Former WWE champion left speechless after Cody Rhodes asks Roman Reigns to have his back

Cody Rhodes asked Roman Reigns to have his back during a segment on SmackDown. This left a former WWE champion speechless.

Kevin Owens has had an issue with the Bloodline and Roman Reigns for the past few years. He faced Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship but came up short, thanks to the Bloodline.

He renewed his rivalry with the group again recently, along with Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. However, Cody has found himself an unlikely ally in Roman Reigns after they were attacked by Solo Sikoa and his group last week on SmackDown. Now, both men will team up to face The Bloodline at WWE Bad Blood.

Tonight on the blue brand, The American Nightmare met with Reigns on the Georgia Tech football field. During this segment, Cody asked Roman to have his back during their match. Reigns agreed to this but told Cody that after this feud was over, he was coming for his title.

Kevin Owens watched this whole segment on TV backstage, and Byron Saxton asked him to react to the interaction. The former Universal Champion smiled, scoffed in disbelief, and walked away without saying anything.

It remains to be seen what this means for Kevin Owens' friendship with Cody Rhodes.
