The WWE Universe is buzzing after the shocking turn of events following Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, 2024. The controversial main event saw Cody Rhodes retain his Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens, but it wasn’t without controversy. Cody, a babyface superstar, resorted to questionable heel tactics to secure the win, leaving fans and competitors alike outraged.
While the match itself stirred debate, the real drama unfolded after the cameras stopped rolling. In a jaw-dropping incident, Kevin Owens snapped at Cody Rhodes in a fit of frustration and rage, hitting him with a devastating Piledriver—a banned and dangerous move in WWE. The chaos didn’t stop there, as WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H rushed to the ring, leading to a heated altercation with Kevin Owens.

The aftermath of the main event was anything but scripted. Furious over Cody Rhodes’ controversial victory, Kevin Owens delivered a brutal Piledriver, a move so dangerous that it has been banned in WWE for years. Fans in attendance were left stunned as Cody, visibly shaken and limping, struggled to leave the ring following the attack.
