After the cameras were turned off, fan footage showed Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes having a heated exchange with friend Kevin Owens next to Rhodes’ tour bus.

Suddenly, Owens attacked Rhodes and proceeded to pummel him until security came to stop him.

Dozens of fans can be seen filming the attack. Owens then left in his Lamborghini.

Owens has recently shown contempt toward Rhodes for teaming with Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and the current Bloodline.

Rhodes and Owens had previously joined forces along with Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Randy Orton to battle the previous Bloodline, consisting of Reigns, Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, Dwayne Johnson, and Paul Heyman.

Now, it looks like the story at Bloodline wasn’t whether Rhodes and Reigns could coexist, but if Owens could tolerate them coexisting.

This year, Owens teamed with Rhodes and Orton to defeat the Bloodline at Money in the Bank. He would then challenge Rhodes for the WWE Championship at Bash in Berlin, although he wasn’t able to tap into his patented ferocity to finish the job.

Now, it seems like he would have no problem doing that.

Owens began his wrestling career under his real name, Kevin Steen, in 2000. He wrestled for such promotions like Ring of Honor (ROH), Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG), and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW).

Owens signed with WWE in 2014, working with the developmental brand NXT. He would quickly become NXT Champion before being promoted to the main roster in 2015, where he would have memorable feuds with John Cena, Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley in AEW), Zayn, and, of course, the Bloodline.

Throughout his wrestling career, Owens has won the WWE Universal Championship, the WWE Intercontinental Championship (two times), the WWE United States Championship (three times), as well as the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship and WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship, both with Zayn.

Owens is the 23rd Grand Slam Champion in WWE history, meaning he won a world championship, two mid-card championships, and at least one tag team championship.
