Footage has emerged of WWE star Kevin Owens ‘attacking’ Randy Orton just days after the Canadian wrestler was involved in a brawl with Cody Rhodes.
After weeks of built-up tension, Owens finally snapped at Rhodes following WWE Bad Blood, when he attacked the American after the show had gone off air.
On Friday’s edition of Smackdown, after attempting to explain his actions, Owens came to blows with Orton due to his close bond with Rhodes.
However, the scuffle wasn’t resolved in the ring and again continued after the WWE cameras stopped rolling as the pair were involved in a brutal scrap following the show.
CCTV footage posted by Sports Illustrated shows Owens and Orton involved in a heated exchange of words before Owens began yet another attack on a fellow superstar.
Owens sent Orton to the floor before proceeding to ‘ground and pound’ the Viper until security intervened in similar fashion as the incident involving Rhodes.
WWE didn’t film or post the scrap, but have now retweeted the original video on their X account.
You can see the footage below.
WWE are yet to comment on the incident but WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H – real name Paul Levesque – did make his feelings very clear on the Owens’ initial attack last week.
He said that the matter would be ‘dealt with internally.’
On X, he wrote: “We are aware of the incident outside of the arena last night between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens. The matter will be dealt with internally.”
Owens was subsequently fined and suspended for his actions.
The Prizefighter had been pals with both Rhodes and Orton until recently, with the trio linking up to square off against the dominant Bloodline faction.
Following a UK tour this week, WWE’s next big show is the Crown Jewel premium live event in Saudi Arabia.
