Kevin Owens is back feuding with A-Town Down Under on SmackDown after failing to beat Cody Rhodes at WWE Bash in Berlin. The Prizefighter is set to face Austin Theory and Grayson Waller in a tag match, but he must find a mystery partner. That partner could be a longtime ally, Sami Zayn, who could reunite with KO for the night.

The WWE RAW star can speak to Owens about his situation on the blue brand. KO's loss to Rhodes leaves him in a precarious position regarding the world title. His longtime friend can try to persuade him to work his way back to the main event scene, but that advice could be taken the wrong way.

Kevin Owens could decide that his only route back to the top of WWE is to turn heel. This could start after The American Nightmare beats Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage match for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and KO can use this to his advantage.

KO can act as Rhodes' bodyguard, initially helping to fight off The Bloodline post-match. He can then wait for a golden opportunity before stunning The American Nightmare, who will be left crestfallen at the betrayal.

This could pave the way for the former WWE Universal Champion to challenge for the title again. Sami Zayn can head back to RAW, wondering what he's done, but could realize he's got himself and his friend in both brands' world title pictures.


Kevin Owens could face Cody Rhodes at WWE Bad Blood amid potential SmackDown betrayal

The next premium live event on the horizon is Bad Blood, the perfect destination for Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes to collide. This time, the match between the two could be personal, with KO turning into a vicious individual.

Rhodes is running out of contenders to challenge for his title aside from The Bloodline. He'll want to steer clear of that storyline because it could arguably trump the significance of his title reign.

KO and Rhodes' potential title match and rivalry can lead to Randy Orton getting involved further down the line. The Viper can try to act as a peacemaker only to strike his former Legacy partner with an RKO and state his intentions to challenge for the title.

A Triple Threat match between the SmackDown trio, potentially at Royal Rumble, would be an exciting option. It could open the door for many outcomes, such as Orton winning and defending against Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
