WWE Saturday Night Main Event: Full Recap And Highlights
WWE did a great job with Saturday Night's Main Event. It felt like an episode of Raw or SmackDown on steroids, and it went much deeper than I expected.
Here's what happened.
I had no interest in the winner of this match; I was waiting to see what the payoff would be, and it was worth the wait. We found out who Paul Heyman's third man would be, and it was Bronson Reed.
In fact, it appears Rollins was the orchestrator of this union, which adds even more depth. Reed showed up and wrecked Punk with a Tsunami. Punk's sells were stellar too. Overall, this was an excellent opener to the show.
I'm not gonna lie; I thought Vega was going to lose the title here. She didn't. Vega retained her title with a Super Code Red for the clean victory.
Green is still awesome, and she worked through a busted nose at the end of the match. This was easily the weakest match of the night, but it is good to see Vega's reign last a bit longer.
While short, this match was one of the highlights of the evening. Cena came out wearing his Farewell Tour garb, but in Tampa Bay Buccaneers colors. R-Truth followed him rocking a makeshift version of Cena's classic T-shirt—only it was an image of him on it and it said 'Ron' Cena.
Truth came out to Cena's signature music, did his entrance, and during the match landed a 5-Knuckle Shuffle and an Attitude Adjustment.
Cena got the win when he kicked Truth below the belt and landed his own AA. It was a great segment.
If this is the end of the Priest-McIntyre feud, it was a violent conclusion. There were several hellacious spots, but the final blow was a concerto from Priest. He exited the cage while McIntyre sold the severity of the spot perfectly.
Jesse Ventura was doing color commentating on the match, and it was pretty brutal. He didn't seem to know that the rules for a steel cage match are different today than they were in the 1980s.
There were several other disconnected portions of the audio, thanks to his input.
To close out the night, Uso retained his title, but not before Cena showed up and tried to help Paul win the title.
When it looked like Cena had the tables turned in Paul's favor, Cody Rhodes' music hit and he came to the rescue. Rhodes then appeared to lock in a tag team match between him and Uso vs. Cena and Paul at Money in the Bank.
I like the idea of Cena attempting to ruin wrestling by letting a YouTuber win the world title. Despite Rhodes' save on Saturday night, it feels like something that will happen at some point this year.

It ended with a messy but funny mishap. Jey Uso Drops The Birthday Cake Jey Uso was holding a birthday cake for Rhodes. After Cody blew out the candles, Jey lifted the cake high but lost his balance. He then accidentally dropped the cake upside down on the ring mat. Both superstars had a great reaction to the botch. I'm crying... Jey Uso botched Cody Rhodes' birthday cake celebration 😭 — EliteRockerz 𝕏 (@EliteClubS0B) July 1, 2025 They laughed and ran away from the mess.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - JANUARY 25: Jey Uso; Cody Rhodes and Gabriel Inglesias in ring during Saturday Night's Main Event at Frost Bank Center on January 25, 2025 in San Antonio, Texas. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation What's Next For The Two Stars This was a lighthearted moment for two of Raw's top babyfaces. Both men have major programs on television. Cody Rhodes won the 2025 King of the Ring tournament. He is now set to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Jey Uso recently came to the aid of Sami Zayn and Penta. This suggests he may be entering a feud with the powerful duo of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. In 2013, Jey, as part of The Shield, acted as an enforcer for The Authority and was an antagonist to the Rhodes family. This culminated in an emotional match at the Battleground pay-per-view, where Cody and his brother Goldust defeated The Shield to win back their jobs. Weeks later on Raw, the Rhodes brothers defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns again to become the WWE Tag Team Champions. A decade later, their roles reversed. After Jey left The Bloodline, Cody was instrumental in bringing him to Raw for a fresh start in 2023. This new friendship led them to form a popular tag team, and they defeated The Judgment Day at Fastlane to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. They have remained close allies on Raw ever since. In fact, it was Rhodes who beat Jey in the King of the Ring semifinals to advance before winning the tournament.

8 Ways to Enjoy S'mores Without a Campfire
Bring the taste of summer inside with these delicious s'mores-inspired desserts. Melissa Clark's oven s'mores. Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. Published July 1, 2025 Updated July 1, 2025 There's something so nostalgic (and messy!) about the combination of toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, graham crackers. But you don't need a campfire to satisfy that s'mores craving. Below are eight desserts that capture their essence, no outdoor flames necessary. Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Erin Jeanne McDowell. These ooey-gooey blondies deliver on the promise of s'mores tenfold. Erin Jeanne McDowell replaces some of the flour in the chocolate-studded base with graham cracker crumbs. Before the blondies are done baking, they're topped with a layer of mini marshmallows and more chocolate — which is lightly toasted and melted in the best way. Recipe: S'mores Blondies Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. For a showstopping dessert that will impress your guests, look no further than this stunning tart from Melissa Clark. The foundation is a buttery, homemade graham cracker crust filled with chocolate ganache that's firm enough to slice but evokes the usual melted chocolate. On top, sits a swirly mountain of meringue that's torched until golden brown. Recipe: S'mores Tart Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Styling by Barrett Washburne. This Ali Slagle recipe is a brilliant mash-up of two marshmallow-forward desserts: Rice Krispies treats and s'mores. In her genius creation, browned butter accentuates the toastiness of broiled marshmallows, which are tossed with graham cracker cereal and chocolate chips. Recipe: S'mores Crispy Treats Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Yossy Arefi 'I made this cake as a fun vacation project and it got rave reviews!!' one reader wrote. If you're looking for an ambitious baking project — and like receiving praise — Yossy Arefi's gorgeous cake is for you. Toasted marshmallow buttercream and graham cracker crumbles are sandwiched between layers of moist, chocolate sour cream cake. It's more than worth the effort. Recipe: S'mores Layer Cake Bryan Gardner for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. What if, instead of graham crackers, you used actual bread? Ali Slagle did, and it's delicious. While you could use any sliced bread, she recommends cinnamon swirl to get that toasty graham cracker flavor. Tip: Sprinkling salt on top keeps the sandwich from being cloyingly sweet. Recipe: Grilled S'mores Sandwiches Mark Weinberg for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Yossy Arefi Eric Kim's fudgy s'mores bars taste best chilled, straight out of the refrigerator, but they're also great microwaved for 10 seconds until the centers turn gooey. Recipe: S'mores Brownies Craig Lee for The New York Times This travel-friendly pie from Allison Kave, adapted by Christine Muhlke, features chocolate pudding nestled in a graham cracker crust. It's all topped with a blanket of homemade marshmallow browned to perfection. Recipe: S'mores Pie Johnny Miller for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Samantha Seneviratne. Sometimes, simplest is best. This easy broiler version from Melissa Clark can be ready in about 10 minutes, start to finish. For those who like to buck tradition, feel free to swap out different cookies for the graham crackers like gingersnaps, shortbread, chocolate wafer cookies, or a salty crackers like Ritz and Saltines. Recipe: Oven S'mores

'Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure Of Foggy Mountain' Blu-Ray Review - An Outrageously Funny Journey
John Goodman narrates the raucously funny adventures of Ben, Martin, and John, three childhood friends turned deadbeat coworkers who fend off hairless bears, conniving park rangers (Meg Stalter of Hacks and X Mayo of The Blackening), and a hypocritical cult leader (Bowen Yang of Saturday Night Live) to track down a priceless treasure, only to discover that finding the treasure is the easiest part of their journey. Oh, and Conan O'Brien (Conan) plays Ben's dad in it. This buddy comedy is directed by Paul Briganti (Saturday Night Live) and produced by Judd Apatow (Superbad) and Jimmy Miller (Bad Teacher). Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall — aka the Please Don't Destroy guys — lend their acting chops in addition to writing and executive producing the film. For in-depth thoughts on Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, please see my colleague Larry Fried's review from its original streaming release here. Video Quality Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain comes to Blu-Ray in a 1080p presentation that brings everything to life as desired. The film presents the hues on display in the natural foliage, lighting and clothing with the proper depth and accuracy. This is a film with a natural color palette that is reproduced perfectly with an entrancing radiance. The skin tones look very detailed and natural throughout the ensemble. The highlights are handled skillfully, and the deep blacks do not appear to suffer from any compression artifacts. This is a story filled with shots where you can see an incredible amount of detail. During the journey, there is a constant supply of imagery that provides a nice reference to showcase the depth at play. There are no serious signs of any noise or other such digital nuisances outside of some fleeting banding. This presentation holds up very well. Audio Quality The Blu-Ray disc comes with a DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track that represents this one without a hiccup. Dialogue comes through crisp and clear without ever being drowned out by the environmental effects or the score. There are a handful of bustling moments that give the track more of an exciting presence, but the hilarious exchanges are the focus. The music is showcased impeccably here with an immersive use of the surround speakers. The sound design is deftly deployed with all of the sounds positioned just right in the mix. The environmental effects create a robust soundscape of straightforward and heightened cinematic flourishes. Activity in the low end knows when to spring to life for a few key moments. This is an ideal release that brings the movie to life in a splendid way. Optional English SDH subtitles provided. Special Features Audio Commentary: Director Paul Briganti and Actors/Co-Writers Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall provide a lively and informative commentary track in which they discuss some secrets of the production, parts that they had to cut down, friends who are in the movie in small roles, the evolution of certain moments, and more. Deleted Scenes: There are nearly four minutes of unused material provided here. Gag Reel: A three-minute collection of flubbed lines, malfunctioning props, laughing fits, and more. Final Thoughts Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is an outrageously funny feature film that is stacked wall-to-wall with clever and absurd jokes. There are tons of funny character actors populating the ensemble, but the story keeps the focus on the core trio, and it works all the better for it. The beginning of the third act begins to feel a bit tedious, yet the overall experience is so much fun. This one feels destined for a cult following in the future. Shout! Studios has given this film a Blu-Ray with a terrific A/V presentation and a great selection of features. Highly Recommended Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is currently available to purchase on Blu-Ray. Note: Images presented in this review are not reflective of the image quality of the Blu-Ray. Disclaimer: Shout! Studios has supplied a copy of this disc free of charge for review purposes.
