Kevin Owens brings chaos to SmackDown amid WWE authority tensions
The Prizefighter’s recent actions against Cody Rhodes and confrontation with Triple H spark speculation about potential consequences.
Kevin Owens continues to defy WWE authority figures following his attack on Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The situation escalated when Owens executed a banned package piledriver on Rhodes before taking possession of the Winged Eagle Championship.
The incident led to an immediate confrontation with Triple H on the entrance ramp, resulting in a physical altercation between the two. This development adds to Owens’ growing list of adversaries, which includes SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and potential returnee Randy Orton.
During a recent interview with Michael Cole, Owens expressed concerns about his safety within the WWE environment. These statements came amid mounting pressure from various authority figures and superstars seeking retribution.
Contract status adds layer to ongoing situation
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select recently addressed speculation surrounding Kevin Owens’ WWE contract status. During a podcast episode, Sapp provided insight into the situation:
I haven’t been told outright about Kevin Owens re-signing, but it’s safe to assume at this point.
While Owens’ current agreement reportedly extends into early 2025, no official announcement has been made regarding a contract renewal. The uncertainty surrounding his contract status emerges as WWE management considers its response to his recent actions.
The resolution of this situation remains uncertain as WWE officials weigh potential disciplinary measures following the events at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
