Emily realizes that Paul didn’t run the DNA panel and tries to convince him in other ways that she isn’t Patty but Paul refuses to believe it. Meanwhile, Adam tries to convince “Emily” that he is the victim and that the Newmans are out to get him but Patty remembers Adam’s plots and doesn’t buy a word of his story. Later, Patty listens to Adam’s story as he tells her that he is suicidal and tries to figure out how to use it to her advantage. Nick gets a call from the hospital telling him that Phyllis has been in an accident. Later, the doctor tells Nick, Sharon, Jack and Daniel that Phyllis fractured her leg and they are all confused when they learn that Phyllis was coming home from the Abbott cabin. Meanwhile, Victor gently pushes Ashley to go to the hospital with him in order to get the DNA test done as soon as possible. Cane shows up at Billy’s trailer asking for his help and tells Billy that Lily’s cancer is back. Later, Lily admits to her family that she lied about her PET scan results and that is why Cane escaped custody. Billy comes by the Immigration office and pretends not to know anything about Cane’s escape but manages to get Lily a message. After Lily leaves, Neil, Devon and Malcolm realize that Billy knows something about where Cane is. Nick realizes what Phyllis was doing at the Abbott cabin when he finds Faith’s plaque among her things. Nick tells everyone and Daniel becomes angry with him, unaware of the new circumstances surrounding Faith. Amber tries to stop him and Nick and Sharon tell him the truth. Ashley realizes that she has to do the DNA test tonight to stop from hurting any more people. Billy brings Lily to see Cane and Lily tells Cane that he has to turn himself in. Later, Devon calls Lily and she tells him where they are and promises that she will get Cane to turn himself in. Devon in turn tells Michael where they are, realizing the severity of the situation. Paul runs into “Emily” at the hospital and tells her to stay away from his sister. As Sharon runs into Patty and tells her that Jack is here, Adam hears Sharon’s voice and they finally come face to face. Later, Patty tells the group that she was appointed Adam’s psychiatrist and they are all shocked when she tells them that Adam may not be responsible for his actions. Meanwhile, Adam tries to manipulate Sharon by reminding her that he saved Noah’s life. Sharon begs Adam for the truth, believing that a part of Adam truly loved her but Adam swears on Hope’s grave that he knows nothing and that sends Sharon over the edge.

Patty goes to see Emily at the sanitarium and finally let down her guard until Paul arrives and tells her that he scheduled a hearing to keep “Emily” from treating “Patty” any longer. Meanwhile, Nick tells Phyllis that he is going to be her personal slave for a few weeks since she has always been there to support him. Later, Sharon and Ashley prepare to take the DNA test. Meanwhile, Patty decides to inject Emily with a stimulant so that Emily will be a basket case in court and Emily begins to panic knowing it could kill her.

Neil arrives at Billy’s trailer right before the Immigrations officers, who take Cane into custody as Lily cries out to Cane that she loves him. Later, Michael tells Lily that as long as she has cancer Cane won’t be deported. As Paul and Michael prepare for “Patty’s” hearing, they find Emily in a state of unrest and Emily tries to tell them that Patty drugged her. Meanwhile, Jack tries to convince “Emily” to let Patty go for her own sake as well as Patty’s but Patty refuses and goes off on Jack which catches him off guard. Later, Patty isn’t happy when she learns that Jack has been summoned to testify. Victoria tells Victor that J.T. is suing her for full custody of Reed. Meanwhile, J.T. admits to Mac that he wants to protect Reed but not at Victoria’s expense by painting her as a bad mother. Later, J.T. opens up to Mac about wanting to keep Victor out of Reed’s life as Victor promises Victoria that J.T. will not be allowed to take Reed away from her. Chance goes to see Adam to take his statement about the charges pending against him and Adam continues to maintain that he is the victim. Meanwhile, Jill starts trying to dig up dirt on Adam’s arrest, which is the last thing Billy wants. Billy refuses to let Jill exploit Ashley’s pain for Restless Style. Later, Adam tells Chance everything that happened in the cabin and Chance isn’t sure he can believe a word of it. At Restless Style, Chloe tries to get information out of Chance about their intimate night together but he gives nothing away. While Chloe is busy, Chance questions Billy about Adam’s accusations. Billy admits that a meeting took place but says that it was an intervention, not a kidnapping. Meanwhile, Jill goes to see Adam and he tells her about the kidnapping. Later, Chance is forced to spill his big plans to Billy when Chloe lets something slip and Billy enjoys giving Chance a hard time.

At the court room, Patty manages to convince the judge that “Patty” can’t see Jack for her own health. When Michael tells Emily, Emily realizes what Patty is up to. As Jack and Patty give testimony to the court, Emily pretends to be sick and then runs into the court yelling for Jack. As Emily tries to talk to Jack, the judge agrees with Patty and denies Paul’s petition to remove Patty from Emily’s case. Mac reminds J.T. what he is up against declaring war against the Newmans. Victoria, however, tells Victor to stay out of the fight between her and J.T. Later, Victor backs up Billy’s story with Chance and reminds Chance that Adam can’t be trusted. Meanwhile, Adam throws away his annulment papers. Billy runs into Victoria who tells him about J.T. suing for custody because of what happened at the cabin and Billy starts to worry about what J.T. may say to the police. At Restless Style, Jill starts writing her article on Adam. Michael refuses to give up on “Patty’s” case, telling Paul that “Emily” has zero objectivity and now even Jack knows it. Meanwhile, Jack starts to wonder about “Patty” after the events in the court room. Alone, Emily finally breaks down. Kevin pushes Lauren to tell Michael the truth about the photos and Paul as Daisy eavesdrops on them. Paul arrives and Lauren shows him the photos and Paul realizes that they have to take to Michael before someone else gets the chance. Meanwhile, Jana continues to have faith that Kevin won’t give up on her. Later, Gloria tries to set Kevin up on a blind date to get his mind off Jana. Kevin tells Gloria that Jana is still his wife.

Victor and Jack meet with Kay and Neil to tell Kay that they intend on giving Kay back control of Jabot. Kay, however, tells them that it isn’t a good idea. Meanwhile, Tucker stops by to check in on Ashley and Ashley admits to him that Faith may not be her daughter and that she may be running out of time to capture of the memories of her daughter. Tucker offers to help Ashley make a video of her and Faith together. Later, Kay explains everything that happened with Tucker and Victor and Jack offer to gift Jabot back to her so that Tucker can’t touch it but Kay refuses to take charity from them. Daisy taunts Jana by telling her that Kevin is going on a date and that she is going to destroy Michael and Lauren’s marriage next. Meanwhile, Lauren and Paul prepare themselves to tell Michael what happened the night of their encounter. Later, Jack, Victor and Michael offer Kay another option – a tax shelter for Jabot that won’t burden any of them as Kay had worried. Kay graciously accepts and as Michael is giving them all the contracts they find inside photos of Lauren and Paul, which shocks them, especially Michael. Neil advises Michael not to do anything rash until he has spoken to Lauren and heard the truth. Meanwhile, Lauren and Paul try to get to the bottom of Lauren’s mood swings and what has been causing them. In front of Daisy and Ryder, Jana pretends to finally be broken and lost at the thought of losing Kevin but after they leave Jana’s demeanor changes and works on strategizing a plan of escape. Meanwhile, Gloria tries to help Kevin remember what it is like to live life without Jana. Later, Jana manages to break the lock on her cage. As Ashley is playing with Faith, Tucker watches them interact and sees how much she loves her daughter. Ashley finally loses her composure and Tucker moves in to comfort her. Moments later, while Ashley is out of the room, Neil arrives to find Tucker there. Tucker leaves but Neil still wonders what was going on. Later, Tucker confronts Kay, Jack and Victor about their meeting regarding Jabot to inform them that he wants Jabot for himself and he plans to get it. Michael confronts Paul and Lauren with the photos and throws Paul out of Lauren’s office. Meanwhile, Kevin agrees to go on the blind date. Daisy and Ryder come back to find Jana gone and Daisy orders Ryder to find her immediately. Later, just as Jana is desperately trying to escape and it looks like she may make it she makes a wrong turn and slams directly into Ryder.

Adam calls Victor to tell him about the article on RestlessStyle.com; Victor tells Jill she’ll regret it if she printed any of Adam’s lies. Meanwhile, a furious Billy tries to delete Jill’s article when Jack arrives to confront him. Billy swears to Jack that the article was all Jill’s doing but Jack is hard pressed to believe him. Victor lays into Billy about the article, but also blames Jack; Jill arrives and tells them she’s responsible for the article. Jill accuses Jack and Victor of being hypocrites. Victor makes it clear that Billy should never let the article see the light of day and that Jack shouldn’t have involved Billy in the first place. Jack tells Jill that Adam manipulated her; Billy tells her he was at the cabin too, a fact Adam conveniently left out. Jack tells Billy he has to fire Jill, but he doesn’t. Billy tells Jill she will be out if she pulls another stunt like the article again. Victor confronts Adam about the lies in the article and tells him that what happened at the cabin was for Adam’s own good – it was a chance for him to come clean. Victor tells Adam because of his lies he’ll find himself in an even deeper grave, a statement a passing nurse hears. Victor tells Adam he’s done all he can for him and only God can help him now; Victor walks out on his son. Jana pleads with Ryder to let her go but Daisy arrives and tells Jana that Kevin is out on a date. Meanwhile, Kevin and his date, Allison, readily admit how awkward their blind date is just as Gloria and Jeff watch from the shadows to see how things are going. Later, things between Kevin and Allison seem to be going well until he lets it slip that he is married. Kevin admits that he has no idea why Jana left him but all he can do now is move on. Kevin tells Allison about his relationship with Jana; he comes to a realization that it can’t be over. Kevin tells Gloria and Jeffrey he’s not giving up on Jana, ever.

Jeffrey teases Gloria about her wanting to spend more time with Tucker; she simply wants to keep her business options open. When Gloria sees that Kevin’s date has hit a rough patch, she plans to swoop in and rescue him, but Jeffrey goes instead. Jeffrey hits on Allison which riles Gloria. Gloria thinks she’ll be able to find another girl for Kevin at the policeman’s ball. Jeffrey suggests Gloria take Tucker as her date, but Gloria won’t consider leaving Jeffrey on his own because he’ll go after Allison. In Lauren’s office, Lauren explains to Michael that she was drugged and that is why she ended up with Paul, and assures him they didn’t make love. Michael promises her that they will find out who is behind this. They learn that the tests Paul ran on Lauren’s pill turned up negative – they were not tampered with. Michael starts to get a headache and it starts to dawn on them that something at Fenmore’s may be making Lauren sick. From the coffeehouse, Michael arranges for a toxicity test on Lauren’s office. Lauren suspects that Sheila is behind everything, but Michael assures her that Sheila is dead. Michael reveals that there are toxic fumes in Lauren’s office coming from the wallpaper glue. They discuss possible culprits and zero in on Daisy. Michael gets confirmation from Mac that Daisy was at the bar taking pictures. Daisy tells Lauren she did take the pictures, but her camera was stolen and points the finger at Ryder. Lauren sends Daisy on her way; she and Michael discuss Daisy’s accusations. Daisy tries to force Jana into a crate; after Daisy leaves, Ryder tells Jana that if she will be quiet he won’t force her into the crate. Ryder admits he’s not okay with what they’re doing to Jana. Ryder is stunned when a mystery woman arrives and forces him to put Jana into the crate. Inside the crate, Jana pulls out a screwdriver she was able to hide.

Phyllis is glad Nick’s making time to see Summer before heading over to Ashley’s. Phyllis is supportive of Nick while he waits for the D.N.A. test results. Nick is sympathetic towards Ashley and Victor because they may be losing a child. Phyllis and Nick declare their love for each other before he departs. Sharon lets Victor know how sorry she is about the baby situation. Ashley holds Faith, tells her she hopes that the test proves Ashley is her mother, but knows she’ll have a wonderful life with Nick and Sharon if they’re her parents. Ashley, Billy, Victoria, Sharon, Nick, Victor and Jack gather for the D.N.A. test results. Results show that Faith is Nick and Sharon’s daughter. Family and friends support Ashley as she hands Faith over to Sharon and Nick. Jack helps Ashley who’s grieving for the baby she’s lost. Nick and Sharon take Faith to the ranch. Victor and Nikki watch as they bond with their baby; Sharon and Nick are thankful for the miracle that brought them all together. Victoria shows Victor/Nikki/Sharon a newspaper article about Adam’s “intervention”. Ashley confronts Billy about the article; he tells her Jill went behind his back and wrote it. Billy tries to apologize but Ashley won’t have it. Victor blames Billy for the article reaching the mainstream press. Victoria notes that Billy’s name isn’t mentioned in the article. Sharon is upset that Ashley has to endure the public scrutiny. Sharon calls Nick, informs him of the article; Nick informs Phyllis. Victoria and Billy argue about the article and his hatred of her family. Billy tells her he likes her and surprises her with a kiss. Patty writes in her diary about missing Jack. Patty expresses her upset to Jack that he’s spending so much time with Ashley; when he balks at her lack of support, she backtracks. When Jack exits without forgiving her, Patty places the blame on Adam, and is glad he’s “Emily’s” patient. Jack goes to Phyllis and discusses Emily’s strange behavior. Phyllis thinks that Jack may have rushed into marriage, unaware that Patty is listening at the door. Patty stands over a sleeping Phyllis, whispers to herself that it’s time to stop Phyllis’ interference in her marriage. Patty conducts Adam’s evaluation and surmises that he’s been faking his psychotic break. Patty tells Adam she’s going to recommend incarceration pending trial. Adam accuses Emily of being unprofessional and slighting Adam because she’s obsessed with Jack, which she denies. Later, Adam remembers Emily’s words about being obsessed with Jack and realizes that Mary Jane said the exact same words about Jack; Adam realizes that Emily is really Patty! Chance and Chloe are in New York for a romantic getaway. Chance explains that he has lots of surprises for her all of which will culminate with their making love for the first time. Chloe is impressed with the arrangements Chance has made. Chance and Chloe are stuck in a traffic jam in the rain and trapped in a cab – so much for their romantic evening. The cabbie lectures them on patience, but Chloe thinks if he knew how long she’s waited for this night, he’d understand a lot better. Chloe is disappointed that their night was ruined, but Chance says there’s one surprise he can spring on her in the cab: he takes out a ring and proposes to Chloe. Nikki visits Phyllis; they commiserate over the situation with Faith. Nikki assures Phyllis that Nick loves her, and if they’re meant to be together, they will be; Phyllis tells Nikki she’s going to fight for her marriage.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Christian Howard Makes One Final Return as Ethan Lovett, as Hudson Learns Damning Intel

Published

on

By

The Tuesday, August 4 episode of General Hospital brought with it another appearance by Christian Howard in the role of Ethan Lovett. As previously reported, Howard was brought into wrap up Ethan’s storyline as Nathan Dean’s four-month run with the show came to its conclusion.

Now, it has been 100% officially confirmed that today was the last episode of Howard as the recast Ethan. In story, Ethan was now seen in Oslo, Norway after hightailing it out of Port Charles after Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) had showed up looking for him at the Metro Court pool in Port Charles.

On the July 31st episode, Ethan made a beeline to Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) grabbed his bags and headed out of the country without saying goodbye to Ava (Maura West), who he just had spent the night with.

However, on Tuesday’s GH, it was also the day where Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) finalized baby Phoebe’s adoption for Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard). This was juxtaposed with the action in Oslo where Hudson showed up at Ethan’s hotel room door. He demanded immediate answers about Delilah and the baby. Ethan told him that both Delilah and the baby she carried died.

ETHAN’S LIES CATCH UP TO HIM

Hudson is livid. The two get into multiple altercations with Hudson getting the upper hand claiming that Ethan is a thief, who had “stolen from the wrong man.” At that point, Hudson delivered a beatdown on Ethan. Next, he threatened Ethan that he will go after his entire family if he finds out he was lying to him.

Back in Port Charles at the Metro Court pool, Ava is lamenting about Ethan’s sudden disappearance to Trina (Tabyana Ali). Later alone, she gets a call from Ethan telling her to never reveal that he’s not Phoebe’s biological father. Cut to: Hudson out in the hotel hallway listening in on the call through a bug he planted in Ethan’s hotel room. Hudson then takes off. The final moment of Ethan’s is him sprawled out bloody on top of the hotel bed.

A GH rep told Soap Opera Digest that “the door is open for Ethan to return to Port Charles” in the future. And as previously reported by TV Insider, when Nathan Dean signed on for his four month return, it was due in part to that he and his wife announced back in March they were expecting a baby.

So, now that Christian Howard has officially exited the series marking the end of the story for now of Ethan Lovett, what are your thoughts? Obviously, we will look for Hudson to return to Port Charles and infiltrate the Quartermaines lives especially Brook Lynn and Chase to get close to Phoebe, and then there is Ava, who may be in terrible danger, or is she? Share your thoughts and theories.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Walks Away From The Mob After 30 Years; Steve Burton and Maurice Benard Deliver Emotional Moments

Published

on

By

Steve Burton

Is this the end of an era? It certainly looks like it after Jason (Steve Burton) explained to Sonny (Maurice Benard), why he can no longer work for him, and be his right hand enforcer for his organization on the Monday, August 3 episode of General Hospital.

In story, Jason filled Sonny in on everything that went down before he was taken into custody by the WSB including: his opportunity to kill Cullum, Rocco shooting Cullum on the pier, being carted off to Jakarta, and watching his son, Danny, who now only has one parent (since his mother, Sam McCall died in 2024) suffer the consequences of his actions. Jason made clear to Sonny he must be there for his son now and needs to set a better example for him.

As emotional Jason is trying to get the words out and becomes overwhelmed with sadness, because he is truly caught between his son and the man that changed his life after Jason sustained longstanding brain damage from being injured in the car crash nearly 30 years ago in 1996.

Jason recounts to Sonny what led him to this decision, “The WSB’s taking me in. They throw me shackles and then they force me in the back of a transport. Danny was there. He’s pounding on the door. Tears in his eyes screaming that what they’re doing to me is wrong. They just can’t take me off. I’m sitting there wondering, ‘What the hell have I done to my kid?’ His mom’s dead. I’m going to prison if I’m lucky. Something just breaks inside of me.”

“So, I promised myself, I got to do better,” continued Jason. “I failed my son too many times and I can’t do it again. If I keep working for you, then I’m going to make sure that your security’s my priority and not Danny. It’s not fair to you to keep me on when I can’t do the things I used to. I can’t kill for you again. I got to stop doing what I’m doing so Danny doesn’t follow in my footsteps.”

Next, Sonny lets Jason know Danny had already tried to join the mob in his absence, and that he knew Jason wouldn’t want Danny in this life, just like he would not want his own children. Jason thanks Sonny for handling the situation. He adds, “I just have a few years before Danny’s going to be out on his own. This my last chance to be a true father to him before he doesn’t even need me anymore. I’m out.”

Sonny gives Jason his blessing with tears streaming down his face, and tells Jason they will always be brothers, and they share a hug, before Jason exits.

Applause to Steve Burton who played the scenes beautifully, and Maurice Benard, who reminded us why the longstanding relationship between Jason and Sonny has been one of the all-time best and one of the cornerstones of three decades of GH. Burton should remember these scenes for potential inclusion for his Emmy reel for 2027.

So, what did you think of the scenes where Jason tells Sonny why he is leaving the mob and can’t work for him anymore? Do you think it will stick? In the past, these two have found themselves, often having to face a common enemy back working together and Jason goes right as Sonny’s enforcer? Were you moved by Steve and Maurice’s performances in the scenes? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

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.
