Tucker and Victor meet to finalize the terms of the Jabot deal and Tucker fishes for information on Adam and Victor’s fallout. Meanwhile, Ashley presents Adam with the piece of cloth stained in blood and demands the truth from him but Adam continues to pretend that he knows nothing. Adam continues to play dumb until Phyllis hits him with the evidence that Skye was a victim of Taylor’s and he had to have known about his girlfriend’s involvement. Sharon turns on him, wanting to know the truth. Daniel and Amber get to the coffeehouse and find Kevin still frantically searching for Jana, who is still missing. He tells them that he believes that Daisy and Ryder may be involved but they both have alibis. Chloe arrives and Kevin asks her to get Chance to help them find Jana. Later, Chance agrees to help find Jana and Ryder arrives to offer Kevin his help as well. Jack and Patty arrive home and Jack surprises Patty with a portrait of Emily in her wedding gown and Patty panics, trying to hide her jealousy and Jack wonders if she doesn’t like his gift. Patty recovers quickly and reminds Jack how much she loves both him and the portrait. Alone, she tells Emily that Jack belongs to her now. Adam pretends to be tortured by the idea that Skye was molested by Taylor and he knew nothing about it. He sells it so well that Nick and Sharon wonder if he is telling the truth but Phyllis and Ashley aren’t buying it. Adam tries to get Sharon to leave with him but Nick tries to stop Sharon. Adam, however, puts on his best show, and manages to convince Sharon that she can trust her. Later, Ashley, Nick and Phyllis are determined to find solid evidence to bring Adam down and show Sharon who she is truly married to. Chloe finds a tip on the website Kevin set up to find Jana and Kevin, Ryder and Daniel set out to track it down. Later, Amber breaks out the Ouija board but all it spells out is MAMA and Amber starts to think that it is because she has babies on the brain. Meanwhile, Kevin learns that Jana was at the Strand Theatre before her disappearance. Jack confronts Victor and Tucker during their business and accuses Adam of being a mole planted by Victor inside Tucker’s company to help Victor outbid Jack for Jabot. Victor doesn’t cop to any malfeasance but Jack refuses to back down. Later, Jack tells Victor that he is going to a judge with his suspicions in order to stop the Jabot deal from going through. Meanwhile, Patty calls in for an update on Emily and learns that she is still in a coma. Sharon tells Adam that if he doesn’t tell her everything he has done now she will run from him as fast as she can. Adam explains to Sharon that Ashley was already unstable and asks Sharon to believe him. He asks Sharon to leave Genoa City with him and save their marriage in the process. Later, Jack runs into Adam and tries to plant a seed of doubt that Victor is playing Adam. He offers to have Adam come to work with him to get back at Victor once and for all. Chloe learns that Chance is going to file a missing persons report but there is still no evidence that Jana didn’t just take off on her own which nearly sends Kevin over the edge. Meanwhile, still locked up, Jana screams for help.

Lily and Mac meet with Devon and Malcolm to celebrate her last day of chemo, while Cane and Neil have to bail due to work situations with Tucker. Later, Cane meets with Tucker and learns that he plans to sell off all the divisions of Chancellor in one day. Kay and Neil are going over all of Tucker’s past dealings, trying to find something they can use against him, just as Cane arrives with the bad news. Things between J.T. and Victoria go from bad to worse as the tension continues to rise and Victoria realizes how much she missed while she was in Dubai. Later, Nikki encourages Victoria to move into the main house but Victoria refuses to be around Victor at the moment after the stunt he pulled with Adam. However, Victoria and Victor finally talk and Victor makes a vow that Adam will keep his distance from the rest of the family in order to protect them. Jack stops by Sharon’s suite to drop off the keys to Brad’s house, now that it’s livable again, and Jack tries to work Adam again. Meanwhile, Ashley leaves Jack a message telling him that she plans to move into Brad’s with Faith and Abby just as Victor arrives wanting to know exactly what her suspicions are about Adam. Later, Ashley tells Jack that she is moving back into Brad’s just as Sharon and Adam arrive and she drops the bomb on them that they need to make new living arrangements. While looking into Tucker’s past with Cane and Neil, Kay finally finds what she has been looking for in order to bring Tucker down. Nearby, Lily and Malcolm grow closer as they talk about their future as parents. Later, Kay, Cane and Neil realize that Tucker used a painting in order to further his career. Malcolm, Lily, Mac and Devon discuss what it would be like for Devon to look for his biological father and what it meant for Mac to not know her father growing up. Devon brings up the fact that Lily’s children will, in a way, have two mothers but Mac quickly corrects saying that although she feels protective, Lily is their one and only mother. Sharon and Adam immediately assume that this is Ashley’s way of punishing Adam but Ashley explains that this was Abby’s way of feeling closer to Brad and Colleen. Jack tries to interject himself but Adam cuts all ties with him and calls off the partnership, which Ashley becomes curious about. Later, Adam makes a passionate plea to take Sharon away from Genoa City, to get away from all the people that are trying to pull them apart with their lies. Sharon is drawn in as they kiss deeply. Meanwhile, Ashley tells Jack that Adam was responsible for tormenting her last summer and that he needs to stay away from Adam. Sharon agrees to leave Genoa City with Adam. Victoria and Victor manage to reconcile when Victor tells Victoria that her family comes first and he understands her decisions regarding Jabot. Meanwhile, Kay interrupts Tucker’s auction of Chancellor’s holdings in order to make it clear to Tucker that she now has the upper hand. Later, Victoria tries to start a conversation with J.T. and asks him to find a place to live, knowing it may be better for everyone involved but J.T. immediately becomes hostile and the battle lines are drawn. Mac finally feels the babies kick for the first time and Lily is thrilled, and a little wistful. Nearby, a stranger watches Cane with his family. Meanwhile, Tucker is caught when Kay confronts him with her suspicions of the buy off.

Jana, still locked up, continues to believe that Kevin will find her. Meanwhile, Kevin’s entire family works to help a frustrated and scared Kevin look for Jana and reminds him that both Daisy and Ryder have solid alibis for the time Jana went missing. Ryder sees Adam with a stack of relocation books at the bookstore and asks him about it. Adam tells him that he is considering leaving the country and starting his life over. Meanwhile, after Phyllis and Nick fill Victor in on their latest Adam discovery, Victor is furious and calls Adam to the ranch immediately to find out what the truth really is. Tucker realizes that Kay has evidence that he is guilty of international corporate bribery. Kay threatens to unravel everything Tucker has worked his entire life building. Tucker, however, is dumbstruck when Kay tells him that she has no intention of making her knowledge of this public. J.T. and Victoria’s argument escalates when J.T. refuses to walk away from Reed and he starts to point the finger at Victoria, reminding her that she was the one that chose Newman over her own son. Moments later, Kevin calls for J.T.’s help and J.T. uses it as an excuse to leave in the middle of their argument. Meanwhile, Daisy shows Ryder Kevin’s flyers of Jana and tells him that she needs a plan to make sure Kevin won’t ever wonder what happened to Jana again. Later, Ryder brings Jana food and Jana tries to talk to him and convince him to help her for Kevin’s sake. Ryder, however, reminds her that she knows who his mother is now and his mother is never going to let her go. Phyllis and Nick wonder what Adam’s true intentions with Dr. Taylor were and what Victor will do if he gets Adam to admit what he has done. Meanwhile, Victor gives Adam a chance to come clean and tell him the truth about what he did to Ashley but Adam feigns hurt and then goes on the attack telling Victor that if Nick and Phyllis don’t back off that he will be forced to tell everyone about the Jabot deal. Victor, however, doesn’t take the bait and reminds Adam that he will go down with them. Later, Adam goes to Tucker and tells him that he wants to take over the position of V.P. of European Operations. J.T. arrives at the coffeehouse to help Kevin look for Jana as Victoria calls Michael to ask him to help her with her divorce, fearing that J.T.’s talk of an amicable divorce was all just talk. Meanwhile, Ryder tells Daisy that he is worried about Jana because she is having headaches but Daisy is flip about it more concerned about making Jana disappear. Later, Michael tells Victoria that she can’t force J.T. to move out because Sharon leased the house to both of them. Meanwhile, Daisy tries to imitate Jana’s accent in the hopes of convincing Kevin that Jana left him. Kay tells Victor that she could have crushed Tucker today and chose not to because he is her son. Meanwhile, Tucker refuses to let Adam leave and tells him to stop the sale of all Chancellor Companies immediately.

On the day of Delia’s birthday party, Ashley stops by to see Emily and Jack and Patty starts to panic when Ashley asks her about her “surprise” for Jack and Patty knows nothing about it. Meanwhile, Chance and Chloe prepare to celebrate Delia’s birthday and discuss the relationship Chance has with Delia. Chance makes it clear to Chloe that he isn’t trying to take Billy’s place as Delia’s father. Later, Jack, Patty and Ashley arrive at the Chancellor estate for the party and Patty sidles up to Chloe to try and get more information on her surprise for Jack. At Restless Style, Billy, Jill, Malcolm, Cane and Lily are going over Lily’s test shots and everyone seems to love them but away from the group Billy and Jill realize they still need to dig up dirt on Tucker to sell their cover story. Meanwhile, Kay tells Neil that she decided not to use the information she has over Tucker against him and he tells her that she has to if she wants to save Chancellor. As the party gets underway, everyone coos over Delia, and Billy spoils her with gifts. Nearby, Jack finally gets a call from the lawyer he has been waiting for with news about Jabot. Meanwhile, Victor and Tucker get the news that Jack managed to convince a judge to put a stay on their deal until it can be looked at more thoroughly. Later, Chance has to leave to go to work and Jill realizes that Kay has dirt on Tucker and she is dumbstruck when Cane tells her that Kay decided not to use it. Victor and Tucker realize how much they are alike and how many promises they have broken to the people in their lives. Meanwhile, Jill pleads with Kay to use her ammunition to strike at Tucker but Kay tells her to let it go. Later, Victor goes to the hospital to visit “Patty” and asks her if she believes in karma. Alone with Emily, Victor finally opens up about his regret and admits his part in bringing Patty to town and Colleen’s death. Back at the magazine, Billy and Jill work frantically to try and find out what Kay is hiding from them on Tucker.

Patty’s panic rises when Ashley tells her that the surprise has arrived for Jack. Just as Jack is leaving for the courthouse, Kyle runs through the front door and into his father’s arms. Jack is stunned to see his son and Patty tries to control her panic, not knowing this boy who is calling Jack dad. Meanwhile, Victor promises “Patty” that she will get the best care money can buy. Chance comes home after Delia’s party and tells Chloe that Riggs turned up dead and now he will never know what was really going on with him. Meanwhile, Tucker tells Kay that he is putting a hold on the sale of all of Chancellor’s companies and Kay thanks him. At the hospital, Lily prepares for her PET scan to see if the cancer is in remission or if it has spread and wonders where Cane could be. Meanwhile, Cane is detained by an Immigrations officer who tells him that he is in the country illegally.

Cane informs a frantic Lily that I.C.E. wants to deport him. Cane explains that because he used Phillip’s social security number and masqueraded as natural born U.S. citizen that it is a deportable offense regardless of the fact that they are married. Lily refuses to let him get deported, no matter what. Victor goes to see Sharon to find out where Adam is and she defends her husband promising that Adam will do his part in court today, no matter the personal cost to himself. Meanwhile, Phyllis works to get access to Dr. Taylor’s personal effects. Later, Phyllis tells Sharon that she is onto a lead that will prove who Adam truly is and when she does she wants Sharon to come with her. Victoria and Billy compare battle wounds from their respective past year and before he knows what he is doing Billy grabs Victoria and kisses her. Completely caught off guard, Victoria kisses him back before drawing off and slapping him. Michael interrupts them before they have a chance to discuss anything. Later, Victor wonders if there is something going on with Victoria and Billy that he needs to step in on. Meanwhile, Victoria asks Nick if Michael needs to know about Adam’s position as the mole in Tucker’s organization. Paul is alerted when he is talking to “Patty” and she manages to squeeze his hand. Meanwhile, Patty is hit again when Diane Jenkins walks through the door and introduces herself to Emily. Patty manages to compose herself quickly and Diane is impressed by “Emily,” much more so than Phyllis. However, when Diane brings up Patty’s reign of destruction Patty starts to slowly lose it again. Later, just as Diane and Patty are discussing Patty’s past with Jack, Paul calls to tell “Emily” about “Patty’s” break through and asks her to come to the hospital. At the courthouse, everyone arrives and prepares for the hearing, all wondering where Adam is and what he is going to say in court. Inside the court, Jack and Victor present their cases and then the judge asks to hear from Adam but everyone is stunned when it seems that Adam didn’t show up to testify. Meanwhile, Phyllis tries to reach Sharon and make her see that Adam is dangerous and promises that if she doesn’t find anything on Adam that she will drop her investigation. Later, Jack is thrilled when the judge rules for a stay of 30 days in order for Jack to find more evidence that Victor tampered with the bids. At the hospital, Paul tells Patty that his sister has been trying to wake up and Patty promises to take good care of her. Patty tries to get a moment alone with Emily but Paul refuses to leave the room. Later, Patty finally manages to get a few moments alone with Emily just as Emily opens her eyes. Patty panics and grabs a pillow in order smother Emily. Sharon refuses to help Phyllis blast Adam so Phyllis sets out to find the proof on her own. Up in her suite, Sharon calls Adam just as Victor arrives demanding to know where Adam is. Meanwhile, while going through Taylor’s papers, Phyllis finds Skye’s journal that proves Adam knew about Skye’s past with Taylor. Later, Phyllis brings the news to Jack and ends up face to face with Diane. At the Sharon’s suite, Nick brings Skye’s journal and pleads with Sharon to hear him out. Lily promises Cane that she will do everything she can to get him out of lock up and home to her. Meanwhile, Billy and Victoria run into each other but refuse to talk about the kiss that happened earlier in the day.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night Two: Top 5 Takeaways

Published

13 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.
