WWE superstars Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens came to blows in a fight that didn’t make it on air at Bad Blood . The current Undisputed WWE Champion was confronted by the Prizefighter near his tour bus after Saturday night’s premium live event came to an end, with fans filming the tense exchange. WWE is yet to share its own footage of the incident, which saw the pair start arguing, although what exactly what said couldn’t be made out.
It wasn’t long into the row before KO attacked the American Nightmare – who teamed with Roman Reigns to beat Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa in the main event in the car park. In footage posted by fans on social media , the friends turned rivals fought until a group of officials arrived to break up the scrap, which came after a sold out, record-breaking show in Atlanta , Georgia. Although the video has only spread through fans online, it’s likely to be shown on SmackDown this week as part of the now-blossoming rivalry between Cody and KO.

After Jimmy Uso returned to help his cousin Roman and Cody secure the win despite interference from Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, the People’s Champ made a surprise comeback of his own. He didn’t say anything on air, instead simply pointing towards Roman and Cody – his former Bloodline ally and bitter rival respectively – and counting to three, with the meaning unclear. On Instagram after the show, The Rock called out ‘a bunch’ of BS that’s been going on since he was last seen on screen, before pointing out how his return took the roof off the arena.
As well as cheeky digs at John Cena and Cody (while praising the latter’s legendary dad Dusty), he said the fans had witnessed the ‘Final Boss’, before pulling away. Everything that went down sets the stage for what could be a fascinating six months for the American Nightmare. He’s clearly on a collision course with KO after their post-show scrap, but he could also be set to face World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER in Saudi Arabia next month.
During Bad Blood, Triple H confirmed the respective Raw and SmackDown world champions – both men and women – will face off in singles matches for the new Crown Jewel Title.
