots, audible chest slaps, power bombs and ring rope athletics that featured three WWE big men. In the end, Gunther was victorious in a clean win, making it all the more satisfying.

In the culmination of a 10-month rivalry, the “Hell in a Cell” matchup between Edge and Finn Balor was going to be a spectacle; especially with Finn decked out in his ‘Demon’ persona and make-up. As the match progressed, the two went at it a violent exchange using chairs, sticks and ladders. It was a thrown ladder being used as a weapon that literally split open the head of Balor, when the metal struck him and gave him a nasty gash. Immediately, this unplanned moment had the ringside medical attendants stapling his wound so they could stop bleeding, and Finn could continue the match. In the end, Edge (the babyface this time out) defeated Balor. We can only hope that this is the final ‘staple’ in their feud.

In the ‘Hollywood’ moment on night 2, The Miz and Snoop Dogg were back in the middle of the ring. Snoop set ‘Miz’ up for another impromptu match following Saturday’s impromptu bout with Pat McAfee. This time, enter Shane McMahon, one of the surprises of the night. Shane has not been seen in a WWE ring or programming since the 2022 Royal Rumble.

While Shane got a big ‘pop’ from the audience, the match didn’t get very far. McMahon leaped frogged over The Miz and landed wrong and it was later revealed he tore his quadricep. With the whole bit going down in flames, leave it to Snoop to save the day! Snoop laid the smacketh down on The Miz with his version of the Rock’s “People’s Elbow” and covered Miz for the victory. Shane was seen on social media needing help from the entrance ramp to backstage following his untimely injury.

Check out some of the big moments from WrestleMania 39’s second night in the videos and posts below.
Now let us know, were you shocked that the WWE decided to keep the Universal Championship on Roman Reigns instead of Cody Rhodes coming up with the victory? Who’s entrance did you like the most .. Roman’s, Bianca Belair’s or someone else? What did you think of Finn Balor and Shane McMahon’s real-life injuries during the super bowl of pro Wrestling? Comment below.

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 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.
