Kevin Owens Justifies His Attack On Cody Rhodes
Following his defeat, Owens attacked Cody Rhodes in a shocking turn of events that unfolded after the show went off the air.

On X/Twitter, Owens accused referees of costing him the championship and defended his actions, writing:
“EXCLUSIVE: After getting screwed out of becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion by incompetent referees, Kevin Owens justifiably gets retribution on The American Person with an often imitated, never truly duplicated, PACKAGE PILEDRIVER just moments after Saturday Night’s Main Event goes off the air to send everyone home happy. #SNME.”

What Went Down at Saturday Night’s Main Event
The highly anticipated showdown between Owens and Rhodes lived up to its hype, with drama escalating in the match’s final moments. After two referee bumps, Owens introduced a steel chair in an attempt to swing the match in his favor. However, the plan backfired as Cody Rhodes countered with a Cross Rhodes onto the chair, securing yet another successful title defense.
Owens, furious with the outcome, unleashed a vicious Package Piledriver on Rhodes after the match, leaving the champion incapacitated.
This is not the first time Kevin Owens has used the Package Piledriver to make a statement. He previously sidelined Randy Orton with the banned move, drawing widespread criticism. His recent attack on Cody Rhodes is a continuation of his vendetta against those he feels have wronged him.
What’s Next for Kevin Owens?
With Owens publicly expressing his frustrations for WWE officials and Cody Rhodes, it’s clear he’s not done making waves in WWE. The fallout from his actions could have significant implications, not only for his rivalry with Rhodes but also for his standing in the company.
