Kevin Owens was the victim of "THE LONG ISLAND SCR*WJOB," says wrestling veteran after WWE Saturday Night's Main Event (Exclusive)

A veteran has shared his comments on what happened during the Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens Undisputed WWE title match. At one point during the bout, the referee got knocked out, and Owens covered Rhodes for what seemed like an eternity.

Kevin Owens failed to win the Undisputed WWE title from Cody Rhodes tonight at Saturday Night's Main Event. At one point, the official got knocked out. Owens hit a Stunner on Rhodes and covered him, but there was no referee in sight to make the three count.

Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter has now commented on Owens almost winning the match and the title. He called it "THE LONG ISLAND SCR*WJOB!" and added that the incident has made the feud hotter.

Apter also stated that Owens didn't put up a fight tonight against The American Nightmare. Owens did get fired up following the loss and beat Cody up, before getting into a heated altercation with WWE CCO Triple H on the entranceway.

Judging by what happened at Saturday Night's Main Event, it seems like this feud is far from over, and Rhodes will now try to get back at Owens for what he did post-match. The next few weeks on WWE SmackDown are going to be must-see television.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
