As WWE prepares for its post-Christmas house show tour that includes stops in major cities in the United States, such as New York City and Chicago, Kevin Owens continues to turn up the heat coming out of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Cody Rhodes retained the WWE Championship against Owens in the main event of Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, after the match, Owens, out of frustration, attacked Rhodes, hitting him with two piledrivers. Rhodes was stretchered out of the arena.
Owens took to Twitter today to declare that he would be wrestling at these upcoming events as the true WWE Champion with the Winged Eagle Title.
He wrote, “BALLZ!!! Now that I have your attention, I have great news for you all! I am proud to officially announce that I will be competing in my first matches as your new, true WWE Champion on this year’s Holiday loop (that’s a term people in ‘the business’ use that refers to a string of consecutive shows in different cities over a short period of time) starting in Jacksonville on the 26th, followed by 3 more shows in Florida and then one in Detroit for some reason. Be there to witness history! Oh, the Raw crew has shows too. Whatever.”
As seen below, the dates listed are the same as the ones Rhodes posted last week before the attack storyline injuries were announced:
