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.
