Kevin Owens, a top star in the WWE, did not hesitate in expressing his annoyance and frustration with the company’s recent tweet. The tweet in question used the term “ngl,” which stood for “no lie,” and Owens took offense to its usage. He responded to the tweet with a scathing reply, calling out the company for its lack of pride and accusing them of acting like a 12-year-old.

Owens’ promo on SmackDown had already been intense and emotional, as he addressed Cody Rhodes and their long-standing feud. He recalled the numerous assaults he had suffered at the hands of Rhodes and his cohorts, known as The OTC, over the years. Owens pointed out that despite all this, he had still given Rhodes the opportunity to team up with him at Bad Blood, only for Rhodes to betray him once again.

The promo had clearly struck a chord with Owens, and his response to the tweet only added to the intensity and emotion of the moment. His use of language was strong and confrontational, as he lambasted the company for its lack of maturity and pride. The tone was unapologetic and defiant, leaving little doubt as to how Owens truly felt about the situation.

The WWE has a history of using playful and laid-back language in its tweets, often to the tune of trending hashtags and memes. However, Owens’ response suggests that he feels this approach is not befitting of a professional wrestling company, particularly one that prides itself on being a dominant force in sports.

Owens’ passion and conviction are clearly evident in his response, and it is likely that this will not be the last word on the matter. The fallout from his promo and response will undoubtedly continue to unfold over the coming weeks, as Owens and Rhodes prepare to face off for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The match promises to be a highly competitive and intense bout, with both men looking to outdo each other and secure a major victory. Owens, in particular, has a lot riding on the outcome, as a win would be a significant milestone in his career. He has not held a major title in years, and the opportunity to do so would be a welcome one.

Despite the tension and animosity between the two competitors, it is clear that they have a deep respect for each other’s abilities and accomplishments. The stage is set for an epic battle, with Owens looking to prove himself as a top player in the company and Rhodes seeking to defend his title and establish himself as a dominant force in the ring.

The question on everyone’s mind is whether Owens will emerge victorious and claim the Undisputed WWE Championship. The answer will only be revealed on Saturday Night’s Main Event, but one thing is certain: the road to the title will be paved with blood, sweat, and tears, as these two wrestling giants clash in a battle for supremacy.
