Cody Rhodes Superkicks PRIME Bottle to Honor Kevin Owens After 7/19 WWE SmackDown

Cody Rhodes is the Undisputed WWE Champion and one of the most beloved babyfaces in all of pro wrestling, which is why it’s no surprise he honored Kevin Owens by superkicking a PRIME bottle after this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

The July 19, 2024, episode of Friday Night SmackDown was another challenging night for Cody Rhodes, following a tough week that began on July 12. That night, Rhodes witnessed his friend and mentor, Randy Orton, being taken out by The Bloodline.

This week, the situation worsened as The Bloodline executed a more devastating attack on Kevin Owens, leaving Cody totally alone ahead of his WWE Championship match against Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam.

After SmackDown went off the air, Cody Rhodes lightened the mood by playfully super-kicking a large Prime Bottle, joking that he might “lose” his sponsorship over it. He expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support during the double taping and paid tribute to his injured friend, Kevin Owens, who appears set to miss SummerSlam just like Randy Orton. It is to be noted that Kevin Owens always makes sure to knock over the PRIME bottles during a WWE show, showing his disdain for Logan Paul.

”I’m gonna do something in honor of Kevin Owens, who had quite the struggle this evening. I have nothing but love for my friend who had my back. Can you guys give me a drum roll? Well, there went my PRIME sponsorship.”

Tonga Loa also issued a warning to Kevin Owens after this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. We’ll have to see what will become of Rhodes as we slowly head towards SummerSlam on August 3rd since Rhodes is truly alone right now.
