Kevin Owens to attack another friend after Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton? Chances explored
Kevin Owens isn't exactly thinking straight right now on SmackDown. Feeling betrayed by both Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, The Prizefighter is out for blood. KO is no doubt planning to bury both The American Nightmare and The Viper, but if he is successful, what next? Well, he could turn his attention to another friend, one he believes has also betrayed him.
Kevin Owens is targeting Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton because of specific reasons. Initially, the WWE Champion joined forces with Roman Reigns, who Owens holds a lot of animosity towards. Additionally, Randy Orton chose to support Rhodes over his former tag team partner, which was undoubtedly the nail in the coffin. Taking all this into consideration, KO might just attack his best friend Sami Zayn, for similar reasons.
For context, earlier this week, Sami Zayn was seen having a conversation with none other than Solo Sikoa. As the leader of The Bloodline and the cause of so much pain over the last few years, Sikoa and Kevin Owens aren't exactly the best of friends. With that in mind, seeing Zayn interact with Sikoa could lead to KO blowing a fuse. Who knows? He may even appear on RAW and lay out The Underdog from the Underground, simply because he feels betrayed.
If Zayn is indeed colluding with Sikoa, an attack from The Prizefighter will surely be imminent. However, as things stand, this is nothing more than mere speculation. We will just have to wait and see how things unfold.
Kevin Owens will be looking to "end" Randy Orton at WWE Crown Jewel
Before he can even think about attacking Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens must deal with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. Taking out The American Nightmare is clearly the end goal for KO, but first comes The Viper. Owens certainly feels the most betrayed by Orton, as Triple H claims the 40-year-old let his guard down for the first time around him.
This has all culminated in a head-to-head between the two, scheduled to take place this weekend at WWE Crown Jewel. Owens and Orton will settle their difference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will certainly be a battle for the ages and one that will likely end with both men bruised and battered.
Considering the bad blood between the two, all eyes will be on this match. Will Orton successfully defeat his former friend? Or will Owens get his revenge? Only time will tell.
