Cody Rhodes successfully retained his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens at Saturday Night’s Main Event. While the show ended with The American Nightmare celebrating his victory, chaos unfolded after the cameras stopped rolling. A furious Owens blindsided Rhodes, delivering a devastating ‘Package Piledriver’ that left the champion with a potentially career-threatening injury.
Following his hard-fought victory, Rhodes was addressing the WWE Universe in Long Island, New York, when a frustrated Owens launched a brutal attack from behind. Driven by rage, The Prizefighter delivered the banned ‘Package Piledriver’ to Rhodes, leaving him severely injured. The shocking incident caused chaos within WWE management, as Rhodes had to be stretchered out.
Owens’ actions have sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe. The ‘Package Piledriver’, a banned move due to its devastating impact on the neck, was unleashed on Rhodes, causing serious concern. Owens had previously used a similar move on Randy Orton, sidelining him indefinitely. Apparently, the Undisputed Champion’s condition is critical, adding to the turmoil caused by Owens’ attack.

In addition to that, The Prizefighter made a bold statement by stealing the iconic ‘Winged Eagle’ WWE Championship from ringside. WWE CCO Triple H confronted Owens over his actions, resulting in a tense altercation between the two on the aisle. More details are expected to emerge regarding this shocking turn of events at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
What could be the repercussions for Kevin Owens’ attack on Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event?
Kevin Owens’ unhinged actions at Saturday Night’s Main Event have left the WWE Universe with many questions. With WWE management clearly agitated by the former Universal Champion’s antics, Owens could face severe repercussions in the coming weeks. Hurting a top champion may lead to a suspension for Owens, keeping him sidelined for an extended period.
Triple H may address the matter on next week’s SmackDown, where he could announce that Owens faces a lengthy suspension and a substantial fine for his attack on Cody Rhodes. Additionally, WWE could potentially explore an angle where The Prizefighter is terminated from his WWE contract as a severe consequence for his actions.
As for The American Nightmare, he may be off WWE TV for a while before making his eventual return. Once healed, Rhodes could seek revenge against the Canadian superstar for the brutal attack. It will be intriguing to see how this storyline develops in the coming weeks.
