Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship
WWE’s official preview:
ody Rhodes will go head-to-head with Kevin Owens as Saturday Night’s Main Event returns to NBC.
Once united with The American Nightmare against The Bloodline, Owens felt betrayed when Rhodes decided to team with their mutual adversary Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of the reconfigured faction. After Rhodes and Reigns won that historic tag team match at WWE Bad Blood, KO savagely attacked the Undisputed WWE Champion in the parking lot.
Owens then turned his rage against Randy Orton and put The Viper out of action with an illegal piledriver. Despite his egregious behavior, Owens insisted the The American Nightmare was to blame for everything and that the Undisputed WWE Title had caused Rhodes to lose his way.
Rhodes was determined to make Owens pay, and when they finally came face-to-face, he issued the challenge that could only be settled on Saturday Night’s Main Event.
