WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event may have ended on a high note for Cody Rhodes, but the aftermath told a very different story. After successfully defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in a hard-fought battle, Rhodes was the target of a vicious post-show assault that left him stretchered out of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Following the dramatic conclusion of their main event match, Kevin Owens wasn’t ready to let things go. As the cameras stopped rolling, Owens ambushed Rhodes with a devastating pop-up powerbomb, leaving the champion crumpled on the outside of the ring. The attack was so severe that medical personnel rushed to the scene and eventually stretchered Cody out of the arena.
The shocking attack has only added more fire to their already intense rivalry. Earlier in the night, Rhodes retained his title in a controversial finish after multiple referee bumps and the use of a steel chair. While Rhodes managed to walk away victorious during the broadcast, Owens clearly made his mark in the aftermath, sending a loud message that this feud is far from over.
Fans in attendance captured the chaotic post-show scenes on their phones, flooding social media with footage of Cody being carried out by EMTs.
Cody Rhodes has been on a roll since winning the Undisputed WWE Championship earlier this year, fending off challengers like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. But with Owens refusing to back down and now resorting to outright brutality, Rhodes’ reign may face its toughest test yet.
