Storyline update on Kevin Owens following his attack on Cody Rhodes at the 2024 WWE Bad Blood PLE

After the 2024 WWE Bad Blood PLE went off the air, Kevin Owens officially turned heel when he attacked Cody outside in the arena parking lot. In a post via Twitter/X, Owens issued a statement about the incident…

“Ever since Bad Blood, there’s been a lot of questions about why I did what I did to Cody. There’s been a lot of judgments, too. A lot of people judging me for what I did. And as much as I’d love to explain myself, give my side of the story, and speak my mind, WWE has not allowed me to do that. They have done the opposite, actually.

They’ve tried to shut me up, it seems, because they wouldn’t let me come to Smackdown. They told me to stay home last Friday, even though I belong there. When I showed up anyway, they cut my mic and did everything they could for me not to be able to talk. Then over the weekend, I sent them a video that I hoped they would air on raw last night, and they didn’t. Nobody could hear what I have to say. But of course, they had plenty of time for Cody to talk, but not for me. Look, the last thing I want to do is do this on social media because I hate it. I’m giving them until Friday, this Friday on Smackdown, to air my video so that people could hear what I have to say. And if they don’t, then I guess I’ll post it here.”
