Kenobi's force push disarmed Grievous entirely.

no but it disarmed him just the same, had kenobi been able to hold onto his saber and use it in their final tussle it'd have been over a lot sooner and easier for Obi
Doubtful. Maul should still be capable of telekinetically dominating him by this point tbh. Or, at the very least, distract him long enough for Grievous to retrieve his blades if he was disarmed.

The question isn't if kenobi can take care of grevious via force use(given the degree tcw kenobi has ragdolled the crap out of grevious), its whether he would get the oppurtunity given grevious being far faster. And if kenobi is dealing with grevious, well we've already seen what maul can do to kenobi(albeit a prior incarnation) with his guard down or when he's distracted on florrum
Do you think he'll manage that whilst simultaneously combating someone like Maul or Dooku? Because I don't think he'd allow himself to be caught in a saber lock if that's the case given the vulnerable position that would leave him in against a secondary opponent.

Also, Kenobi is more than capable of holding his own against 4 sabers or two Sith opponents as he has shown in ROTS and TCW; based on his showings against Maul/Savage alone I say he can hold Maul and the General off long enough for Anakin to dice Dooku up and even the odds.
My apologies, I was thinking of another instance in regards to Grievous being vulnerable to telekinetic counters. My main point here is, do you think Kenobi would be able to gather the power to accomplish such a feat whilst dealing with a secondary combatant without leaving himself open to counters from another Force user? This is especially relevant as both Maul and Dooku have shown the power to telekinetically dominate a prepared Kenobi in the past let alone one focusing his power on another task.

Savage is nowhere near as formidable a lightsaber combatant as Grievous is and as Shadow Conspiracy notes the environment was in his favor and the factors leading up to Kenobi's fight with the brother's amped him. Maul himself also logically improved in regards to skill and as an overall lightsaber combatant given he was readjusting after decades of atrophy and was confirmed to have grown in power throughout the Clone Wars. In an open space Kenobi would be dominated by SoD Maul and Grievous.

First off the factors given in sod were clearly retconned in the actual tcw fight where the brothers took seperate sides of kenobi and never got in each othe's way.
Second off, sod said nothing about kenobi being amped. That head canon came from people taking feloni's word out of context when in the same interview he denied the amplification being external. We also have multiple examples of kenobi focusing himslef at will, and his own statement he can do this.
The only circumstances favoring kenobi was him having two blades and possibly the duo being hindered by having to take seperate sides.
Kenobi had to use a secondary style which has been stated to be inferior to his use of soresu which would be a factor against him.
While it is indeed asinine to assert that kenobi can simultaneously deal with grevious(someone who is more skilled than both maul and oppress and has outdueled post season 5 kenobi)= and maul, its equally baseless to claim kenobi was amped or his performance here was circumstantial
