10 Behind The Scenes Stories About Kevin Owens You Should Know
2. Introduced Cody Rhodes To The Independent Circuit
Cody Rhodes' exit from WWE in 2016 turned into a canon event in the pro-wrestling industry as he reinvented himself in the independent circuit, made friends along the way, and became instrumental in building a viable competition for WWE in All Elite Wrestling.
However, most people don't know that Kevin Owens played a small but significant role in these events. Growing up in an influential wrestling family, Cody Rhodes found the direct way to WWE and didn't spend any time on the independent circuit like most wrestlers, and when he chose to leave WWE in 2016, it was Kevin Owens who introduced him to the independent scenes and introduced him to The Young Bucks.
What happened next was a spiral of events that transformed Cody Rhodes' career and the pro wrestling industry as a whole as The American Nightmare went on to put together the 2018 "All In" event, which was the largest independent wrestling event in history. One thing led to another, and along with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega, Rhodes got in touch with Tony Khan, and the rest is history. It's safe to say that Kevin Owens is the Anchor Being of this entire story.
