The Pat McAfee reveal is bringing chaos.
Randy Orton had teased the reveal of the mystery man that inspired his recent actions for this week's SmackDown. Though fans were not happy when the person behind the mystery call turned out to be none other than a returning Pat McAfee.
PWInsider provided some update on the turn of events after tonight's show. They suggested that the idea for this storyline did not originate from the WWE creative, and it was an edict from TKO officials instead:
Regarding the Pat McAfee reveal on SmackDown, those spoken to believe this was an edict from TKO brass to WWE creative, not an idea that originated in the WWE writing room, and was approved by Paul Levesque. One source believed the edict may have come from as far up as Ari Emanuel.
This is not the first we've heard of Emanuel being high on McAfee. Previous reports have suggested that the TKO Chairman sees the next big crossover Hollywood star in the former NFL Punter.
Cody Rhodes cut a promo on the underwhelming reveal later in the night, comparing McAfee to Disco Inferno. Now we'll have to see how this story progresses with only a couple of weeks remaining to WrestleMania.
