Kevin Owens breaks silence on WWE future; confirms backstage frustrations after Randy Orton & Cody Rhodes betrayals

Kevin Owens shared a video on social media addressing the current situation involving Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. In the video, he revealed that WWE had turned down his request, which led him to issue an ultimatum to the company.

The Prizefighter attacked The American Nightmare in the parking lot after Bad Blood ended and on SmackDown last week, he got into a physical altercation with Randy Orton. He used to be friends with the two stars, but that is no longer the case.

In a new clip uploaded on X, Kevin Owens stated that he wanted to share his side of the story, but WWE refused to air the video of his explanation on RAW. He added that if the company doesn't air it on SmackDown this Friday, he'd release the video on social media.

"Ever since Bad Blood, there's been a lot of questions about why I did what I did to Cody. There's been a lot of judgments, too. A lot of people judging me for what I did and as much as I'd love to explain myself, give my side of the story, and speak my mind, WWE has not allowed me to do that. They have done the opposite, actually. They've tried to shut me up, it seems, because they wouldn't let me come to SmackDown," he said.

Kevin Owens added:

"I sent them a video that I hoped they would air on RAW last night, and they didn't. So nobody could hear what I have to say. But of course, they had plenty of time for Cody to talk, but not for me... So I'm giving them until Friday, this Friday on SmackDown, to air my video, so that people can hear what I have to say. And if they don't, then I guess I'll post it here."

After Bad Blood, fan footage of Kevin Owens attacking Cody Rhodes went viral on social media. However, the clip never aired on WWE TV. It'll be interesting to see whether KO's video will air on SmackDown.
