Kevin Owens does not like Cody Rhodes, and he has his reasons.
Owens recently spoke with Muscle Man Malcolm ahead of his WWE Championship match against Rhodes this weekend at Saturday Night’s Main Event. When asked to name three specific things he doesn’t like about his upcoming opponent, Owens did not hesitate to answer.
The first thing Owens says he does not like about Rhodes is that he made his own tracksuit:
He made his own tracksuit, like his own WWE tracksuit with the American Nightmare logo, but he had ‘QB’ stitched on the breast here, like quarterback. He’s going around telling people that he was made quarterback of this era. Nobody’s calling him the quarterback except himself. That’s one thing.
Owens then moved on to the second thing he does not like about Rhodes.
On television, he talked about how I had a Lamborghini, which I guess that offends him. He owns his own tour bus and has a chauffeur. He has a driver that drives him around. So that’s also a thing.
And finally, Owens says the third thing he does not like about Cody Rhodes is that parents across the United States are bleaching their children’s hair blonde in celebration of him.
The third thing I don’t like about him: So, he has this bleached hair right? Bleached blonde hair which is not his natural color and that’s fine for him. But what’s happening is all over America I’ve noticed parents bleaching their children’s hair so that they can look like Cody.
You’ll see it every week when he comes out these parents are shoving their child at Cody and they have the jacket and they have the bleached blonde (hair). That’s not good—these chemicals in your kids’ hair. So I think he’s promoting a very unhealthy habit that Americans specifically are putting their kids through, against their will, I’m sure.
