Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton has responded to Kevin Owens‘ brutal attack on WWE SmackDown. Tensions have been building between Owens and Cody Rhodes for the past few weeks, with the former clearly unhappy about Rhodes’ decision to team up with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood 2024.

Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso got one over on The Bloodline 2.0 at Bad Blood, but they don't have the numbers to fight them head on. It's become clear on WWE SmackDown that Reigns needs more help to seize The Bloodline from Solo Sikoa.

Kevin Owens has finally addressed his recent change in behavior in WWE after a string of frustrations. Following his loss to Cody Rhodes at Bash in Berlin, Owens became increasingly agitated, particularly after Rhodes chose to partner with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood.
