Cody Rhodes has been a dominant champion despite The Bloodline being a thorn in his side. However, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts recently entertained the idea of Kevin Owens becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion.
The Prizefighter's future with the Stamford-based promotion was up in the air until SmackDown last week when Triple H finally offered some clarity. The Game agreed to Randy Orton's demands and booked him in a match against Kevin Owens at Crown Jewel.
Recent reports have suggested that Owens vs. Rhodes could take place at Survivor Series: WarGames.
Interestingly, the Canadian's WWE contract will expire at the end of this year and there have been some rumblings about AEW being interested in luring him away.

Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts discussed Kevin Owens potentially dethroning Cody Rhodes at some point while the inevitable Roman Reigns-The Rock-Cody Rhodes program still happens but for the People's Championship.
"What if Kevin Owens beats Cody Rhodes at some point? What if Kevin Owens is the WWE Champion? What if Cody then goes into a program with Randy Orton? What if Kevin Owens also beats Randy Orton and is still the champion? What if Cody still does his thing with Rock and Roman Reigns, but they make it more about the People's Championship?"
The WWE analyst thinks Sami Zayn reuniting with the OG Bloodline could trigger Kevin Owens, leading to a WrestleMania match between the two best friends.
