Kevin Owens makes serious allegations ahead of WWE Crown Jewel
WWE Superstar Kevin Owens will face Randy Orton later tonight at the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. Ahead of the show, The Prizefighter has made serious allegations against The Viper and the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
KO turned heel by attacking The American Nightmare backstage at the Bad Blood Premium Live Even as he was upset with the latter joining hands with Roman Reigns. The following Friday, he took out Orton in a similar manner after the 14-time World Champion sided with his former Legacy stablemate. Owens was suspended for his actions while Randy Orton talked Triple H into setting up his clash with the 40-year-old for Crown Jewel.
Ahead of the show, Kevin Owens spoke to backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley during the Countdown to Crown Jewel. The former WWE Universal Champion claimed he and Cathy Kelley were in a dune buggy accident. KO further accused Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes of paying off the driver to do so.
"We got into a dune buggy, and what happened? We flipped, [and] we rolled over several times. How many was it 3, 4, 5 times? [Cathy Kelley responds: We rolled over three times] We were in a car accident two days ago, and you know why? Because I have no doubt that [the] driver was paid off by Randy Orton or Cody Rhodes to make that happen. Because everyone is against me, do you know that?" he said.
Kevin Owens sends a message to Randy Orton ahead of their clash
Kevin Owens believes that everyone turned against him after he attacked Cody Rhodes. He added that he loved Randy Orton and never wanted to fight him. Owens concluded with a message to Orton claiming he won't be responsible for whatever happens to The Apex Predator later tonight.
"Everyone is against me, ever since I attacked the little golden boy Cody Rhodes. 'Oh no you can’t touch Cody', 'Not Cody', but I did, and he deserved it. None of this is my fault. So tonight they’re making me do something I don’t want to do, making me fight my friend Randy Orton. I loved Randy Orton. And tonight I'm going to make Randy Orton feel way worse than we felt when we got out of the dune buggy. You were collateral damage. I'm so sorry. But I'm going to make it right tonight. And Randy, just remember, what happens tonight is your fault," he said.
