As we previously reported here on eWn, Kevin Owens attacked Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes in the parking lot following Saturday night’s WWE Bad Blood pay-per-view event.
WWE intentionally executed the angle between Owens and Cody in full view of the fans who were waiting to see the talent exit the arena after the show. The pre-planned segment took place in front of Rhodes’ tour bus. The idea was to try and create a viral moment on the internet, as WWE officials knew they could “work” some of their “non-smart mark” fans into believing it was a “shoot” and they’d post the videos on social media, which would in turn go viral.
WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H’ Levesque took to Twitter on Sunday to issue a statement on the matter. He wrote,
“We are aware of the incident outside of the arena last night between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens. The matter will be dealt with internally.”
