As noted before, last week WWE SmackDown show in St. Louis, Missouri featured Pat McAfee making a surprise return to WWE and turning heel on Cody Rhodes. McAfee’s surprise return and involvement in the Randy Orton and Rhodes’ storyline feud for the Undisputed WWE Championship was met with a negative reaction from wrestling fans and it appears that WWE will be making some changes moving forward.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select is reporting that WWE has reworked some of the plans for this past Friday’s WWE SmackDown after the reaction to the storyline involving Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Pat McAfee.
WrestleVotes also says that additional outside involvement that was speculated to be Jelly Roll. It’s being said that the company went back to the drawing board to discuss any possibilities regarding the story.
Sources stated that CM Punk’s comments during his promo segment at this past Monday’s WWE RAW show were an indicator of the shift, and plans becoming fluid throughout the week. Punk’s comments were reportedly not part of the plan when Pat McAfee was revealed as the mystery called on Friday.
