Kevin Owens to form an unlikely alliance with 2 WWE Superstars to ambush Cody Rhodes? Exploring the chances

Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes have been embroiled in an intense feud on SmackDown lately. While their rivalry has largely unfolded through fiery verbal exchanges, a major showdown between them is likely on the horizon. However, before their inevitable clash, Owens might form an unlikely alliance with two WWE Superstars to ambush The American Nightmare on SmackDown.

The two names who could join KO are Carmelo Hayes and Giovanni Vinci. Both superstars were spotted together backstage on SmackDown, having a private conversation. Following that Hayes was involved in a heated altercation with Rhodes due to a conflict of opinions. The 30-year-old believed everything that The Prizefighter had told Cody on SmackDown was true.

This led to a heated exchange of words between him and the Undisputed WWE Champion. All in all, Carmelo Hayes appeared to be on the same page with Kevin Owens which has fueled the possibility of him joining forces with the latter. There are high chance that Hayes could convince Vinci to join sides with KO to orchestrate an attack on The American Nightmare.

The former NXT Champion is also scheduled to face Cody Rhodes next week on SmackDown. Therefore, it could serve as the stage where Kevin Owens might form a temporary alliance with both superstars to lay out an ambush on The American Nightmare. This would intensify the feud between Rhodes and Owens, putting the spotlight on Carmelo Hayes and Giovanni Vinci.

Moreover, this could also push Vinci's return to in-ring action, who has been away from WWE television for the last two months. However, this is just speculation at this point and only time will tell how Triple H plans this angle moving forward.

Kevin Owens to face Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night's Main Event?

Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes have been at loggerheads for the last two months. However, there are still uncertainly about when the two would lock horns in a match. According to recent reports, WWE has plans to feature this much-awaited showdown at Saturday Night's Main Event which is set for next month.

On the latest SmackDown, The American Nightmare called out Kevin Owens for a match but the latter declined, stating that KO would only face him on his terms. During the promo, Rhodes even expressed his willingness to face Owens anywhere, including Saturday Night's Main Event.

This seems to be a major indication that the company may book this high-voltage clash for the December PLE. With Survivor Series just a week away, WWE is highly unlikely to feature this match at the spectacle. Therefore, it makes Saturday Night's Main Event to be the most plausible choice for hosting the showdown.

Besides, considering the magnitude of the iconic PLE, Kevin Owens vs. Cody Rhodes could be a potential high-profile main event to add grandeur to the event. Furthermore, stretching this feud will allow WWE to unravel many more layers in this ongoing angle between the two former friends.
