Kevin Owens gives WWE until SmackDown to air video explaining his actions
Kevin Owens is giving WWE an ultimatum.
Owens posted a video on X Tuesday saying he’d love to explain why he did what he did to Cody Rhodes, but WWE has not allowed him to do that, pointing out he was told not to come on last Friday’s SmackDown. He explained that he sent a video to WWE over the weekend in hopes they would air it on Raw, but that didn’t happen. He said that the last thing he wanted to do was post it on social media, but may have to if WWE doesn’t air the video he gave them on Friday.
“I’m giving them until this Friday on SmackDown to air my video so that people can hear what I have to say and if they don’t, then I guess I’ll post it here,” Owens said.
In a social media angle that took place following Bad Blood, Kevin Owens attacked Cody Rhodes following an argument near Rhodes’ travel bus. Despite being told not to come, Owens appeared on last Friday’s SmackDown, entering the ring and attempting to explain his actions. He was cut off before he could. Rhodes attempted to confront Owens but was stopped by Randy Orton, who attempted to hold off Kevin Owens and was attacked as a result. Orton dropped Owens, who appeared stunned by Orton’s actions and fled the ringside area.
Backstage, Randy Orton told General Manager Nick Aldis he would try to resolve the issue. Aldis, however, later saw Owens attack Orton backstage, with Owens accusing Orton of picking sides.
