Kevin Owens is set to face Cody Rhodes at Royal Rumble 2025 in a Ladder Match with the Undisputed WWE Championship and the Winged Eagle Championship hanging above the ring. This match is expected to witness a maelstrom of chaos and drama, including ringside shenanigans. Amid those, KO may receive help from former WWE Tag Team Champions Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga to ensure his victory.
The speculation arose after Owens interfered in the Tribal Combat Match and tried to help Solo Sikoa defeat Roman Reigns on RAW. He delivered a Stunner to the OTC during the match, aiding The Street Champion. Even though Solo failed, he owes one to The Prizefighter.
Therefore, the new Bloodline may return the favor by helping Kevin Owens defeat Cody Rhodes in the Ladder Match at the Royal Rumble. In a stunning twist, KO could strike a temporary alliance with the faction, given their mutual animosity for The American Nightmare. While the possibility is interesting, the chances of it happening are relatively low.
A major reason why it is unlikely is that Rhodes is expected to walk into WrestleMania 41 as the Undisputed WWE Champion. Therefore, Owens' victory at the Royal Rumble seems a far-fetched scenario. Additionally, the new Bloodline might feud in the mid-card for a while with stars such as Apollo Crews and Andrade. Therefore, WWE may keep them away from Cody Rhodes for now.

Kevin Owens to continue his feud with Cody Rhodes after the Royal Rumble PLE?

However, Rhodes and Owens will clash in an electrifying third chapter of their rivalry at the upcoming premium live event.
With the Royal Rumble set to kick off the Road to WrestleMania 41, many fans have been wondering if the feud between the two will continue even after that.

With it being the third chapter of this rivalry, the Triple H-led creative team is expected to cap off this storyline.
Cody Rhodes is heavily rumored to face a top star at WrestleMania 41. Therefore, he could be involved in a fresh feud after the Royal Rumble PLE next month. As for Kevin Owens, he could have a potential program with stars like Randy Orton or even Sami Zayn during the Road to WrestleMania 41.
Nonetheless, it will be quite interesting to see the future of Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens from here on, with their rivalry reaching a fever pitch.
