Update on Kevin Owens and Randy Orton’s feud

The WWE SmackDown episode aired on the night of Friday, October 11, left fans in shock, but the chaos in the ring was as explosive as what took place behind the scenes. After the already extremely intense fight involving Cody Rhodes and especially Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, an exclusive video of a “security camera” began circulating that reveals the brutal attack in the backstage carried out by KO to the detriment of The Viper, and which has further increased the tension and dramatic effect of the affair.

During the SmackDown episode in question, Kevin Owens broke into the ring and with microphone in his hand he let out his frustrations. He revealed that WWE had fined him and suspended him for his previous assault on Cody Rhodes, ordering him not to take part in the event aired from Greenville, South Carolina. Despite this, the Canadian couldn’t stay away from American Nightmare and the situation exploded when Randy Orton stepped in to calm things down. But this has had as its main consequence for him the fact of becoming the target of the anger of a furious KO.

As the tensions in the ring increased, the action soon moved backstage. In the social media footage from SI Wrestling, the Twitter account that ‘Sports Illustrated’ uses to cover the discipline, fans can now see what happened behind the scenes before the attack. The video shows Kevin Owens and Randy Orton walking backstage, apparently talking. However, at a certain point, without warning, KO attacks the colleague, triggering a violent assault on him. The footage captures the intensity of the moment as the Canadian hits one punch at a time, targeting the Apex Predator mercilessly.
