Kevin Owens shares another car promo; makes interesting claim ahead of Undisputed WWE Championship match
Kevin Owens shared another car promo ahead of his Undisputed WWE Championship match tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event. The Prizefighter has turned heel in recent months on the blue brand and unleashed a surprise attack last night on SmackDown.
Cody Rhodes will be defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens later tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event. Owens attacked The American Nightmare last night on SmackDown and hit him over the head with the title. Ahead of the special show, the veteran shared another promo from his car and claimed that he was trying to help bring Cody Rhodes back to reality.
"I hate to admit it, but I still have a lot of love for Cody Rhodes, I do. So, tonight, I think it is not a matter of me wanting to win the Undisputed WWE Championship, it is a matter of me needing to win it for Cody, to help Cody. Because Cody needs to be brought back to reality," said Owens. [From 01:51 - 02:13]
Owens added that the way to bring Rhodes back to earth was to take the title away from him tonight.
"He needs to be brought back down to earth with all of us, and I think the best way to do that is to take what he holds dear, more than anything else in the world, the most important thing to him, and that is the Undisputed WWE Championship," he added. [02:14 - 02:31]

But I think Kevin Owens is gonna kick the proverbial tar out of him and become, to the people who haven't watched pro wrestling on Network TV in years, you're gonna see this maniac guy try to kill Cody Rhodes," he said.
