Kevin Owens’ Heartfelt Promo
One of the most impactful moments from this week’s WWE programming was Kevin Owens’s emotional promo about his mother’s health during SmackDown. The promo resonated deeply with the audience and the hosts.
It was a very emotional promo from Kevin Owens. He talked about his mom in the hospital, saying how she’s been fighting and would want him to be at SmackDown,” Dave Simon recounted.
Johnny North added, “I hope she pulls through. Kevin Owens’ promo was the highlight of SmackDown, a real heartfelt moment.”
In addition to Owens’ powerful segment, SmackDown also featured the crowning of new tag team champions, although this was overshadowed by Owens’ emotional message. The reaction from the audience was mixed, with some fans expressing their concerns and support.
Weekly Highlights: WWE and AEW
SmackDown’s Mixed Reception
While Kevin Owens stole the spotlight on SmackDown, the overall reception of the show was lukewarm. Audience member Antoinette commented, “SmackDown was not the best, not the greatest. Money in the Bank better be better.
Dave and Johnny echoed these sentiments, agreeing that the show’s matches and segments were underwhelming compared to previous weeks.
AEW’s Ongoing Storylines
In AEW, the storylines continue to evolve, with notable developments in various feuds. The tension between factions and individual wrestlers remains high, setting the stage for exciting matches in the coming weeks.

Dave Simon is confident in Drew McIntyre’s chances, predicting, “If Drew doesn’t win, it’s because CM Punk has done something to him.” Johnny North agreed, adding, “I think Drew will win and try to cash in the same night, but Punk will screw it up.

There’s a moment every longtime fan reaches when they look at the thing they love and ask if they still recognize it. After the UFC White House card, that moment has arrived. The fights delivered — Gaethje upset Topuria, Gane stopped Pereira — but the political pageantry, the post-fight comments from fighters like Josh Hokit, and the sense that the brand has swallowed the fighters left a taste that’s hard to wash out. We trace the lost era of respect embodied by Georges St-Pierre, Lyoto Machida, and Demian Maia, the Conor McGregor effect that rewired the culture, the risk of going “mainstream, mainstream,” and what the future of MMA coverage looks like on the Ringside Report Network as the weekly show retools.
Both King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring finals are locked for WWE Night of Champions 2026: Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso and Liv Morgan vs. Iyo Sky, plus a Cody-Gunther-Sami triple threat. But every meaningful thread keeps bending back toward Roman Reigns and the OTC. We break it all down.
The WWE King of the Ring 2026 semifinals are locked in, with Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans, Jey Uso, Iyo Sky and more left standing. But every meaningful thread keeps bending back toward Roman Reigns and the OTC. We break down the bracket, the Cody-Gunther title twist, CM Punk, and AEW’s war.
The UFC’s White House card is built backwards — the American headliner is a massive underdog on the most patriotic stage in sports. Our full UFC Freedom 250 predictions cover all seven fights: the chin question deciding Topuria vs Gaethje, the Pereira-Gane pick’em, and a Canadian dog at +320.
