Kevin Owens Names The Three Things He Doesn’t Like About Cody Rhodes

Kevin Owens is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship this Saturday at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, and he’s not mincing words about his disdain for “The American Nightmare.”

During a recent interview with MuscleMan Malcolm, Owens took exception to being compared to the Grinch, stating, “I think there’s a lot more people that understand where I’m coming from than you might think, honestly. I don’t think anybody sees me a Grinch. I take offense to that, sir.”

Owens then proceeded to air his grievances with Rhodes, outlining three specific things that irk him about the champion:

1. The “Quarterback” Moniker: “He made his own tracksuit, like his own WWE tracksuit with the American Nightmare logo. He had ‘QB’ stitched on the breast, like Quarterback. He’s going around telling people that he was made Quarterback of this era. Nobody is calling him a Quarterback, except for himself. That’s one thing.”
2. Rhodes’s Lavish Lifestyle: “On television, he talked about how I had a Lamborghini, which I guess that offends him. He owns his own tour bus and has a chauffeur. He has a driveR that drives him around.”
3. The Bleached Blonde Hair Influence: “The third thing I don’t like about him. He has this bleached blonde hair, which is not his natural color and that’s fine for him. What’s happening is all over America I’ve noticed parents bleaching their children’s hair so that they can look like Cody. You’ll see it every week when he comes out. These parents are shoving their child at Cody and they have the jacket. They have the bleached blonde [hair]. That’s not good these chemicals in your kid’s hair. I think he’s promoting a very unhealthy habit that Americans specifically are putting their kids through…”

Beyond his issues with Rhodes, Owens also discussed his desire to wrestle Shawn Michaels and his past attempts to make the dream match a reality.

When asked about his social media presence, Owens offered a blunt assessment: “Don’t follow me. I have nothing good to say. Social media is terrible…I don’t support it, just go outside.”

Saturday Night’s Main Event airs live at 8/7 central on NBC and Peacock. Watch the entire KO interview below.
