Cody Rhodes says Kevin Owens is intimidated by his suits game.
The Undisputed WWE Champion appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Falon to promote the revival of Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. He discussed things such as the new era of WWE, the new management of the company, having his mother in his corner for WrestleMania 40, and more.
Discussing the upcoming NBC event, Rhodes credited the trio of Triple H, Nick Khan, and Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson for bringing back the classic show. The American Nightmare also teased some surprises for the night:
“I think 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.”
Issue With Their Manhood: Cody Rhodes
When asked about his Saturday Night’s Main Event opponent Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes told a story. He discussed how he started wearing suits regularly in 2015. The current champion noted that he’s made references to people who are intimidated by his suits game because of their own insecurities:
“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. I didn’t feel pretentious about it. I wasn’t holding it over anybody. I just wanted to feel that. How I looked, right?
Well, I have said in the past that there are men in the wrestling game intimidated by the whole suit thing. 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 is late night. 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. So make your own assumptions there as to what that means. That is my opponent for Saturday Night’s Main Event.”
KO seemingly responded to this jab from his former friend on Twitter. He posted a photo of himself wearing a John Cena T-shirt, someone who Rhodes considers one of his idols:
