Bill Apter makes prediction about WWE title match at Saturday Night's Main Event
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter made an interesting prediction about the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted show, Apter predicted that the company would keep the title on Rhodes this weekend. However, he noted that Owens would get in a lot of offense, and it could be a grueling match.
"I think they are gonna leave the belt on Cody because Cody is, you know, he is still kind of a franchise face of the company. They like what he looks like; they like what he sounds like. 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.
