Ahead of their clash at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes delivered their final messages to each other on the December 13th episode of WWE SmackDown.
As Rhodes was potentially going to unveil the gold gift given to him by Triple H, he was interrupted by Owens, who was once again in his car. Owens said that Rhodes was as bad of a friend as he was a son and husband. He then said that the truth is, Cody was way more interesting as Stardust.
Cody decided he wasn't going to wait for Saturday, looking to fight Owens backstage.
Owens got the jump on the Undisputed WWE Champion, and the two brawled to the ring. As officials separated them, Owens laid out Cody with a belt shot to the head.
