Backstage Update on Kevin Owens After WWE SmackDown

by

As a long-time WWE enthusiast with countless hours spent analyzing every move and word spoken by my favorite superstars, I must say that the escalating feud between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes has been nothing short of captivating! The latest episode of SmackDown was particularly thrilling, with Owens’ rental car interview segment with Michael Cole becoming an instant classic.

As a passionate gamer, I’d put it this way: On the latest SmackDown, I, Kevin Owens, had some choice words for Cody Rhodes. The beef between us has been simmering for months now, really heating up since Cody decided to join forces with Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood 2024.

At WWE Bad Blood 2024, it was evident that Owens, who had previously kept quiet about the issue, was deeply displeased with Cody Rhodes’ choice. The tension between them escalated significantly after the event, culminating in a heated backstage confrontation. This altercation ended dramatically as Owens attacked Rhodes close to his bus, and the incident was caught on fan camera, showcasing the ensuing chaos.

Following the assault, Kevin Owens found himself consistently barred from appearing on WWE SmackDown. This led him to ponder if WWE was attempting to shield Cody Rhodes from any potential conflict between them. After enduring several months of tension, it has now been confirmed that they will face each other in a fight this weekend.

As a long-time wrestling fan and someone who has followed Cody Rhodes’ career since his early days in Ring of Honor, I am thrilled to see him holding the WWE Undisputed Title. This Saturday at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, he will defend it against Kevin Owens, a formidable opponent known for his charismatic personality and technical prowess.

During the performance, Owens asked Cole to hop into his car for a chat behind the scenes. In this conversation, Owens shared his perspective on the situation, which included some amusing incidents. Later, details emerged about what happened backstage following this part of the show.

The part where Owens asked Cole to leave the vehicle, then called him back before shutting the window, became popular on social media almost instantly.

At first, Owens departed from the arena following the segment, but then made an unanticipated comeback. Later on, he sprung a surprise assault on Cody Rhodes, focusing on Rhodes’ already injured ankle post his fight with Chad Gable. The ensuing altercation between these two prominent figures was massive, as officials struggled to intervene and separate them.
