During the latest episode of SmackDown, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes put on a show-stopping performance as he dove out of the ring onto Kevin Owens in a dramatic match. However, the night did not end well for Rhodes as he was stretchered out of the arena after the show went off the air.
Despite retaining his title over Owens, Rhodes was attacked by his opponent after the match ended. Fan footage shared on social media captured the moment when Owens hit Rhodes with his signature move, the Package Piledriver. This move, which has been banned by WWE for a long time, involves turning an opponent upside down and driving their head into the mat.
The move has a history of going wrong, with even legendary wrestler 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin suffering a broken neck in a match with Owen Hart. As Rhodes was loaded onto a stretcher and taken out of the ring, Owens stole the title belt and left the arena. It was a shocking turn of events after months of intense rivalry between the two wrestlers.
As Owens reached the end of the ramp, he got into a heated confrontation with real-life WWE boss Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, who seemed furious over his actions. This incident adds another layer to Owens' ongoing storyline, as he continues to blur the lines between reality and wrestling in a captivating manner.
Although WWE has yet to officially acknowledge the attack on its social media accounts, this is not the first time Owens has used the Piledriver. Last month, he used the same move to attack Randy Orton on SmackDown, leading to Orton being stretchered out of the arena.
At Saturday Night's Main Event, the first Women's United States Champion was crowned as Chelsea Green defeated Michin in the tournament final. Liv Morgan and GUNTHER also held onto their respective world championships, with Morgan defeating Iyo Sky and GUNTHER outlasting Finn Balor and Damian Priest.
In the opening bout, Drew McIntyre started his fight against The OG Bloodline with a win over Sami Zayn. But the highlight of the night was the shocking attack on Cody Rhodes by Kevin Owens, which left fans gasping in shock. As Rhodes was wheeled away in an ambulance with Orton by his side, it was a reminder of the dangerous nature of professional wrestling.
