Owens’ aggression towards Randy Orton occurred subsequent to the Canadian performer’s attack on Cody Rhodes after the WWE Bad Blood pay-per-view event in Atlanta.
The preparedness of Rhodes to partner up with Roman Reigns for the said event had been a bone of contention with Owens for some time, which has now escalated dramatically.
