Cody Rhodes Calls Out WWE After ESPN Insider's Response To Video Of Kevin Owens' Son
As noted yesterday, ESPN Radio's Amin Elhassan responded to a video that Kevin Owens' wife Karina posted of their son Owen's reaction to his father winning the WWE Universal Championship on RAW this past Monday night. Elhassan wrote:

Cody Rhodes took to Twitter regarding the incident, but instead of replying to Elhassan, he called out WWE. WWE has a working relationship with ESPN, as they are featured on the weekly "Off The Top Rope" segment on Wednesday nights, and ESPN recently launched a WWE vertical on their site. Cody told WWE to have balls, and said that they should cut ties with ESPN, as seen below:
WWE
Cut ties w/TMZ-they ran my Mother's 911 call
Cut ties w/ESPN-they insulted a child
Have balls. "'Mainstream" ain't always worth it.
