Pat McAfee Makes WWE Career Announcement After SmackDown Return


Pat McAfee is making a deal with IWC.

The 38-year-old made a surprise return to WWE TV on SmackDown this week, attacking Cody Rhodes as he confronted Randy Orton. McAfee then cut a promo talking about how he was tired of watching 5’5” wrestlers competing in long matches on TV while someone like the Viper was still around.

The former Raw commentator continued his tirade on social media after this segment. He first confirmed that he was the one talking to Randy on the phone over the last few weeks. McAfee then announced that he will leave not only WWE but wrestling if The Legend Killer fails to win his Undisputed title match at WrestleMania 42:

How about that, marks? Never back on any wrestling television, if Randy Orton loses at WrestleMania. I don't know how long the business will last if that happens. But I will never come back.

Cody Rhodes made a second appearance on the show later on. He cut a passionate promo, burying the underwhelming reveal and suggesting that someone else was behind the whole thing.

The fans have also been vocal about McAfee being revealed as the mystery person behind Randy Orton's recent actions. You can check out some fan reactions to the segment here.
