WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes made a major announcement ahead of the upcoming edition of SmackDown. Currently engaged in a heated rivalry with Kevin Owens, Rhodes endured a brutal attack.
On the November 8th edition of WWE SmackDown, Owens and Randy Orton clashed in a huge brawl. The former delivered a piledriver — a banned maneuver in WWE — to Orton, who had been trying to mediate the tension between Rhodes and Owens. However, he ended up becoming the target of Owens’ fury.
Owens then challenged Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. At WWE Saturday Night Main Event, Rhodes successfully defended his title, defeating Owens. However, Owens didn’t stop there; after the match, he hit Rhodes with a piledriver, sending him out of the arena on a stretcher.
Following the brutal piledriver move, Cody Rhodes has remained absent from TV. However, at the recent WWE live event at Madison Square Garden, Rhodes made a sensational return and shared a huge announcement with the fans in attendance.
