Just as Patty is about to smother Emily, Paul enters the room and Emily gasps out that Patty is trying to kill her. Meanwhile, Jack tries to rebuild his bond with the son he has missed. Phyllis and Diane square off as Phyllis wonders if Diane is actually here with Kyle to sabotage Jack’s marriage. Later, things between Phyllis and Diane escalate when Diane brings up the fact that Diane was able to give Jack a child when Phyllis wasn’t. Gloria helps Kevin make a video pleading for Jana’s safe return and any information that could bring her home safely. Meanwhile, Daisy goads Jana into saying exactly what she wants so that she can record it. Daisy tells Jana that she will make sure that Kevin stops looking for her. Nick confronts Sharon with Skye’s diary as proof of Adam’s lies. Sharon refuses to listen to Nick and asks him to leave but Nick won’t budge. Nick pleads with Sharon and finally reads her the pages that prove that Adam knew about Skye’s past with Taylor and Sharon is forced to face the truth. Later, Sharon is sickened by what she has read and Nick is tormented by what Adam has done to Sharon. Jack is gutted as he realizes how much of Kyle’s life he has missed out on. Meanwhile, Emily desperately tries to explain to Paul that she is Emily as Patty looks for a way out of the room. After Patty leaves, Paul tries to calm Emily down but Emily pleads with him to find Jack to no avail. Later, Patty’s façade starts to crack when she sees Phyllis and Diane together and the two women blend together in her mind. Jack and Kyle return home and Jack is alerted when he realizes that the two women are in the house alone. Inside, Jack intervenes with the two women and Phyllis lets herself out just as Patty tells Jack that Emily woke up. Kevin gets a lead on where Jana may be when Chance calls him to let him know that Jana’s credit card was used in Chicago. Meanwhile, Jana tries to reach out to Ryder but he tells her to just accept her fate. Later, Kevin gets a call from someone sounding like Jana who tells him to stop looking for her and Kevin immediately sets out to Chicago to find her. Sharon refuses to leave, determined to face Adam when he returns home, knowing that he will because he loves her. Later, Sharon leaves Adam a sweet message pleading with him to come home but after she hangs up it becomes clear that she is determined to get the truth from him. Emily continues to plead with Paul as she grows weaker from a sedative. Meanwhile, Diane and Kyle say their goodbyes to Jack and Patty as Patty tries desperately to keep her cool. Once they are gone, Jack thanks “Emily” for an amazing gift and Patty is stung. Later, Jack and Patty are growing intimate and Patty sends Jack upstairs in order to pull herself together and find her Emily persona again.

Tucker brings the photos that could prove his bribery back to Kay and tells her that his future in her hands and she opens up her home to her son. Tucker asks Kay to tell him about his father and they relive Kay and Jill’s past with Arthur. Meanwhile, Billy visits Cane in detention in the hopes that Cane will give him the dirt on Tucker that Kay has but Cane refuses to betray Kay’s trust for anyone. Later, Kay confesses that Tucker is not a lot like his father but instead much of his personality comes from her. Jill walks in and caught off guard to see the two together in conversation. Chloe and Amber wonder what is going on with Lauren when she gets annoyed with Amber over a minor incident at work. Meanwhile, Jana works to play on Ryder’s sympathies. In Chicago, Chance and Kevin get into the hotel room and find evidence that Jana was apparently there with a lover but Kevin refuses to believe it. Chance sets out to get a description of the woman using Jana’s credit cards, while Kevin tries not to lose his cool. Later, Jana pleads with Ryder to prove to Kevin that he is a good person and she shares with him her sorted past. Chloe and Amber are shocked when Lauren loses her cool with Amber and fires her. Meanwhile, Kevin refuses to leave Chicago without Jana, even when Chance tells him that the clerks at the stores I.D.’ed her as the person shopping. Jana has a chilling moment with Ryder when he confesses that Tom never laid a hand on him and she sees just how cold he can truly be. Later, Amber and Chloe call Lauren’s doctor for her just as Chance calls Chloe to fill her in on what they found in Chicago and Chloe starts to feel bad for Kevin. Billy tries to get Cane to cooperate by playing on his loyalty to Jill but Cane refuses to budge. Cane offers Billy some help on where to find the right information. Meanwhile, Jill tries to shake Tucker in order to slip him up but Kay catches on and makes it clear that Jill is merely chasing rumors. Later, Billy calls Jill to tell her what he learned and Jill tells him to meet her at the club. Kevin remains to convince that the hotel room was staged but Chance tells him that he has to get back to Genoa City. Kevin calls Jana’s cell to tell her that he will never stop looking for her and Ryder and Daisy get the message and wonder what to do next. Meanwhile, Lauren apologizes to Amber and tells her that she has her job back. On their way out, Amber assures Chloe that there is no way Jana would cheat on Kevin. Later, as Kevin, Amber and Chloe are discussing Jana, Chance arrives and tells them that Riggs’ death was ruled a suicide and there may be someone on the police force involved in his death. Tucker slowly starts to realize that there is more to Kay than he initially believed. Meanwhile, Billy and Jill stumble upon a painting in their research and start to wonder if they found what they have been looking for. As they are talking, Jill realizes the connection between the painting, Tucker and Thomas and just what Tucker was trying to hide. Lauren takes the medication that her doctor prescribed for her headaches and just before she washes them down, Daisy drugs Lauren’s water. Meanwhile, Jana finishes a goodbye letter to Kevin that Daisy and Ryder forced her to write. Kevin receives the letter and it breaks his heart but refuses to believe that Jana has left him.

Sharon continues to read Skye’s diary and finds out that Adam knew about Skye being molested by Dr. Taylor a long time ago. Angered, Sharon calls Adam, sounding concerned for his whereabouts, but really ready to take him on and find out the truth when and if Adam returns. Sharon lies down for a nap to gain her strength and composure. Ashley calls to check the results of the forensics test on the purple cloth and finds out that the results will not be ready until the morning. She also lies down to rest. Sharon, now dreaming wakes up in her dream and hears a baby crying in the distance. Sharon searches the hall for the baby then walks into another G.C.A.C. suite where she finds Skye playing cards on the bed. Sharon figures out who the girl is then Skye invites her to play cards for big stakes, the baby. Ashley, now dreaming wakes up in the living room when she hears a loud crack of thunder and lightning. Ashley grabs for Faith and discovers that it is just an empty blanket. She searches and is blocked by Adam at the stairs. A loud bang of thunder occurs and Ashley gets a small glimpse of Adam dressed up as Sabrina. Ashley becomes confused and Adam eerily tries to calm her telling her that he is her only friend. Sharon tries to reason with Skye who now turns into Phyllis. Phyllis lets Sharon know that she is the big winner in the end because she has Nick, and Sharon doesn’t. Ashley still searches for Faith and realizes that she cannot go up the stairs and gets a bad feeling that something happened at the stairs. Ashley’s dream continues and she ends up in the G.C.A.C. where she runs into Victor and asks him if he has seen Faith. Victor is puzzled when Ashley realizes she is holding on to the baby. Victor takes the baby from Ashley and he tells her that Faith cannot be with an unstable mother. Ashley goes to swipe the baby back from Victor and it is only a yellow blanket. (Like Robert) Ashley is devastated and runs into Jack, who she pleads to not have her locked up again. Sharon jolts and realizes that she is pregnant again, feeling the baby kick. Sharon’s guilt over lying to Jack about the paternity of the baby is also expressed in this scene resulting in Jack telling Sharon that she is getting everything she deserves. Ashley still cannot get up the stairs and is confused why. Jack sits next to her and tries to comfort her and get her to realize that the baby never made it. Jack tries to deal delicately with Ashley because he thinks she has lost it all over again. Sharon once again finds herself in the outside with Nick. The two of them are ecstatic that Sharon is pregnant again. Nick promises that this is how Cassie wanted things to end up and that once the baby comes things will be back to normal between Sharon and Nick. Adam appears and tries to convince Sharon that the baby is actually hers and his not hers and Nick’s. Sharon begins to get labor pains and Adam calls the doctor. Sharon is afraid of being trapped with Adam when she should be with Nick. Ashley wakes up from her dream to a phone call with the results from the forensic test. She finds out that they couldn’t get any DNA from the cloth but there was indeed blood on the cloth. Sharon wakes up with happy thoughts of Faith still being alive and her being with Nick. Sharon is confused and hopeful about her dream when suddenly Adam arrives at her door returning from his trip.

Victor arrives at the tack house and Phyllis and Nick tell him that Adam knew that Dr. Taylor molested Skye and Adam knew it when he recommended Taylor to Ashley as her OBGYN. Phyllis and Nick tell Victor that only Sharon knows they have the diary. Victor becomes enraged when Nick tells him that it must have been revenge that motivated Adam since the beginning. Neil arrives at the ranch and Ashley tells him that the forensics test proved there was blood on the purple cloth. Ashley finally has the beginning of the proof she needs against Adam. Neil advises Ashley that she should investigate and get some more solid evidence before they confront Adam. Neil suggests that they begin with talking to Heather. Adam returns and Sharon is distant yet firm when talking to him. Adam reveals that he needed to get away for a little bit and decided to go to his mom’s grave in Kansas for some guidance. Sharon reveals that she has read Skye’s diary and Adam is gut punched. Sharon yells at Adam who claims it is only a copy and tries to dodge any blame. Adam pleads that he thought if he told Sharon about Skye, that Sharon would leave him. Sharon is very emotional but realizes she cannot believe Adam anymore. She tells Adam they are over and leaves. Jill and Billy discover the connection between the paintings and Tucker’s blossoming music career because of bribes. Billy can’t understand why Kay wont use the photo evidence against Tucker and Jill tells him that if Kay won’t do it, they will help her along. Billy begins to work on the Tucker article and Jill says that she is going over to the mansion to talk some sense into Kay. Billy believes Kay won’t budge but Jill demands that they cannot blindside Kay with this article. Chloe arrives and warns Billy that he is making a mistake printing this article because Kay wants to make amends with Tucker not make things worse. Tucker, surprisingly, shows up at the Chancellor estate and tells Kay that he would like to give Kay a bigger voice in Chancellor Industries. Jill arrives at the mansion and Kay is furious that Jill is trying to get Kay against Tucker. Kay explodes when she realizes that Jill took the files Kay had at the mansion about Tucker. Kay tells Jill that if she really wants to show she cares for Kay she won’t use this information and take Tucker away from her. Jill tells Kay she will only throw the story away is if Tucker will make Kay an equal at Chancellor. Kay promises Jill that Tucker will come through and Jill calls Billy to cancel the story. Once gone, Jill sees Tucker and Kay embrace and she becomes crushed, calling Billy back to continue with the Tucker article. Chance and Chloe wait to meet with Sid on the Riggs case. Chance is sure that if Sid won’t look into the situation then he must be someone who Chance cannot trust. Sid meets with Chance and Chance expresses that he thinks Riggs death was not a suicide. Sid tells Chance to keep his hands clean but that he will begin to look into the situation. Chance also tells Sid about the death threat that he received. After the meeting, Chance and Chloe are almost hit by a car outside of the station. Heather tells Neil and Ashley that the evidence of the purple cloth is not nearly enough to actually investigate Adam since Ashley really was experiencing some psychiatric problems. Skye visits Adam in a daydream and Skye tells Adam he was stupid giving the diary to Dr. Taylor; Adam reveals that he is determined to not lose Sharon because this time it is different and he really does care for her. Sharon arrives at the Ranch and Phyllis, Nick, and Victor try to console Sharon who tells them she realizes she should not have trusted Adam in the first place. Victor finds out the Adam is back at the G.C.A.C. and he excuses himself from the crowd.

Lily tells Cane that if he ends up getting deported that she is going with him to Australia. However, Cane makes Lily see how much she has in Genoa City to stay for, including their twins. Jack surprises Patty with a garnet necklace, which is Kyle’s birthstone, and thanks her again for being so unselfish by reaching out to Diane to bring his son back into his life. Meanwhile, Emily continues to try and make Paul see that she isn’t Patty and even tells him that she can prove who she truly is. Later, Patty tries to study the ins and outs of psychiatry in order to better impersonate Emily but it all starts to become too much for her. Meanwhile, Emily does everything she can to try and convince Paul of who she truly is, going as far as to cut herself and insists to him to test her DNA. However, Paul, believing that Patty has truly lost it, merely throws the tissue away. Daisy makes a call about getting more liquid X just as Michael arrives at Fenmore’s to see Lauren after his search for Jana. Lauren pounces on him and Michael is caught off guard by her overtly sexually behavior toward him. Lauren shows Michael the pills the doctor prescribed for her headaches and he immediately calls to find out what they are. Michael learns from the doctor that the pills shouldn’t be altering Lauren’s mood but before he can figure out what is going on he is called away to deal with Cane’s case. Sharon shows Ashley Skye’s diary and realize that they finally have the proof they need to put Adam in jail for good and to figure out what he was really up to last summer. Meanwhile, Victor confronts Adam about not showing up at the Jabot hearing and while they are talking Adam realizes that Victor knows what Adam has done. Later, Ashley, Sharon and Jack work to put the pieces together and become frustrated as they realize that they are missing something. Michael arrives at Immigration to inform Cane and Lily that Cane’s hearing is today and that Lily won’t be allowed to attend. Lily is furious but Cane promises her that he will do everything in his power to stay with her. Meanwhile, Daisy spikes Lauren’s water with liquid X when its time for Lauren to take her medication. Adam threatens to expose Victor’s plan to steal Jabot from Jack and Victor offers to call his bluff. Adam, however, reminds Victor that it may in his best interest to protect Adam from all the people coming after him. Meanwhile, Sharon decides to move in with Ashley and promises not to say anything to Adam about what they have discovered until they can put all the pieces together. Later, as Adam and Victor are facing off, Sharon arrives and tells Adam she is there to pack. Paul goes to “Emily” for help with his sister and Patty is caught off guard when Paul tells him everything Emily said in the hospital but relieved when it becomes evident that Paul didn’t believe any of it. Paul asks her for her support in bringing “Patty” home with him but Patty, although touched by Paul’s love for her, refuses to let it affect her. Later, Patty goes to see Emily in the hospital and stages an altercation. The nurses come in and Emily ends up sedated. Lily is crushed when Cane tells her that he is being deported. Meanwhile, Michael goes to the store to look for Lauren but Lauren is at Jimmy’s with a despondent Paul who is telling her about “Patty.” A drugged Lauren, listens to Paul’s story and out of nowhere ends up kissing him and Paul finds himself responding to the kiss.

Adam tries to stop her but Sharon tells Adam that she is leaving him. Meanwhile, Jack and Ashley start to think that Adam’s plan was to steal Ashley’s baby but because of the night of the lockdown sent their plan into overdrive they had to take Sharon’s baby instead. Ashley wonders to Jack if Sharon’s baby is still alive somewhere.

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.
