Randy Orton and Nick Aldis found themselves in the middle of chaos this week after Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens almost ended up in a brawl. The two kicked Rhodes out of SmackDown as well.

After Bad Blood, when Cody Rhodes was in front of his bus, he was attacked by Kevin Owens after an inaudible confrontation. What Rhodes and Owens said was not heard, but KO clearly took offense and decided to beat down an already exhausted Rhodes. The beatdown was seen as a heel turn, and as fans waited for the star to provide an explanation of what happened, he appeared on SmackDown tonight unnanounced.

However, chaos ensued. An understandably upset Cody Rhodes came out and a brawl almost broke out, with Owens saying that he was not the one to turn on Rhodes, but the opposite had happened. Randy Orton and Nick Aldis separated them and Orton even punched Owens across the mouth, leading to a devastated KO walking out.

Randy Orton then told Cody Rhodes to go home and said that he needed to get out of there.

"We all need to cool down tonight. Including you."

Rhodes left the venue, thanks to Nick Aldis and Orton both telling him to get out of the show. Before he left, Orton made a promise that he'd talk to Kevin Owens and sort things out.
