Cathy Kelley reveals details of terrifying dune buggy accident with Kevin Owens in Saudi Arabia

Cathy Kelley shared a harrowing experience involving Kevin Owens during their time in Saudi Arabia before Crown Jewel 2024. The WWE backstage interviewer opened up about a dangerous dune buggy incident that could have ended tragically.

During an appearance on B4TheBell, Kelley recounted how their vehicle rolled multiple times in the desert. She credited Owens’ quick thinking for preventing serious injuries, noting his protective instincts kicked in immediately during the accident.

“He’s been one of my friends for years. I’ve had many conversations with him off camera. We just got into a kind of traumatizing accident when we were in Saudi Arabia when we were in a dune buggy. I kind of credit him for saving my life in that moment. We rolled three and a half times in a dune buggy. He said his initial instinct was to protect me. I was holding onto a safety rail, he was right behind me. We could have gotten much more banged up than we did. We were really lucky that we walked out of it relatively unscathed,” Kelley revealed.

The incident occurred just weeks before Owens found himself embroiled in controversies involving Randy Orton and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

Former WWE employee predicts Randy Orton’s return timeline after Kevin Owens attack

The aftermath of Kevin Owens’ recent actions continues to ripple through WWE, as Randy Orton remains sidelined following a devastating Piledriver on SmackDown. WWE announced Orton suffered cervical cord neurapraxia after the banned maneuver.

Tommy Carlucci, a former WWE staff member, shared his insights on Behind The Turnbuckle: The War Room podcast regarding The Viper’s potential return timeline. Carlucci suggests Orton might be absent until January 2025, coinciding with RAW’s move to Netflix.

“I think he will be out until January. Boy, after the Netflix thing, that would kill him and his ego,”
