Cody Rhodes has a massive match coming up at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. However, a veteran has said that even if Cody doesn't win, The American Nightmare is in for a rough match.

Kevin Owens is already infamous for his brutal fighting style, which seems to have been amplified further since his heel turn. Considering his disdain for Cody Rhodes, it is quite expected that he will be out for blood during the Undisputed WWE Title match at Saturday Night's Main Event.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, veteran journalist Bill Apter stated that even though Owens might brutalize Cody, the title would not change hands.

"I think they are gonna leave the belt on Cody because Cody is, you know, he is still kind of a franchise face of the company. They like what he looks like; they like what he sounds like. But I think Kevin Owens is gonna kick the proverbial tar out of him and become, to the people who haven't watched pro wrestling on Network TV in years, you're gonna see this maniac guy try to kill Cody Rhodes," he said.

As of now, it remains to be seen how KO plans to take on Cody Rhodes at the upcoming WWE event.
