Kevin Owens Gives WWE Until Friday’s SmackDown Show to Air Video Explaining His Actions Against Cody Rhodes

As noted before, Kevin Owens was involved in a storyline angle and brawl with Cody Rhodes following WWE’s Bad Blood 2024 event earlier this month in Atlanta, Georgia. This past Friday’s WWE SmackDown show in Greenville, South Carolina featured Owens making a surprise appearance and trying to respond to his brawl with Rhodes to no avail due to WWE officials preventing him from speaking out.

Owens recently released a video on Twitter giving an ultimatum to WWE to air his video explaining his side of the story by this Friday’s SmackDown show. Owens stated that he had sent them a video over this past weekend hoping that they would have aired it during this past Monday’s RAW show but they didn’t. Owens then stated that if WWE does not meet his demands, then he might post the video himself on Twitter.

One of the topics discussed included WWE Hall of Famer and co-host The Undertaker giving his thoughts about his belief that a majority of today’s wrestlers don’t have the pride of being professional wrestlers over their lack of protecting kayfabe and the magic of the business. The Undertaker stated “There is such a concerted effort to let everyone know what it is that we do. ‘We try to protect the magic.’ No we don’t. It’s wide open. There is no pride in the industry and what it is. They don’t have the same kind of pride. Yes, they are great performers, they can do great things, they are more athletic than we ever were. That’s great. There are some, but overall, the majority, they don’t have the pride of being a professional wrestler.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)

In a recent interview with Metro, Jey Uso gave his thoughts about the memorable “Ucey” moment with Sami Zayn during their time together in The Bloodline. Uso stated “The Ucey segment, it’s probably one of the dopest, fun and coolest segments on TV, but it was also the most embarrassing for me, because I was just stuck laughing on TV. There was a couple of times I just had to turn away from the camera, like I had to because I just had a big smile, man. If you really look at it, Roman [Reigns] was trying to poke at me, to crack me more. If you look at that segment, me and Sami Zayn had a promo before that, which probably could have been its own segment, and then it evolved. It went from being so heavy to being light. We gave everyone every feeling in that segment. It was just the best! I don’t think that’ll ever, ever, ever, ever be replicated again. I started to think to myself, I’m professional, you know? I need to chill out. But, man, it was so hard to keep a straight face with him and my brothers.“
