WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes will face Kevin Owens at the WWE Bash in Berlin this Saturday in Germany. Rhodes, who won the WWE Undisputed Title at WrestleMania 40 by defeating Roman Reigns, has since defended the title against top competitors such as AJ Styles, Logan Paul, and Solo Sikoa.
Rhodes last defended his title against Solo Sikoa at WWE SummerSlam. The match saw the return of Roman Reigns, who had been absent since WrestleMania 40. With Reigns’ aid, Rhodes was able to defeat Solo Sikoa.
Following this, Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns engaged in a heated rivalry. Cody Rhodes then challenged Kevin Owens to a match at Bash in Berlin. Owens initially hesitated to accept the challenge, feeling that his recent performance did not justify a title opportunity.
Ultimately, Kevin Owens accepted the challenge. As the match approaches, fans question whether Owens might betray Cody Rhodes, especially considering his long pursuit of the WWE Undisputed Title since 2020.
Kevin Owens has a history of betraying close friends like Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes has now addressed these concerns ahead of their upcoming match in Germany.
Cody Rhodes’ comments on Kevin Owens: What did he say?
On the August 23 edition of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes appeared on the Grayson Waller Show. During the segment, Waller tried to create tension by highlighting Kevin Owens’ history of betraying friends to Rhodes. This led to Rhodes and Owens teaming up to face Grayson Waller and Austin Theory on SmackDown.
Following their victory, WWE shared a clip featuring Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes. Rhodes expressed that despite what wrestling fans might assume, his relationship with Owens goes beyond just on camera.
Rhodes stated, “Everyone who watches wrestling thinks they know how to call it. This is my friend, my actual friend, not just an on-camera friend, an off-camera friend. We get to wrestle in Berlin. Those who haven’t seen the German fans are like, you’re gonna be blown away by Bash in Berlin. Kevin Owens is the man. He saved me.”
While Cody Rhodes is showing trust in Kevin Owens ahead of their match, WWE has teased Owens’ potential heel turn on several occasions. All eyes are now on WWE Bash in Berlin to see if this seemingly friendly bout will escalate into an ugly rivalry between Rhodes and Owens. Only time will tell.
