Nick stops by to see Summer before she and Phyllis leave and Nick and Phyllis have a civil conversation, finally realizing everything that they are losing by ending their marriage. Later, Nick shows up at Sharon’s with a copy of the newspaper with Sharon and Adam on the front page. As Chris and Paul are meeting to talk about the kiss they shared last night, Heather, Sid and Ronan arrive to tell them that Chance plead not guilty at this arraignment to make sure he went to jail. They all fear the danger Chance’s actions will put him in. In jail, Chance tries to get the inmates to sell to him. Heather comes up with an idea to help Chance and takes Ronan and Sid with her, while Chris and Paul decide to go see Nina, unaware that she witnessed their kiss last night. Later, Heather and Ronan ask Owen to drop the charges against Chance in order to protect their case but Owen refuses and Ronan decides that it is time to go see the warden. Chance finds his way in when his cellmate is also ex-army and tells him he will try to get him what he needs. As Vance, Adam and Skye are going over everything for Adam’s trial, Vance assures Adam that he has everything under control but wonders if there is anything Adam hasn’t told him and Adam flashes back to his confession to Sharon. Adam admits that he confessed everything to her and Skye goes ballistic. Adam turns on her, saying that Skye could never understand what he and Sharon feel for one another and Skye laughs at the thought that Adam is still holding out hope for a reconciliation. Meanwhile, Sharon gets overwhelmed by everything Adam and Nick tries to remind her of everything he has done to the people Sharon loves. Nick realizes that Adam has gotten to her and now she doesn’t want to testify against him. Nick wonders if her feelings for Nick are stopping her from getting up on the stand and stopping Adam. Chris and Paul show up to support Nina and she tells them that she was surprised by what she saw outside Gloworm last night. They immediately realize that Nina thinks that they slept together and start explaining that it was nostalgia, a kiss and nothing more. Meanwhile, Heather and Ronan try to have Chance moved from general population but Chance continues to refuse. Later, Chance manages to score drugs from his cellmate. Later, Chris, Paul, Ronan and Heather meet after all else fails and realize that they need to find a way to get Chance out of jail before he gets himself hurt or worse. Adam refuses to let Vance attack Sharon on the stand, no matter what she says. Meanwhile, Nick tells Sharon that the reason this all started was because she was trying to get over him and now that Phyllis has left him and if Adam goes to jail they will finally have a chance to get back what they lost. As Nick moves to check on Faith, Adam arrives and Sharon goes outside to talk to him. Sharon tells him she knows what he is up to. Later, Adam tells Sharon that he is okay with her telling the truth in court and promises her that no one will come after her. Meanwhile, Skye tells Vance to go after Sharon with everything.

While Chance is meeting with Nina, Meeks is nearby talking to Chance’s cellmate who tells him about the earlier drug exchange and Meeks tells him that when Chance “accidentally” gets killed it will look like a dirty cop was killed in prison. Cane and Lily are ecstatic when the doctor tells them that the twins can go home today. Neil and Sofia are at business meeting and tensions are high as Neil gets a call from Malcolm about the babies coming home and leaves, not telling Sofia where he is going. At Cane’s, Lily’s entire family gathers as Neil holds his grandchildren for the first time. Lily and Neil have father daughter moment as she watches him with her children. Moments later, Sofia arrives and calls Neil out on excluding her and Malcolm is none too thrilled by his brother’s behavior. Nikki is none to thrilled that Meggie is continuing to live the high life on Victor’s dime. Nikki tells Victor that she will handle Meggie and Victor can make sure that Adam gets what he deserves. Later, Nikki confronts Meggie and tells her that she is taking advantage of Victor’s generosity. Nikki promises her that if she is scamming them, Shaw Roberts is nothing compared to the wrath of Victor Newman. Tucker surprises the Abbotts when he flies Traci into town for Adam’s hearing, knowing that they will need her support. Abby arrives and is thrilled to see her aunt but isn’t sure she is welcome in the mansion. Traci finds Abby outside and assures her that everything will okay and brings her in to see the rest of her family. Ashley and Abby have a strong mother daughter moment as Ashley reminds her that no matter what she does she still loves her. Ashley tells Traci that she is glad Tucker won’t be in court today because she doesn’t want him to hear about her past struggle with her mental health. Nearby, Billy and Jack lean on one another as they each deal with their own heartbreak. Adam promises Sharon she has nothing to worry about on the stand just as Nick comes out and Adam leaves. Nick tells her not to believe him but Sharon tells him that his time she actually does. Skye tells Vance to annihilate Sharon but Adam arrives and overhears them and warns them both to leave Sharon alone. Nick pushes Sharon not to trust Adam and Sharon loses her cool with both of them, telling Nick she won’t let her guard down with either of them again. Nikki finds a note from Meggie saying that she left the ranch for good and Nikki calls Meggie to find out what she is doing. Meggie tells her that she isn’t staying anywhere that she isn’t wanted. Nikki tells her that she isn’t letting her go anywhere because Victor would never forgive her if happened to Meggie but Nikki continues to remain skeptical. Later, Nikki comes to pick Meggie up at the coffeehouse and finds Shaw with her; Nikki attacks him, assuming that Shaw is there to hurt Meggie and tells someone to call 911. Nikki apologizes for ever doubting Meggie. Everyone is thrilled by Sofia’s arrival in their lives, except Neil. Tucker drops by to welcome the twins home and Cane and Lily thank them for helping find a solution to Cane’s deportation problem. Neil is caught off guard, not realizing that that was what his meeting with Sofia was about this morning and Malcolm asks what his problem is and demands that it stop now. Sharon takes the stand against Adam in the hearing and doesn’t miss a beat telling the judge everything that Adam did. Vance pleads with Adam to let him attack Sharon but Adam tells him that he has already made his decision. Tucker enters the courtroom to support Ashley and Ashley starts to panic.

Adam remains adamant that Vance lay off Sharon on the stand and everyone is shocked when the judge allows Sharon to be dismissed. Outside the court, Tucker is thrown when Ashley doesn’t want him to stay for her testimony just as she is being called to the stand. Later, Victor helps Sharon come to grips with the fact that her testimony will be the main reason Adam’s case will go to trial. On the stand, Ashley tells her story about the times Adam tried to make her think she was losing her mind. Vance takes his shot at Ashley and tries to destroy her credibility. When Ashley steps down she is stunned when she sees Tucker standing in the back of the courtroom, but finds comfort with her sister and daughter. Victoria runs into Jill at the club and is surprised to hear that Billy fired her from Restless Style and even more surprised to learn that Jill was the one that leaked the information about Newman to Tucker. Later, Victoria goes to the magazine to wait for Billy. Meanwhile, Jill tells Tucker that he had better hold up his end of the bargain or else. Tucker, however, tells her to calm down and immediately makes the call as Ashley shows up. Jill leaves and Ashley apologizes for what he heard in court and offers to step down as Jabot’s CEO. At the court, Vance goes on a crusade to prove that everyone taking the stand against Adam had a vendetta against him. After court convenes, Nick follows Sharon out and asks her if she promised Adam anything in return for him going easy on her on the stand and Sharon loses it. She tells him she told the truth on the stand and wonders what Nick’s problem is. Victor and Jack walk in on their argument and Victor tells Nick that he needs to stop looking for trouble because they already have more than enough. Abby admits to Traci that she wishes there was more she could do to help Ashley right now. Tucker tells Ashley that she won’t be stepping down and he doesn’t think any less of her after what he heard today, if anything else he has more respect for her for what she has overcome. Meanwhile, at the magazine, Victoria tries to apologize to Billy for jumping to the wrong conclusions but Billy doesn’t understand why she immediately took her father’s word without believing him when he said that he loved her and wouldn’t hurt her, no matter what. Neither one is willing to take the first step so Victoria leaves. Jill calls Tucker’s P.I. to start investigating her birth parents. Meanwhile, Traci gives Abby some much needed advice and tells her that she might want to try reminding her parents how much she loves them once in awhile. Later, Sharon thanks Adam for keeping his word. Paul stops by to support Nina as she worries not only about Chance being in jail but because it’s her other son’s birthday. At the coffeehouse, Chris reminds Ronan that it’s his birthday as well, but he is all too willing to forget as Heather approaches. She asks Chris if she has heard from the D.O.J. yet about Chance’s release and Chris tells her that although it should be soon it can’t be soon enough for Chance. At the jail, Chance continues to cover while Chloe is visiting with him but when she doesn’t believe a word of it, she shows him the drugs he scored from one of the inmates and she is stunned. Later, Chance opens up Chloe and tells her the truth about the drugs and the case and asks her to take the drugs and hide them as evidence but she refuses to do anything that could put Chance in more danger.

Malcolm and Sofia have an argument about where they are going to live and Sofia leaves to deal with work rather than figuring things out. Downstairs, Tucker is meeting with Neil and tells him that he found out that Victor has been bribing a Japanese official. As Sofia arrives she hears Neil ask Tucker if they rumors are true that Tucker is trying to take Beauty of Nature from Newman. Later, Neil warns Tucker what he is getting into with trying to take B of N from Victor, knowing what it means to both Victor and Victoria – going to war. Victor is stunned when Meggie and Nikki tell him about their close call with Shaw at the coffeehouse. Realizing the danger that Meggie is in now, Nikki offers to make Meggie her assistant so she can stay out of town and still make some money. Meanwhile, Neil tells Tucker and Sofia that he won’t help them go to war with Victor or endanger Chancellor in anyway just as Victor and Michael arrive to meet with the Chief D.O.J. officer in Genoa City. Tucker is none too pleased that Victor is taking the power out of his hands. Later, Nikki is impressed by Meggie’s effectiveness as her assistant. Heather pleads with Chris and Ronan to tell Chance the truth about their undercover operation but Ronan stands his ground and Chris makes the call that it isn’t their last resort yet. Meanwhile, Paul promises Nina that her son turned out okay because he had her as a mother. Later, Ronan starts to become suspicious of Meeks when Meeks tries to plant seeds of doubt about Chance with Ronan but Ronan knows better. Later, the inmates who were plotting with Meeks plan Chance’s murder. Chloe meets with Ronan and tells him about her conversation with Chance. Ronan is shocked how deeply Chance got in and so quickly and asks Chloe to go back in and get the drugs from Chance. At the jail, Chance slips the drugs to Heather. Later, Chance learns that he has been released but refuses to leave. Chloe runs into Heather as she returns to the jail to see Chance and they are both rocked by an explosion. They fear the worst until Chance comes running out of the jail and Heather moves to embrace Chance as Chloe leaves. Nina starts to panic when she hears about the explosion and is extremely relieved when Chance walks in with Heather. Chance calls Chloe to check in and tells her about Nina’s other son. Ronan meets with Chloe at Jimmy’s as Chloe is throwing herself a pity party after what happened at the jail and Chloe notices that Ronan’s birthday is today, the same day as Chance’s brother. Later, Chance tells Heather that the drugs he bought came the evidence room and Heather suggests they go to Owen to set up a sting. Meanwhile, Meeks tells Owen that Chance escaped the explosion and Owen orders them to make sure not to screw it up a second time. At Jimmy’s, Chloe starts to put the pieces together about Ronan and Nina’s missing son. Malcolm decides to give Sofia what she wants and signs a lease for the upscale condo rather than the house in the suburbs. Meanwhile, Victor tells Tucker that the DOJ is being understanding the misunderstanding in Japan and that he will fail if he continues to try to take over Beauty of Nature.

As Victor and Nikki wait to hear the judge’s ruling on Adam’s case, Victor thinks back on a time before Adam was born when Victor and Hope feared for his welling being and when the first time Victor held his son. Victor remembers the day that Hope dying and her decision to tell Adam the truth about Victor being his father and he realizes that her decision to tell him changed their lives forever. Victor remembers the day that Hope died and what it did to Adam, as he cried in despair next to her grave. Victor tells Nikki about the day Adam came to Genoa City to accept Victor’s job offer and when he changed his name to Adam Wilson, Victor should have known then what it meant. Adam was looking for anything but family. After Victor came back from Mexico he remembers how Adam took over his family and tried to dismantle Newman and the very real disappointment he felt having to fire his own son. After Adam went to jail for forging the diary Victor still didn’t turn his back on him and remembers when Adam learned he was losing his sight and decided to reach out to his son once again, which turned out to be a fatal error in judgment. Victor continued to give him chance after chance, even as he and Nick were at each other’s throats. Victor remembers the night in the cabin, knowing that he could’ve killed his own son for everything he did to his family that night. Moments later, Victor gets the call that court is reconvening. In court, the judge rules in Adam’s favor, finding that there isn’t sufficient evidence for Adam’s case to go to trial and everyone is furious while Adam and Skye are thrilled and a little stunned. Later, Victor offers to pay for Justin Hightower’s college education and makes sure that he has all the advantages in life that he lost when he lost his father. Victor and Nikki ask everyone to come back to the ranch to discuss the situation with Adam and they all agree as Adam comes out of the court expecting an angry mob but instead everyone just turns and walks away from him. At the ranch, Victor meets the group and asks them to let go of their anger towards Adam because if they retaliate only Adam wins but if they act as he doesn’t exist, he loses everything. Meanwhile, Adam remembers Hope and the day he left her to take a job in the city how proud she was of him. Adam fights back the emotion as he realizes how much he has let Hope down. Later, Victor tells everyone that Adam will have to pay for his sins but at his own hand because he will have to live with what he has done forever.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night Two: Top 5 Takeaways

Published

12 hours ago

August 3, 2026

Michael

Sunday night’s second night of WWE SummerSlam delivered one of the greatest matches of all-time, a match of the year candidate or even the decade. For those in attendance at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, watching on ESPN limited or Netflix around the world, the August 2 main event between former Shield members turned rivals, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins closed out a story 12-years in the making in a classic main event.

In fact, the second night of SummerSlam, (we previously gave our recap of night one here) was a vast improvement in the two-day event, dubbed ‘The biggest event of the summer.” Led by the incredible performances and masterful in-ring storytelling by Reigns and Rollins, who went 33 minutes in a spellbinding match-up with so many near pin falls, that whether you were watching at home or in the crowd, you would jump to your feet!

Let’s take a look at how things went down and give you our 5 top takeaways from the night on the six-match card, kicking it off with Roman Reigns defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins.

ROMAN AND SETH WRESTLING SOULMATES HONOR THEIR BROTHERHOOD

Right from the ring entrances, Seth Rollins paid homage to the Shield, complete with the facial mask, white version of their black vests, and more. When the Shield debuted back in 2012, it was the trio of Reigns, Rollins and Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley, AEW) who protected a then heel-ish CM Punk.

After Rollins delivered a chair shot to Reigns in 2014, and the group split up, Seth has always had Roman’s number, defeated him, and has been inside Roman’s head for his betrayal. The main event played on that aspect of the story throughout. With each delivering their patented moves: The Stomp from Seth, and a Superman Punch from Roman. However, neither man could truly get the upper hand on the other in a main event that lasted 33 1/2 minutes, truly a gift for the fans and the longest bout of the night.

There was plenty of trash-talking between the two, which heightened the story and made the ending all the more powerful. In addition, there were throwback moves of Dean Ambrose thrown into the mix. But then, here’s how it all came to a conclusion. When the referee got knocked out, Rollins decided to grab a chair from ringside. He was going to use the same weapon he used on Reigns 12 years back, that led to the turn against the OTC. However, Seth hesitated. Roman got back up and had Seth on the ring ropes ready to use the chair on him. Seth told him to just get it over with. Roman put the chair down. Then, they went punch for punch. After hitting a final spear, Roman pinned Seth for the win as the referee finally came to. At the end of the match, both titans were exhausted and slumped in opposite corners of the ring.

However, in the most touching moment, Roman got up and went to the middle of the ring. The OTC extended his arm and fist, just like in the days of The Shield, as a peace offering to Rollins. Next, Seth got up and went and joined Roman. The two did a fist bump as a show of respect and the story was brought to a fitting ending.

KEVIN OWENS RETURNS AFTER 17 MONTH RECOVERY FROM NECK SURGERY, BECOMES NUMBER ONE CONTENDER

Sami Zayn cannot catch a break! Just when he thought his number one contender match was between himself and Finn Bálor, think again! Before the match started, the newly reinstated SmackDown GM, Nick Aldis came out and announced that he is adding Gunther … and Kevin Owens!

When Zayn saw that his best friend (and sometimes rival) was back and healthy enough to wrestle in a fatal-four way, his jaw dropped in probably one of the most classic moments of the night. Once the bell rang, Owens came in ready to show he could still go, complete with his reverse somersaults, stunners and more. KO dominated the four-way match up, all leading to him pinning Zayn to become the number one contender to face Universal Champion, CM Punk!

During the WWE Post Show, Owens had emotional moments with commentator and former wrestler, Big E, who suffered a career-ending neck injury and surgery, Kevin explained it was just a few weeks ago, that the doctor’s finally cleared him to return to the ring. An amazing comeback story!

BARON CORBIN TAKES THE U.S. TITLE FAST

In another comeback, Baron Corbin has had many ups and down over his tenures with the WWE, and in what was Corbin’s first WWE match in nearly two years, he faced Trick Williams for the United States Championship and right hand man rapper Lil Yachty.

The match broke down when Yachty went for the “Trick Stick” (a kendo stick) and went to hit Corbin in the back with it, but that backfired. Corbin put Lil Yachty through a table, hit Williams with the title belt, before landing his signature End of Days finishing move. With plenty of shady tactics, Baron Corbin was your new U.S. Champ.

From the looks of it, Trick’s run as the titleholder was beginning to become stale. So, WWE strapped the belt quickly on heel Baron Corbin. Will it be a long reign? Stay tuned.

GREEN WITH ENVY

This victory by Chelsea Green in the women’s ladder match to decide the interim WWE Women’s Champion, was a nod to the fans. WWE actually listened to the resounding love for Green over the past year and in turn had her grab the title above the ladder and become the current champ, while Rhea Ripley is currently out with injury.

Green bested Charlotte Flair, Chelsea Green, Lash Legend, Jade Cargill, and the hometown girl Tiffany Stratton. The ring gear worn by the gals, tore down the house with Cargill paying homage to Minneapolis music legend, Prince. But even more notably, the stunning outfit worn by Flair, which paid tribute to the little girl she had befriended named Scarlett who recently died of cancer. The women turned it out for this ladder match and you could make a case for any of them to have won the belt, but in a feel-good moment, it belonged to Green.

MINNEAPOLIS’ OWN CHAD GABLE FINALLY IS A CHAMP

The second best match of the night was delivered by the Intercontinental Championship bout between Penta and the hometown boy, Chad Gable, Going into the match-up, Penta was the IC champ. However, Gable is finally getting acknowledged for the wrestler he is after his enduring run in a a mask as the heel-ish, El Grande Americano.

Gable’s three children and his wife and parents were in U.S. Bank Stadium, so if there was any time to pull the trigger in favor of Gable this was it. Penta and Gable delivered high-flying moves and solid wrestling fundamentals that wowed the crowd. Gable was working with a seeming shoulder injury throughout the match and was somehow cut open on his face.

The match came to an emotional conclusion when Penta was caught in Gabe’s patented ankle lock and taped out. That led to the tears and the emotional celebration with Chad and his family inside the ring.

While not in our top five takeaways, the other match of the night featured Danhausen (who is one of the hottest WWE superstars with the fans) and “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio in the first-ever “Human Monies on a Pole Match.”

Once again, it featured the minihausens coming out to protect their guy after much shenanigans from Dom and the Judgment Day’s J.D. McDonaugh. Danhausen and the minhausens got an assist from Joe Hendry and Dirty Dom was on the short end of the stick in this one.

You can check out the full WWE SummerSlam Sunday 2026 video highlights below. Followed by the Michael Fairman Channel’s “What’s Up? Wrestling” podcast that went live immediately following SummerSlam night two with our own post show reactions.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night One: Top 5 Takeaways

Published

August 2, 2026

Michael

Night night one of WWE’s SummerSlam on August 1, saw the return of “The Viper,” Randy Orton, the passing of the torch to Oba Femi, and SmackDown GM, Nick Aldis getting back into the ring after 3 years to take on “The Ring General’ Gunther. These were just a few of the major moment from the six bout match card.

Emanating from U.S. Bank stadium in Minneapolis, the match-ups had several ups and downs that either got the crowd into an electric frenzy or deadly quiet. The WWE creative was smart to kick-off night one with the Women’s World Championship match between the champion Liv Morgan and Ivo Sky, who put on a great show.

Both women brought their A -game, but Liv Morgan showed why she is the champ, while Iyo Sky remains the best overall female wrestler on the current roster. Here are our five top takeaways from Night 1 of SummerSlam:

RANDY ORTON AND CODY RHODES FEUD UP NEXT

The match between CM Punk, the current Undisputed World Heavyweight, and Cody Rhodes, the former champ, had most fans booing Rhodes and cheering for Punk. However, both men displayed some heel-ish moves throughout the bout.

When Rhodes missed a Cody Cutter and hit referee Charles Robinson instead, chaos ensued. Punk was out of the ring, so too was Robinson on the other side. Cody was in the ring laid out flat. Eventually, Randy Orton does a run-in out of nowhere and delivers the RKO to Rhodes, winks at the camera, and slinks out of the ring and runs out of the arena site unseen by Punk and Robinson.

Next, Punk rolled back in the ring and hit a third GTS on Rhodes to retain the title. In the end, there was no clean pinfall for Rhodes vs. Punk. It should be noted that Punk also missed a moonsault maneuver that looked sloppy, which has been fodder on social media.

So, what does this do for Punk and Rhodes moving forward? It leave us with Punk moving on to face new challengers for the title, and Cody and Randy Orton to walk back the start of their feud that got messed up once WWE inserted Pat McAfee into the storyline at WrestleMania 42, which the WWE Universe was a hard pass on.

Can Orton and Rhodes now have a proper feud? Will there be a double turn comig? Randy (who the crowd was cheering for) actually being the face and Cody having had it with all the shenanigans used against him, just finally giving in and turning full heel? Stay tuned.

OBA FEMI WAS PASSED THE TORCH

Femi got quite the moment after he won the third match of his trilogy against Minnesota’s own Brock Lesnar, The Ruler beat The Beast Incarnate inside Hell in a Cell.

While there were five straight F5s in a row and Femi was taken to Suplex City, it appeared Lesnar had this under control especially after he exposed the wooden boards under the ring mat and apron. Next, Lesnar delivered a Tombstone piledriver paying homage to The Undertaker who Lesnar had defeated in two Hell in a Cells. However, the move left Femi unfazed. Suddenly, Femi was back up and shortly thereafter pinned Brock and won the math.

As he was exiting the ring, Lesnar broke character to hug Femi and called fo a mic and announced himself as the “past” and The Ruler as the “future” of WWE. Clearly, Lesnar gave the crowd in attendance and the millions around the world, his stamp of approval for Femi and passed the torched.

It should be noted we did not get Lesnar officially retiring in his home state, so he may be back. Meanwhile, Oba is clearly the WWE’s handpicked star who is having a rapid ascension to the top. Is it just a matter of time before Oba takes on Roman Reigns and wins the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him?

NICK ALDIS CAN STILL GO

Aldis, who came out to Oasis’ “Morning Glory,” and had excellent ring gear to boot, showed that after three years out of ring action that he can still turn it out and against Gunther, no less. The crowd chanted “you still got it” during the match.

However, in the end Gunther was eventually able to put Aldis down. After the match, Aldis got to share in the moment with his young son, Donovan and is wife, Mickie James inside the ring, to celebrate Aldis’ return to the ring if even for one night.

During the Post Show on ESPN, Triple H reinstated Aldis as the SmackDown GM, and tore up Aldis’ resignation letter, so Nick was still a part of the WWE in his managerial position moving forward.

Photo: WWE

THE BELLA TWINS SHOULD HAVE STAYED RETIRED DUE TO INJURIES

As we predicted, during the trios match between the Bella Twins and Paige v. Fatal Influence with Jacy Jayne, it would be Paige tho took the pin from Jayne. With that, the Bella Twins went back to full heel-mode, when Niki Bella who just returned after suffering from a broken ankle attached Paige.

Brie Bella could not get in to the beatdown because earlier in the match she suffered a serious shoulder injury which will now keep her out of action. If the plan was to have an evil Bella Twins run, now that Niki is back, well that just fell apart with the ill-fated timing of Brie’s injury.

This is a case where Hall-of-Famers want to get back into the ring later in their careers and things don’t go as smooth as planned. Now it remains what the WWE will do. Obviously, Niki will feud solo with Paige.

SOLO SIKOA IS GREAT AS A BABYFACE, DON’T RUIN IT!

The actual moment of the night belongs to Solo Sikoa who got the the last laugh on the Usos. Sikoa mocked Jey Uso’s Yeet chants and moves specifically when Jey runs it back with the audience, by having Jey’s theme music play and imitating him.

Later, via Samoan Spike to Jimmy Uso, he stopped a 1D attempt while L.A. Knight hit the BTF on Jey for the victory. Jacob Fatu, who teamed wiht the Usos had the coolest entrance of the night with his werewolf mask and antics. Royce Keys who teamed with Knight and Sikoa also got to show off some of his power moves to help his team secure the win.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: If Jason Leaves the Mob, What Will He Do Next?

Published

August 1, 2026

Michael

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).

Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.

In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

Courtesy/ABC

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.

Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.

Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.

However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.

Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.
