Kevin Owens attacked Cody Rhodes following Saturday Night's Main Event last weekend, leaving Rhodes in a neck brace. Since then, there hasn't been a live episode of SmackDown, which means that Nick Aldis has been unable to punish the former Universal Champion.
As part of a recent update ahead of Monday Night RAW's move to Netflix on January 6, WWE shared the poster for the Road to WrestleMania 41, which shows Kevin Owens in the middle alongside the likes of CM Punk, Bianca Belair, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and John Cena.
Interestingly, Cody Rhodes is not featured in the image, which could be a spoiler for him, as well as the fact that Owens is clearly not being fired for his attack on Rhodes or confrontation with Triple H.

Kevin Owens and Triple H could be part of a major WWE storyline
Many fans have speculated that the fact Kevin Owens was confronted by Triple H could mean that the two men will step into a feud ahead of WrestleMania 41 in April.
Owens's appearance on the poster for the Road to WrestleMania 41 is interesting since there was a belief that his days in WWE were numbered. Owens attacked Cody Rhodes, and even though The American Nightmare didn't sustain a permanent injury after being hit with a piledriver, it's hard to believe that he isn't seen as one of the company's top faces heading into the biggest show of the year.
John Cena's return is going to be one of the biggest talking points of 2025 as he sets out on his retirement tour, but Cody Rhodes will also be a major part of the company throughout this time, so it's unclear why WWE has not chosen him or fellow World Champion Gunther to be on the advertisements for this new era.
