WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event left fans in shock after Kevin Owens’ brutal post-match attack on Cody Rhodes, but it’s the intense showdown between Owens and Triple H that’s got everyone talking. Now, new details reveal why this explosive moment went down and what it means for the ongoing feud between Owens and Rhodes.
Chris Featherstone took to Twitter to shed light on the situation, explaining that Triple H’s physical involvement was never about setting up an in-ring comeback. “I was informed that Triple H’s physical involvement following Kevin Owens’s post-match attack on Cody Rhodes at #SNME is only to elevate Owens as a heel, and the Cody/Owens feud is slated to continue. A Triple H in-ring return is not in the plans at this time,” Featherstone wrote.
The chaos unfolded after Cody successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Owens. However, the celebration was short-lived as Owens blindsided Rhodes with a devastating package piledriver. Medical staff rushed to Cody’s aid, stretchered him out of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and left fans stunned.
As Owens made his way backstage with the championship in hand, Triple H stormed out and snatched the title away from him. The two engaged in a heated face-off, complete with shoving, before referees stepped in to separate them. While it was a dramatic moment, sources confirm it was purely to make Owens look even more ruthless as his feud with Cody intensifies.
WWE has big plans to air the attack footage on next week’s SmackDown to continue the storyline. A backstage segment featuring Owens will further escalate the tension as the company bridges the gap between Saturday Night’s Main Event and upcoming episodes of SmackDown.
Triple H, who retired from in-ring competition in 2022, isn’t planning a return to the squared circle anytime soon, which makes sense given his focus on elevating the current roster. As for Owens, this latest development is shaping him into one of the most despised villains in WWE today.
