Pat McAfee has fired back at CM Punk.
WWE had put the Straight Edge Star forward on this past Monday's Raw in an effort to salvage the McAfee storyline after it was universally panned. Doing what he does best, Punk had cut an intense promo calling out the TKO brass' MAGA affiliation through McAfee and asking the WWE owners to lower the ticket prices.
The former NFL star responded to these jabs with a promo of his own during the latest episode of SmackDown. Pat McAfee claimed that it's hard for him to take a spineless bum like CM Punk seriously because he has a brain. He mentioned how Punk was talking about fans while wearing multiple layers of officially licensed merchandise and took a jab at the former AEW star agreeing to work Saudi events:
He’s got 283 things for sale to all of you. I wonder to myself, when that TKO merch check comes through, which account does it go to? Does it go to the needy wrestling families who can’t afford WrestleMania tickets? Or, just simple question and I have a sneaky suspicion that money from the TKO merch account goes right into the bank account titled, ‘I’m sorry, Saudi Arabia.’ He’s a fraud like a politician – all talk, no action.
Pat McAfee later claimed that Punk had the opportunity to change things, but then got into a room and rolled over like the little bitch he is. The former Raw commentator also revealed his promised 'massive announcement', which turned out to be another massive dud.
Cody Rhodes came out next to confront McAfee. After some more heated words, including a line about Cody sucking Triple H's ass, the segment ended in a brawl with Randy Orton and Jelly Roll also getting involved. Randy and Pat got the upper hand in this fight and they finally left with the WWE title.
