WWE superstar Kevin Owens has been vocal about feeling disrespected recently. The 40-year-old former world champion has expressed uncertainty about his future on SmackDown, stating that he's not sure if or when he'll be returning to the ring. This comes after a series of shocking events, including his untelevised assault on Cody Rhodes and his attack on Randy Orton.
In a video shared on social media, the Prizefighter shared his thoughts on the situation. "I have to be honest with everyone," he said, "with everything that's been going on, between the lack of respect from WWE and Randy betraying my trust like that, I don't know if I can come back." Owens also pointed out the hypocrisy of the company's actions, claiming that they have turned a blind eye to other Superstars' attacks while punishing him for his actions.
"I've been with WWE for over 10 years now," he continued, "and I've had my fair share of ups and downs. But right now, things have never felt as bad as they do." The wrestler then addressed the incident with Cody Rhodes, where he was told to stay home and not come to SmackDown, the show he belongs to. "It's just so unfair and ridiculous," he stated, "especially when you consider all the things we've seen Superstars do to each other both in and out of the ring."
Owens then turned his attention to Randy Orton, who he accused of betraying him. "I can't believe you would do that to me, Randy," he said, "I never would have done that to you. I thought we had something special. But then you go and choose Cody Rhodes over me? That's just low."
This ongoing storyline between Owens, Orton, and Rhodes has been blurring the lines between fiction and reality. This is not the first time Owens has stirred up controversy, as he confirmed earlier this year that his contract with WWE is set to expire in 2025. He also expressed that he doesn't take his time with the company for granted and is unsure of what the future holds.
Despite rumors of interest from AEW, Owens has no intention of leaving WWE, especially after spending a decade with the company and forming strong relationships with his colleagues. "This has been my home for 10 years," he said, "and it's more than just the locker room. There are some very special people behind the scenes who I've grown close to, and I can't imagine not having them in my life."
Fans can catch Owens and all the action on WWE SmackDown, airing on Friday nights at 1am on TNT Sports 1.
