Cody Rhodes calls out Kevin Owens on WWE SmackDown, confronted by Nick Aldis

Cody Rhodes wanted Kevin Owens in the ring on WWE Smackdown, but Nick Aldis said it wasn’t going to happen. Friday night’s show saw Rhodes start in the ring wanting Owens to come down and respond for putting out Randy Orton with an pile driver.

However, it was Aldis who came to the ring and said that Owens was not there due to him crossing the line with the pile driver and that the situation was being handled internally. Rhodes said Aldis gave Owens what he wanted and made him a martyr. He asked Aldis to imagine being in the ambulance with Orton and talking to his family and saying, “If I can’t handle my business in the ring, what do you expect me to do?” He said he wanted to fight Owens in his front yard, but he didn’t think Aldis wanted the man who represents WWE to do it. He said it’s up to Aldis and he wouldn’t wait long before he left.
