Ilja Dragunov-WWE Update, HBK Superkicks Kevin Owens, WWE Legends Attend SNME, More
During this week’s episode of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes officially signed the contract for their Ladder Match at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.
Things turned physical when Owens attacked Shawn Michaels.
After Cody said he was done talking, Michaels told Owens that it sounded like he was “jealous.” That led to Owens accusing HBK of being a quitter. He went for a cheap shot on Cody Rhodes, and when Shawn Michaels got in the middle of two, Owens attempted to hit the Heartbreak Kid with a piledriver. Cody stopped it, which allowed Michaels to hit a Sweet Chin Music on Owens.
