Kevin Owens publicly discloses major personal issue with his family on SmackDown before Money in the Bank 2024
It seems like things haven't been easy for Kevin Owens on a personal level. On the SmackDown before Money in the Bank 2024, he disclosed a major issue he has been going through.
This week's episode of SmackDown was meant to be a follow-up to the shocking attack on Paul Heyman last week. The trio of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens came out, with Orton again having a meaningful peep at the Undisputed WWE Championship over Rhodes' shoulder.
In the subsequent promo, there was little to actually do with The Bloodline. Kevin Owens revealed that he flew to his hometown of Quebec five days ago as his mother is in the hospital battling with an unspecified medical issue. From the sound of things, it was possibly an emergency.
The hospital she is in now happens to be where Owens was born. While KO acknowledged that nobody backstage in WWE would've had a problem with him missing SmackDown tonight, his mother would have had an issue with it, which is now his biggest motivation against The Bloodline.
Although commentary mentioned that Cody Rhodes has the most experience against The Bloodline, Owens has been feuding with them since the ThunderDome Era in late 2020.
It will be interesting to see how things play out at Money in the Bank 2024.
