RAW star reacts to Kevin Owens' heel turn at WWE Bad Blood
A WWE RAW Superstar reacted to Kevin Owens' heel turn today on social media. The Prizefighter was not in action at Bad Blood but did turn heel shortly after the event.
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in the main event of Bad Blood last night in Atlanta, Georgia. After the show, Owens was spotted having a conversation with The American Nightmare outside the latter's tour bus.
Owens then seemingly turned heel and attacked Rhodes until security intervened. The New Day's Xavier Woods took to social media today to react to Owens' actions. Despite the incident occurring last night, Woods seemingly only found out about the attack this morning as seen in his message below.
"Wait, @FightOwensFight dropped @CodyRhodes after the show last night!," he wrote.
Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens had previously been working together in a rivalry against The Bloodline on SmackDown. Rhodes offered to defend his title against Owens earlier this year and defeated the 40-year-old at Bash in Berlin on August 31.
Jim Cornette claims WWE RAW star is more valuable than Kevin Owens to the company
Wrestling legend Jim Cornette recently claimed that Sami Zayn was more valuable to WWE than Kevin Owens.
Neither Kevin Owens nor Sami Zayn were on the match card for Bad Blood but both appeared last night at some point and attacked the world champions of their respective blue and red brands.
Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience podcast, the veteran suggested that Zayn was a more important part of the roster than Owens. Cornette also claimed that Zayn was better on the microphone and seemed to be more motivated.
"I think Sami Zayn is more important to the WWE than Kevin Owens is right now. I think longer term he's got more upside, the people like him in a more genuine way rather than just cheering cannonballs into people's faces. At this point, I think his promos are better, he's more motivated," he said. [From 3:00 - 3:24]

Owens had been showing signs of frustration with Rhodes in recent weeks on SmackDown. It will be fascinating to see what WWE has planned for this potential rivalry in the weeks ahead.
