Kevin Owens: Cody Rhodes Has Always Been Obsessed With Being A Top Guy. I've Been There, It Wasn’t Very Healthy

Kevin Owens continues to criticize Cody Rhodes.

Owens has been chomping at 'The American Nightmare' for months at this point, critcizing the way that he conducts himself and the hypocritical traits that he brings to the table as one of the head honchos of WWE.

Recently, Owens made headlines for his comments towards Rhodes' QB1 moniker, saying that nobody is calling him that except for himself. While chatting with The South Kongress Podcast for a new interview, Owens continued to tear down the nickname, calling Rhodes insane for using it.

“Just what you said now is a great example. Who calls themselves QB1? Who gets the letters QB stitched on their own jacket? There’s nobody going around calling Cody Rhodes the Quarterback, he’s calling himself that. I just find that so insane."

Owens then continued on and noted that Rhodes is actually the one that is obsessed with being a top guy in WWE.

"It’s television, it’s a show, but a few weeks ago, he was standing in the ring when I was on the announce table talking about how I’m obsessed with being a top guy this and that. It actually shocked me how little he knows me in that he thinks that’s what I’m concerned with. Again, I think he can turn all of those things that he said to himself. He’s the one that left in 2016 because he wasn’t happy, didn’t like the opportunities, didn’t like the way he was portrayed, all that stuff. He came back, he was always obsessed with being the top guy, being the quarterback, whatever you wanna call it. I’ve been there, I was there, obsessed. I realized it wasn’t very healthy and eventually my point of view changed. I don’t know, there’s just a limit to how much arrogance I can take, I guess.”

Owens will look to take out his frustrations on Rhodes this weekend, as he'll challenge him for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Check out the updated lineup for the show by clicking here.
