Cody Rhodes did enough to defeat Kevin Owens and retain the Undisputed WWE Championship but the celebration was short-lived.
Owens attacked Rhodes after the Saturday Night’s Main Event show went off the air and performed a piledriver on the champion. Rhodes did not move after the attack and had to be carried out of the arena on a stretcher.
With Rhodes laid out in the middle of the ring, Owens picked up the Winged Eagle championship and began taunting the crowd.
As Owens was headed backstage, he was approached and shoved by Paul “Triple H” Levesque. The confrontation was first seen by fans in the arena who shared the footage on social media.
