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.”

The road to WWE Backlash 2026 just got a lot clearer. Jacob Fatu delivered the most important win of his WWE career Friday night — a clean SmackDown main event victory over Solo Sikoa that makes the Roman Reigns title match feel inevitable.
