Kevin Owens has been on a rampage on SmackDown lately, as he has become the biggest threat on the blue brand. He attacked and injured his former best friend Randy Orton last week, putting the latter on the shelf for a considerable amount of time. However, Owens may have suffered another heartbreak in the meantime, which could force him to quit WWE.
Last week on SmackDown, Sami Zayn joined forces with Roman Reigns and The Usos despite their tumultuous past. However, this may not sit well with his long-time friend Kevin Owens. KO attacked Cody Rhodes because he felt betrayed after the latter teamed up with Roman, his bitter rival, at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event.
He also never intended to turn his back on his good friend Randy Orton, but The Prizefighter felt backstabbed when Orton did not understand him and rather stood by Rhodes' side. It seems Owens might be once again in the same dilemma as Zayn reunited with Reigns. This may have broken his heart into a million pieces as another of his trustworthy and good old friends chose the same path.

However, this time KO could simply walk away instead of questioning Sami or launching an attack. The 40-year-old could be frustrated, suffering heartbreak after heartbreak. Unable to process his emotions, a disheartened Kevin Owens could simply quit WWE and walk into the shadows. He could remain away from television for a while until Cody Rhodes called him out.
Former WWE writer buries Judgment Day HERE
On the other hand, The American Nightmare is reported to miss the Survivor Series 2024 Premium Live Event. Therefore, by taking The Prizefighter off television, WWE would have an opportunity to stretch the Rhodes vs. Owens rivalry to Saturday Night's Main Event PLE, where the match between the two is currently rumored to take place.
Kevin Owens to blame Cody Rhodes for Randy Orton's injury?
Kevin Owens' actions took an unfortunate turn last week when he hit Randy Orton with a piledriver on the mat. The Viper was immediately rushed to the hospital as he suffered cervical cord neurapraxia. In the aftermath of the attack, Owens had a contrasting expression on his face.
It looked like The Prizefighter was unhappy to see his former best friend suffer, and he never intended to do it. This week on SmackDown, KO could call out Cody Rhodes and blame him for Orton's injury. He could state that his rivalry was never with The Apex Predator, and Cody has been his only target since the very first day.
Kevin Owens could reprimand The American Nightmare for pushing Randy Orton into this when it was supposed to be between them. As a result of Orton's injury and Sami Zayn joining Roman Reigns and The Usos, Owens could simply decide to leave the Stamford-based promotion.
This will add a new layer to this storyline, which has the potential to catapult it to new heights. Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes are destined to go against each other in a blockbuster showdown. It remains to be seen how things shape up in the coming weeks.
