Pat McAfee Trolls Fans During WrestleMania 42 Week

Pat McAfee stirred up a strong reaction from fans during WrestleMania 42 week by appearing on the WWE World LED board with a pre-recorded video that teased a major announcement before shifting into insults and hype for Randy Orton’s title match.

The video opened as if McAfee was about to reveal a surprise, playing into expectations that a major debut or signing could be announced. “Huge surprise, nerds. The surprise that you thought was maybe going to be your favorite wrestler of all time, maybe somebody from AEW was going to sign with WWE at WrestleMania, and you marks were gonna get zipper burn all over yourself. Instead, well well well, Pat McAfee’s smarter than all you dumb marks yet again.”

The crowd responded with boos as McAfee continued, targeting fans directly while referencing his home state. “Just know that I am on my way to the city that you creatures are certainly taken over. I can smell all of your lowlife disgusting bodies all the way here in Indiana. And when I get to that town, and I’m talking to you little kid on your dad’s shoulders too, when I get to that town you should all be thanking me and Randy Orton as soon as I touch the turf in the desert.”

He then shifted focus to WrestleMania 42, building up what he and Orton plan to do during the event. “What me and Randy are about to do to your entire WrestleMania weekend is something that you can’t prepare for, you can’t control. And you, fat slob sitting right up close to the gate, you’re gonna be crying your a* off as you leave WrestleMania knowing that what was, what you all let happen, is over. And Randy Orton is about to run this industry back to what it’s supposed to be, out of your dumba** hands.”

The segment added more attention to McAfee’s involvement in the WrestleMania 42 main event picture, where he is set to be in Orton’s corner against Cody Rhodes.
