Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens are set to clash in a Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Title and Winged Eagle Championship at Royal Rumble 2025 in Indianapolis. The rivalry intensified after Owens delivered a brutal piledriver, leading to weekly confrontations on both SmackDown and RAW.
During this week’s RAW, Karrion Kross approached Sami Zayn, suggesting that assisting Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble could pave the way for a potential WrestleMania 41 main event between the two former best friends. This conversation follows Owens’ previous pitch to Zayn about headlining WrestleMania together.
Recent developments have shown Zayn inadvertently interfering with Rhodes on multiple occasions, potentially foreshadowing a character shift. Current patterns suggest these actions could lead to Zayn’s involvement in the Ladder Match outcome, though this possibility remains speculative until the premium live event this Saturday.
Karrion Kross plays more mind games with Sami Zayn.
