Cody Rhodes believes that his WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event opponent, Kevin Owens, is frustrated with him because of the suits he wears.
WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote the revival of Saturday Night’s Main Event, set to air December 14 on NBC. The champion discussed a range of topics, including the evolution of WWE, the company’s new leadership, and his plans for WrestleMania 40, where his mother will be in his corner. Rhodes credited Triple H, Nick Khan, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for bringing back the beloved wrestling program, promising an unforgettable night.
Not only are we bringing back an exceptional card, great matches, great show, but there might be a few surprises here and there. Some things.
When the conversation shifted to his opponent for Saturday Night’s Main Event, Kevin Owens, Rhodes delved into a playful yet pointed anecdote about his trademark style—specifically his penchant for suits.
I’ll tell you a story, I started wearing suits all the time. It was around 2015. It just became this thing. I wanted to represent wrestling and sports entertainment in a different way. So always suits, always customs.
While emphasising that his wardrobe wasn’t meant to be pretentious, Rhodes suggested that some wrestlers, including Owens, might feel insecure about his sartorial choices.
Typically what I’ll say is, ‘I think they have an issue with their manhood.’ If you know…I don’t want to use any crass language here. It’s Thanksgiving. Yeah. I don’t want to say the word, you know…Penis. But no one has been more frustrated and upset with the fact that I wear suits than Kevin Owens.
Owens seemed to take the jab in stride, responding with a photo on X of himself sporting a John Cena T-shirt—a playful nod to Rhodes’ admiration for Cena. Fans eagerly anticipate the showdown between the two at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14th.
I would have been so much better.
I’d have looked a lot cooler too. pic.twitter.com/dt9h6uqmDR
