Kevin Owens shares emotional moment ahead of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
Kevin Owens had an emotional moment ahead of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event tonight. The veteran will be challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the event at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, New York.
WWE shared a video on social media of The Prizefighter admiring the set for Saturday Night's Main Event. Owens, sporting a Goldust shirt, noted that he was feeling nostalgic ahead of his match against The American Nightmare.
The former Universal Champion also ensured that the camera got the best angle to highlight his emotions. You can check out the video in the Instagram post below.
"Go around and get my face from the other side. This is cool. Did you get that? Did you get my face? Did you get all the emotions? Good," said Owens.
Cody Rhodes captured the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. He successfully defended the title against Kevin Owens at the main event in Bash in Berlin earlier this year. However, Owens has since turned heel and vowed to bring Rhodes back to reality during their title match tonight.
Former WWE writer predicts Kevin Owens will lose at Saturday Night's Main Event
Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently predicted that Kevin Owens would lose to Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo show, the veteran shared an interesting reason as to why the company may want to keep the title on Rhodes. Russo noted that it was the first Saturday Night's Main Event in a long time, and the company likely wants to send fans home happy.
"I just think it's the first Saturday Night's Main Event, they gotta send people home happy I think. Maybe if it wasn't the first. I think they'd gotta put Cody over, probably last match of the night." [From 0:30 onwards]
