Kevin Owens to injure another major star after Randy Orton; make him miss Survivor Series? Potential attack on WWE SmackDown explored

Kevin Owens has wreaked havoc on SmackDown, assaulting Randy Orton last week and causing a serious injury to the 14-time World Champion. KO used a banned move, the Piledriver, on The Viper, who will be sidelined indefinitely.

Following the assault, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes came to the ring and was by Randy Orton's side when the latter left the ring on a stretcher and moved to a medical facility.

This Friday, fans can expect The American Nightmare to re-ignite his feud with KO and go after the former World Champion, seeking revenge. However, this time Kevin Owens could attack Rhodes first and injure him, costing him his appearance at Survivor Series: WarGames.

This angle could allow WWE to write the Undisputed WWE Champion off TV for a while, using it as an excuse for his absence from Survivor Series, and confirming recent reports that the champion won't be working Survivor Series.

However, Cody Rhodes could return on time for Saturday Night's Main Event, on December 14, and face Kevin Owens in a rematch from Bash in Berlin.
