Pat McAfee made a shocking return to WWE on Friday’s SmackDown from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, revealing himself as the mystery person who has been on the phone with Randy Orton for weeks.
During the opening segment featuring Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, Rhodes launched an attack on “The Viper.” However, the situation quickly took a shocking turn when Pat McAfee stepped into the ring wearing a RKO shirt and hit Cody with a low blow. McAfee continued to stomp Cody as Randy grabbed a chair.
McAfee said that he was asked when he was going to return to WWE, and he thought the business had passed him by. He continued as he told the fans that Randy Orton told him the business hadn’t passed him by, it’s just turned in a business none of us like. Pat said he asked Randy, “Who’s us?” McAfee said he’s talking about the Attitude Era fans who launched the company to new heights, and he said they’ve been forgotten about.
Pat talked trash about modern WWE and said that he doesn’t want to turn on TV and watch 5 foot 5 guys compete in 45 minute iron man matches when Randy Orton is around. As McAfee was talking Randy continued to beat Cody down. He confirmed he’s been the one on the phone, and he’s been telling Randy to kill everything. Pat said the business Cody is leading has been terrible and Randy is going to “save the f*****g business.”
