Pat McAfee was revealed as Randy Orton’s mystery caller last
night on Smackdown and joined in on an attack on WWE
champion Cody Rhodes.
McAfee, who a few weeks ago said that he was not returning
to WWE and that the business has past him and they were in a
good spot with the current commentary team, showed up in the
ring as Orton and Rhodes were fighting, low blowing Rhodes.
McAfee was sporting a Randy Orton t-shirt and after some
more beat down, grabbed a mic to speak to the St. Louis
crowd.
He said business was “absolute shit” and it was going in a
direction that no one liked. He questioned why he would
watch an iron man match if there’s Randy Orton around and
mentioned that with Rhodes as champion, Smackdown had the
worst-rated episode of all time.
McAfee then said with Randy Orton as WWE champion, he was
going to “save the f*cking business.”
As you can imagine, with the show in St. Louis, Orton was
massively cheered even during the beatdowns. While McAfee
did get some boos, the segment did nothing to turn the crowd
on Orton.
Later in the broadcast, Rhodes appeared again, pretty pissed
off, and said that Randy Orton revealing Pat McAfee as his
mystery caller was like if Kevin Nash and Scott Hall of the
nWo had Disco Inferno as the third man instead of Hulk
Hogan. That is a jab towards Inferno from a tweet years ago
which Cody wrote, bashing him that he never drew a dime.
Rhodes promised that one way or another, McAfee will get his
receipt.
