Patty nearly falls apart as she stands in front of God and family continues to pretend to be Emily. At the hospital, Paul stands by as the doctors work to save Emily’s life. The doctors warn Paul that he should prepare himself for the worst. Later, Patty panics when she realizes that Jack and Emily have written their own vows. Michael and Lauren prepare for a romantic Valentine’s Day spent all alone at home. Lauren apologizes for her behavior of late, and Michael tells her that it is already forgotten. Later, Lauren finds a way to make it up to Michael by seducing him. Victor surprises Nikki when he tells her that they are moving back into the ranch. Moments later they see a headline about Patty’s attempted suicide and Nikki decides to go see if Paul needs any support. Later, Nikki arrives at the hospital and finds Paul, who is relieved to see her. He tells her what happened to Patty and as they are talking, Emily hears them and realizes that she should be at her wedding. Meanwhile, Father Todd pronounces Jack and Patty husband and wife and Patty finally gets everything she has ever wanted. As the reception gets underway, all the guests offer Jack and “Emily” their congratulations and Billy and Ashley toast the bride and groom just as the doors open and in walks Victor with gift in hand. Victor’s presence at the wedding reception tries to push Jack’s buttons but Neil steps up and asks Victor to leave but before he does Traci asks to speak to him. Later, Traci reminds Victor of the gift she gave him and the fact that he is tarnishing that gift on this endless feud with Jack. At the tack house, Nick and Phyllis discuss dissolution of Victoria and J.T.’s marriage and realize that it had a lot to do with their lack of communication. Both Nick and Phyllis start to think of their own secrets. Later, Nick and Phyllis promise to never take what they have for granted but continue to keep secrets from one another. At the hospital, Emily listens as Nikki and Paul talk and she realizes that Paul thinks that she is Patty and that Patty must be with Jack. Later, Todd and Paul talk to Patty and Emily pleads with them in her mind to realize that she isn’t their sister. Meanwhile, finally alone, Patty and Jack find their way to the bedroom to make love. Chloe and Billy share a warm moment as they toast to Delia’s birthday. Nick finds a visitor’s pass from the Harvard Alumni Association in Phyllis’s purse and wonders what she was doing there. Meanwhile, Kay reprimands Victor for his actions at Jack’s wedding as Nikki arrives and tells them all about “Patty’s” predicament. Jack and Patty make love, Patty a little too desperately, as she silently cries on Jack’s chest. Meanwhile, Todd and Paul pray at Emily’s bedside.

Nick confronts Phyllis about hiding the fact that she was at Harvard from him. Phyllis tells Nick what she learned in Boston and Nick tells her to back off Adam, which forces him to tell her the entire plan that he concocted with Victor and Adam to take back control of Jabot. Phyllis promises to keep his secret but refuses to back off Adam. Father Todd brings Nina to see Paul at the hospital in the hopes of brightening his spirits. Meanwhile, Sharon and Adam run into Jack and Patty, both on their honeymoons. Later, Adam and Patty are caught off guard when they realize that Sharon and Jack have been to the island before, together. Meanwhile, Nina tries in vain to distract Paul with a movie.

Jana tries to tell Kevin what she learned about Ryder and Daisy’s connection but he doesn’t want to hear it. Meanwhile, after a run in with Daisy, Lauren decides it may be time for Daisy to move out. Later, Daisy makes casual conversation with Kevin while trying to find out what Jana is doing on her laptop. Michael and Lauren arrive at the coffeehouse to talk to the dean about getting Daisy back into the dorms and Daisy is surprised by the turn of events when she overhears their conversation. Victor finds Neil with Ashley at the ranch again and wonders what is going on between the two of them. In front of Victor, Neil makes it clear that they are friends but alone, Neil tells Ashley that his feelings for her are real. Later, Phyllis comes to the ranch and tells Neil and Ashley what she learned about Dr. Taylor in Boston and Ashley is stricken. As the movie progresses, Nina take Paul’s phone from him, and finally manages to get him to relax ever so slightly. Later, Paul, Nina and Todd are thrilled when it looks like “Patty” is going to make it. Jack and Sharon realize that they have both moved on, believing they have found their better halves. Outside, Patty tries to pretend to be Emily but unnerves Adam when she tells her that he isn’t a good man. Later, Sharon tells Adam that no matter how bad the truth may be she would rather know it than be in the dark. Jack is thrown off by “Emily’s” odd behavior when she doesn’t seem to remember the things she likes. Nick tells Victor that he had to spill the beans to Phyllis in order to keep their plan intact. Nick reminds Victor not to trust Adam. Meanwhile, Ashley starts to consider the possibility that Adam was the one tormenting her with Sabrina’s memory. At the coffeehouse, Kevin defends Daisy to Michael and Lauren because of his guilt over Ryder. Nearby, Daisy purposefully spills coffee on the floor and slips in it, but surprisingly, Lauren is unsympathetic. However, Daisy cries out in pain and Michael and Lauren realize they have to take her home. Later, Jana finds an article about Max, the boy from the picture with Ryder and Daisy and his disappearance. Adam and Sharon run into Phyllis as they arrive home from their honeymoon and Phyllis tells Adam that he should confess to Sharon what he was really doing with Dr. Taylor.

Lily and Billy officially welcome Malcolm to Restless Style after he signs his contract. Malcolm asks Lily if they can go back to her place to talk privately. At home, Malcolm asks Lily to work with him on his first photo essay for Restless Style by letting him tell her story. At first, Lily is uncomfortable, but Malcolm suggests they just take tests shots to show her just how strong she truly is. Later, Malcolm shoots Lily for the first time in a wig as they discuss Dru’s strength and how Lily shares that quality. As they talk, Lily realizes that she doesn’t need her wig and goes to take it off. Jana tells Noah, over the phone, that she is going to find out what Ryder and Daisy’s connection is to the boy, Max, and his disappearance. Moments later, Jana meets with Ryder and offers to buy him dinner, unaware that Kevin is making plans for a romantic evening. Later, Jana tells Kevin that she had dinner with Ryder and tries to tell him why but he doesn’t want to know. Tucker comes in and asks Kevin to find out who is trying to dig up information on him and his past dealings. Ashley wonders to Neil if it is possible that Adam was the one torturing her all along and plans to confront him when he returns home. Meanwhile, Sharon tries to ignore Phyllis as Phyllis pushes Adam, but Sharon is caught off guard when Phyllis tells her about Dr. Taylor sexually harassing his patients. Later, Sharon refuses to believe that Adam knew anything about who Taylor truly was and starts to think that Phyllis is just trying to get back at her. Ashley comes downstairs, and Adam immediately assumes that she wants to know about Phyllis’s accusations but instead Ashley demands to know if he tried to drive her insane. Tucker approaches Jill and Cane to find about if they know anything about who may be investigating him but Jill denies knowing anything. Cane encourages her to focus on finding a new job but Jill already has that covered. Later, Jill goes to see Billy at the magazine and suggests that he hire her and after some discussion, Billy agrees. Meanwhile, Cane comes home and finds Lily in tears and immediately assumes the worst, jumping all over Malcolm. Malcolm leaves and Lily tries to explain but Cane tells her that he doesn’t trust him. Ashley pushes Adam for the truth with Neil at her side as Sharon tries to defend him but Ashley refuses to waiver, knowing that Adam has been lying to her for months. Finally, Ashley tells Adam that it is time to move out of the ranch, immediately. Sharon’s faith in Adam starts to break when Phyllis points out that Ashley had no reason to be out to get Adam and even she has turned against him. Cane is caught off guard when Lily tells him how much Malcolm was helping her and that she was crying because she was happy. Later, Malcolm runs into Phyllis at the G.C.A.C. and they see Neil and Ashley together. He asks her how long Neil and Ashley have been dating and Phyllis isn’t sure but supports it considering what she is going through. Malcolm advises Phyllis to stay out of it but Phyllis is skeptical that there is anything Adam can really do to hurt her now. Upstairs, Adam and Sharon move into a suite, and Adam asks Sharon if anything that happened tonight changed the way she feels about him and she assures him that she still believes in him. Daisy realizes that her half of the photo is gone and she and Ryder put the pieces together that Jana has it. Jill brings Billy a new cover story idea on Tucker McCall and promises to dig up dirt on him, since he is so worried about someone looking into his background.

As Patty tries to lure Jack back to bed, he gets a fax and calls Ashley with information on Jabot and Victor. Meanwhile, Victor stops by the ranch to see Adam on the anniversary of Hope’s death and Ashley tells him that Adam and Sharon moved out. At the G.C.A.C., Sharon starts to realize that there may not be anything Adam can say to prove his innocence. Sharon begs Adam for the truth and it breaks his heart to do it but he forces himself to lie to her about everything that happen to Ashley last summer. Sharon believes him and as they are casually talking moments later, Adam realizes that today is the anniversary of Hope’s death. Daisy tells Ryder that their mother has a plan on how to handle Jana and the rest of the Fishers. At dinner, Jana and Kevin try to enjoy their evening but when Jana pushes Kevin too far about work things become tense. Later, Kevin surprises Jana with suite for the night but Jana feels like something is off between them and Kevin is determined to make it right. Victor presses Ashley to find out why Adam and Sharon moved out but Ashley is purposefully vague just as Abby arrives home. Abby is not happy to learn that Ashley has decided to give the ranch back to Victor. Later, as Adam is telling Sharon about his life growing up on the farm in Kansas, Victor arrives to see Adam. Alone, Victor tells Adam that he believes Hope would be proud of him. Meanwhile, Neil reminds Abby that home isn’t about a place but really about being with the people you love.

Jack wonders if “Emily’s” sudden change in behavior has anything to do with Patty. Patty works hard to stay in control and say the right things as she listens to Jack admit his guilt over hurting Patty but in the end, she wins him over and they go back to making love. Later, Patty overhears Jack on the phone with Ashley talking about Jabot and pushes Jack to tell her what is going on. Patty puts the pieces together and tells Jack they need to get back to Genoa City tonight. Jack is surprised and grateful when Patty supports him and tells him that he needs to take a stand against Victor. Jana receives a note from Kevin asking him to meet her at the Strand Theatre. Meanwhile, Kevin gets trapped in the elevator at the G.C.A.C. elevator. Later, Jana arrives at the theatre and finds a gift left for her, which she assumes is from Kevin, as Kevin continues to be stuck in the elevator trying not to panic. Jana opens the opens the gift and finds a picture of a birth announcement for twins – Ryder and Daisy. Moments later, in the elevator, the car jolts and plunges into darkness. Neil brings Abby home and Abby asks Ashley if it would be possibly to move into Brad’s house after the house is finished being rebuilt. Ashley likes the idea and agrees, thanking Neil for whatever he said to calm Abby down. Later, Ashley promises Neil that she will tell Victor the truth about Adam when the time is right. As Adam talks to Hope he wonders about the man he has become and tells her how much he truly loves Sharon but he doesn’t know if he can ever make things right. As he breaks down Sharon enters and wraps him in her arms. Adam blurts out the truth about his plan with Victor to Sharon and Sharon assures him that she is going to stand by his side, no matter what. Kevin finally gets out of the elevator and finds that Jana is gone from the club and wonders where she went. Meanwhile, Jana finally learns who Ryder and Daisy’s mother is just as she is attacked.

Kevin tells Michael and Lauren that Jana is missing and that he thinks something happened to her. Kevin tells them about Jana’s suspicions about Daisy and Ryder and they all set out to find out where Jana could be. Later, Kevin and Michael go back over the night and Kevin wonders if the elevator glitch wasn’t a glitch at all but instead, Ryder and Daisy were involved. They realize they need answers about them fast. As Ashley prepares to move into Brad’s, Billy pumps her for information on Tucker to no avail. Meanwhile, Victoria comes to see Victor about his interview on Adam in Restless Style and Victor tells her that he needs to talk her about his reasons for giving the interview in the first place. Later, Sharon stops by the ranch and tries to defend Adam to Ashley but Ashley holds her ground and even reminds Sharon that although she no longer trusts Adam, Sharon is still welcome and Sharon is suddenly overcome with emotion. Phyllis tells Nick that she can’t lay off Adam because he is more dangerous than anyone thought. Phyllis tells Nick everything she has learned about Adam and he realizes that he needs to tell Victor. Later, Victor tells Victoria everything about their plan with Adam just as Nick arrives and fills them in on Adam’s possible involvement in Ashley’s torment and Dr. Taylor. Victoria is furious to have been dragged into this mess against her will. Victoria tells them that she is resigning from Jabot and turning her back on this mess but Victor wants to forge ahead with the deal, even though Nick thinks Adam could turn on them.

When Ashley needs to rush off to help Abby, Sharon offers to stay with Faith and promises not to let Adam anywhere near her. Meanwhile, Adam shows up at Newman Enterprises and reminds Nick and Victor that if they cross him he will return the favor. Later, Phyllis runs into Ashley and tells her that she has proof that Adam knew everything that Dr. Taylor did to Skye and all the other women because she spoke to Skye’s best friend, who was also a victim of Taylor’s. At the ranch, Nick stops by and finds Sharon with Faith, and he tries to make Sharon see that Adam stories just aren’t adding up. Lauren confronts Daisy about her whereabouts and the fact that Ryder is from her past. Daisy covers quickly but Lauren remains suspicious. Meanwhile, Kevin confronts Ryder and tells him that if he did anything to hurt her that he will kill him. Later, Kevin starts to panic when there are no leads on Jana. Meanwhile, Ryder and Daisy watch over a trapped unconscious Jana, locked up in a cage. While talking to Billy at the bar, and being pumped for information on Tucker, Victoria lets it slip that she and J.T. are getting a divorce. Billy tells her that he thinks J.T. is a fool for letting her go and Victoria is caught off guard by the compliment. Later, Billy helps Victoria let off some steam and the two laugh, which Victor witnesses and doesn’t like. After Victoria leaves, Victor warns Billy away from Victoria. Adam, Ashley and Phyllis all arrive at the ranch as Nick and Sharon are talking and Ashley sees Nick holding Summer’s doll with a piece of purple cloth and she realizes that it the cloth that Adam showed her the night he tried to convince her that she hit Sabrina.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night Two: Top 5 Takeaways

Published

on

By

Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns

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

on

By

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

on

By

Steve Burton

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.
