Cody Rhodes wants a piece of Kevin Owens after he put Randy Orton out of action. The two are in the middle of quite a storyline, and things are escalating quickly.
Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens were set to have a face-to-face segment during the November 22 episode of WWE SmackDown. Prior to going out to the ring, Cody was told by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis that Kevin Owens wasn’t in the building for this week’s show.
The American Nightmare didn’t buy it, so he went to the ring to call out Kevin Owens. He started to taunt Owens, and then the Prizefighter entered the arena through the crowd to cut a promo on Rhodes.
Kevin Owens mocked Cody Rhodes, because he can’t deny Rhodes’ request. Owens was even wearing a cut-off tuxedo t-shirt. He made a comment about how he dressed for his best as well.
Cody wanted Owens in the ring, but Kevin wasn’t about to make his way to the ring. Then, Cody tried to go to Owens, but security stopped him from making his way through the crowd to get his hands on his former friend.
Kevin Owens said that whatever happened to Randy Orton was Cody Rhodes’ fault. After all, Owens laid Orton out with a piledriver during the November 8 episode of SmackDown, and he’s been out of action since then.
Owens made his way to the announce table, where he stood on the furniture and continued to cut a promo on Cody. Kevin Owens blamed Cody for everything bad that’s happened as he cited examples in recent memory.
Finally, Cody Rhodes cut Kevin Owens off and said, “enough!” Then he “called this for what this actually is,” because teaming with Roman Reigns had nothing to do with why Kevin Owens decided to play victim once again. Then Rhodes said, “nobody holds Kevin Owens down more than Kevin Owens.”
Cody brought up Bash in Berlin, and how Kevin Owens couldn’t beat him for his title. He brought up how Kevin Owens used the piledriver, a move that’s ended lives, and he continued to press KO on when they could have their next match. He said a match is coming, and the ball is in Owens’ court.
Finally, Kevin Owens told Cody that he’ll get a match “when I say it’s happening.” This upset Cody to the point that he tore his shirt off. Then Owens said whenever their match does happen, then he’s just going to be doing his job. The segment ended with Kevin Owens telling Cody Rhodes that he hates him, but the American Nightmare fired back that Owens hates himself instead.
