OMG, EJ Was Shot Because He Set It Up | Days of Our Lives Spoilers

Salem is no stranger to scandals, secrets, and sabotage—but what’s unraveling now could blow the lid off everything we thought we knew. The spotlight is on EJ DiMera, the infamous and cunning heir to the DiMera legacy, who now lies unconscious in a hospital bed after being mysteriously shot. But whispers around town suggest this wasn’t your typical crime of passion. Could EJ have staged his own shooting?

That’s right—this isn’t just another Salem mystery. This is personal. This is DiMera-level strategic. And if the rumors are true, this twisted scheme was orchestrated by EJ himself.

The night of the incident shook the entire town. A single gunshot pierced the silence of the DiMera mansion. EJ was discovered lying on the floor, blood surrounding him, his body lifeless. Authorities rushed in, suspects were rounded up, but answers? Nowhere in sight. Until now.

New developments reveal EJ is beginning to regain consciousness. Subtle signs—twitching fingers, fluttering eyelids—hint that when he finally opens his eyes, he might not be waking up as a victim… but as a mastermind. And that revelation could change everything.

You see, EJ DiMera doesn’t take betrayal lightly. Over the years, he’s built a long list of enemies—some open, some hiding behind smiles. But names like Gabi Hernandez, Rafe Hernandez, and Kate Roberts rise to the top of that list. Each of them has crossed EJ in ways that cut deep. And perhaps, the final straw came when EJ’s own son, Johnny, discovered the heartbreaking truth behind his conception—an ugly secret that nearly destroyed the DiMera family.

That kind of humiliation? EJ doesn’t forget it. He calculates his revenge. And some fans believe he saw the perfect opportunity: frame one of his enemies in a shooting he controlled from the very beginning. What better way to eliminate your adversaries than by making them appear guilty of a crime you engineered?

Not a fatal wound—just enough to look real. Just enough to incite fear. Enough to launch a media frenzy. Enough to set the town abuzz and the police on high alert. And when EJ opens his eyes and finally speaks… he’ll name the shooter. But will it be the truth? Or the next move in his elaborate game?

Imagine this: EJ awakens not dazed, not confused—but composed and determined. He’s ready with a story, a crafted tale to take down the person who hurt him the most. Maybe he points to Gabi, claiming a business deal gone wrong led her to snap. Or perhaps he accuses Rafe, suggesting his loyalty to his sister made him pull the trigger. Then there’s Kate. Could EJ accuse her of desperation? Fear? Knowledge of a secret only the two of them shared?

Whether it’s fact or fiction, EJ doesn’t need the truth on his side—he just needs control. And by painting himself as the victim, he might regain his power, rewrite the narrative, and even send an innocent person to prison. Classic DiMera style.

But what about Johnny? Let’s not forget that EJ’s own son turned against him when the truth about EJ and Sami’s past exploded. That betrayal stung more than any bullet ever could. And the question now is—who told Johnny? Who shattered his image of his father? EJ thinks he knows. And if he’s right, someone close to him might soon find themselves in the crosshairs.

What if, in a cruel twist of fate, Johnny himself wanted EJ gone? What if he had a hand in what happened that night? Could the one person EJ still trusted be the one who set him up?

The plan may have been brilliant… but it might also be dangerously fragile.

As EJ regains consciousness, Salem is on high alert. The DA is closely watching. The Salem PD is ready to reopen the investigation. Families are fracturing. Friends are choosing sides. The dominoes are lined up—and all it takes is one accusation to knock them down.

If EJ blames Gabi, will Stefan defend her? Or will he sacrifice her to protect himself? If Rafe is named, will he stand and fight or disappear into the shadows? And if Kate becomes the scapegoat, what secrets might she reveal to save her own skin?

And here’s the big one—what if the truth gets out? What if EJ really did set this up? Will Salem ever forgive him? Or will the entire plan implode, taking EJ down with it?

We’re teetering on the edge of an explosive new chapter in the DiMera dynasty. Will EJ rise as the ultimate puppet master, crushing his enemies one by one? Or has he written a script even he can’t survive?

One thing’s for sure—when EJ opens his mouth, Salem won’t know what hit it.
