#3. Kevin Owens intended to pull out an apron powerbomb
During Kevin Owens' villainous run on the main roster and in NXT, he became infamous for destroying superstars with his brutal apron powerbomb at ringside. However, it’s been quite some time since fans have seen this devastating move, as KO has been a babyface for the past few years.
In his Bash in Berlin clash against Cody, there was a tense moment at ringside where The Prizefighter grabbed The American Nightmare, setting him up for the feared apron powerbomb. But after a few suspenseful seconds, Owens hesitated and decided not to execute the move.
This moment strongly hints that KO could be on the verge of a heel turn in the Stamford-based promotion, possibly signaling the return of his devastating apron powerbomb.
#2. Owens was frustrated by the loss at Bash in Berlin 2024
After Cody Rhodes emerged victorious over Kevin Owens, the Prizefighter was visibly frustrated and upset. It seemed as though Owens was just inches away from turning heel, but he ultimately chose not to attack Cody after the match. He even stopped Rhodes from raising his hand in the post-match celebrations but eventually lifted Cody's hand in the air himself.
This subtle gesture strongly hints at an imminent heel turn for Kevin following his loss to Cody Rhodes at Bash in Berlin 2024.
#1. Owens attacked Cody Rhodes' injured leg at ringside
During the middle of the match, Cody Rhodes appeared to favor one leg, making Kevin Owens think he might have suffered an injury. In response, KO hesitated, but Rhodes quickly attacked, signaling that he was fine. Frustrated, the Prizefighter suddenly delivered a kick to Cody's seemingly injured leg. Typically, targeting an opponent's injury is a tactic associated with heel superstars.
With Owens displaying this kind of aggression, it suggests that he might be on the verge of a heel turn following his loss to The American Nightmare at Bash in Berlin 2024.
