Kevin Owens is not your average challenger. After losing to Cody Rhodes twice in Undisputed WWE Championship matches, most wrestlers would be at catering sulking over a cold salad. But Owens? He’s too busy powerbombing Rhodes into oblivion post-match and storming into Triple H’s office like a man late for a meeting with destiny.
Now, the question isn’t if Owens will get another shot at Cody—it’s when.
Two Shows, One Rematch?
According to wrestling guru Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, a third clash between Rhodes and Owens is in the works. WWE is reportedly eyeing two major events to host this feud-ending showdown:
- Raw’s Netflix Debut (January 6, 2025): WWE is going all-in on making this premiere must-see TV, already teasing headline matches like CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa. Adding Cody vs. Owens III could overload the card like a poorly packed suitcase.
- Royal Rumble (February 1, 2025): With its rich history of iconic matches, the Rumble might be the perfect stage. It also gives Owens the chance to complete his Royal Rumble hat trick of title match losses after coming up short in 2021 and 2023. Third time’s the charm? Or just another KO heartbreak special?
Why Owens Deserves the Shot
- Owens isn’t just relentless—he’s also got the receipts. His attack on Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event left the champ battered and sparked intrigue over whether Cody can truly keep him at bay.
- His heated backstage confrontation with Triple H reportedly sent catering staff scattering like it was a brawl in a Royal Rumble parking lot.
Whether the rematch happens on Netflix’s Raw debut or at the Rumble, one thing’s for sure: when Owens and Rhodes face off again, neck braces and ice packs better be on standby.
