Pat McAfee appeared on “WWE SmackDown” to announce a reduction deal for WrestleMania Saturday and take aim at Cody Rhodes alongside Randy Orton.
McAfee got here out for his scheduled segment, having aligned with Orton in a bid to ‘save the business’ by helping him win the title at WrestleMania. But first he was confronted by fellow celebrity guest Jelly Roll, with Nick Aldis barely managing to maintain things cool between them.
When McAfee got here all the way down to the ring, he went into how and why he’s trying to save lots of the business and continued to run down the present state of the corporate. He took aim at CM Punk for his “MAGAFee” jibes, calling him a company fraud who takes money from TKO while also claiming to be on the side of fans.
He then announced that he had paired with RAM and asked them to cover a 25% discount for many who buy WrestleMania Saturday tickets from now until the top of “WWE Raw” on Monday, and emphasized that it will only apply for the Saturday card, set to be foremost evented by Rhodes and Orton. McAfee described the Sunday card as “a**.”
Rhodes eventually got here out as McAfee turned his attention to him, calling him a “play wrestler” and mentioning that McAfee had spent the past three years dancing on the announcer’s desk. So he would love him to decorate up as his favorite wrestler and get it out of his system before going back to whomever sent him and saying, “Thanks daddy.”
Eventually Orton was shown backstage to have attacked Jelly Roll and the segment ended after Orton beat Rhodes down, posing alongside McAfee with the WWE title belt. McAfee would ultimately leave “SmackDown” with Rhodes’ championship.
