Kevin Owens’ recent behavior has been a topic of discussion in the WWE, and his latest actions have pushed the envelope too far. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Owens assaulted Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, with a Package Piledriver, forcing medical officials to stretcher him out of the arena. This behavior is consistent with Owens’ actions over the past few weeks, where he has shown no respect for the rules and has attacked officials and superstars.
However, it was Triple H who took matters into his own hands, heading down to the ring and having an altercation with Owens. Triple H hasn’t been able to wrestle for several years due to health issues, but this could be a sign that he is looking to make a comeback for his retirement match. Here are four reasons why Triple H attacked Kevin Owens.
Firstly, Cody Rhodes is a close friend of Triple H, and he saw Kevin Owens celebrating with the title he gave him. This could have pushed his hand and forced him to attack without thinking, knowing that he could be in trouble himself. Secondly, Kevin Owens’ actions are costing WWE money, as Cody Rhodes is out of action due to the attack. It’s unclear how long Rhodes will be out, but Triple H reacted the way he did because Kevin Owens’ actions were selfish.
Thirdly, someone needed to step in and put a stop to Owens’ behavior, which has been going on for months. Owens has been creating havoc since Bad Blood, and it seems that it was time for someone to finally step in and make it clear that he can’t act this way. Finally, Triple H might see this as an opportunity to finally have a retirement match, which is something he has been denied in the past. With Seth Rollins and CM Punk set to collide on RAW in January, there could be an open spot in the main event of WrestleMania Night One, which could belong to Triple H if there is a way for him to step back into the ring one last time.
