Ghost of Kevin Owens’ past to make WWE return after two years to cost him at Royal Rumble? Possibility analyzed
The storyline of Kevin Owens has been gaining significant attention in the WWE Universe. Fans are eager to see what will happen when Owens locks horns with Cody Rhodes again in a ladder match at Royal Rumble 2025. During the first SmackDown of 2025, KO also engaged in a heated altercation with The American Nightmare.
Amid this, there is a possibility that the ghost of Kevin Owens' past, Stone Cold Steve Austin, might make his WWE return and cost him at Royal Rumble 2025. Both Stone Cold and Kevin Owens are well-acquainted with each other due to their past rivalry at WrestleMania. During the Road to 'Mania 38, Owens mocked the Texas Rattlesnake, prompting Austin to come out of retirement and eventually clash with KO.
The veteran defeated the former Universal Champion in an impressive thriller. Now that KO has returned to his villainous persona, there is a slight chance that Stone Cold might resurface in the Stamford-based promotion to reignite his rivalry with the SmackDown star. The heel version of Kevin Owens has already been well-received by fans.
Even Triple H has recently incorporated himself into the storyline to elevate Owens' character to new heights. Adding Stone Cold Steve Austin into the mix could further enhance his character. This could also set up a rematch between Stone Cold and Owens, allowing KO to seek redemption for his previous loss.
Overall, Royal Rumble 2025 is envisioned to deliver major surprises and shocking twists. It will be intriguing to see whether Stone Cold will be one of the shocks at this Premium Live Event.
Will Kevin Owens finally conquer Cody Rhodes at WWE Royal Rumble 2025?
Indeed, Kevin Owens presently has all the momentum heading toward Royal Rumble 2025. Even though he has a substantial buzz around his name, it still seems unlikely that KO will defeat The American Nightmare.
This assumption is based on recent reports suggesting that a match between Rhodes and John Cena could be in discussion for the WrestleMania 41 card. The Cenation Leader will begin his retirement tour on January 6, 2025. This signifies that at WrestleMania 41, Cena might get a final shot at a World title by locking horns with Cody Rhodes in an Undisputed WWE Title match.
With the prospect of Rhodes defending the World title at The Grandest Stage of Them All, it is likely that KO will fall short once again at Rumble 2025. This would allow Cody to retain his title for a future defense at WrestleMania.
