Pat McAfee Responds To CM Punk’s WWE RAW Pipebomb
Pat McAfee has now come out with a reaction to CM Punk’s latest promo, where he berated the former WWE commentator.
This past Friday on SmackDown, Pat McAfee was revealed to be the man behind Randy Orton’s recent heel transformation.
The decision did not sit well with WWE fans and analysts who are making their voices heard across social media.
McAfee attacked Rhodes in the opening segment before naming him as the reason behind WWE’s current poor product. He then confirmed his alliance with Randy Orton, claiming that The Viper will “save the business”.
Cody Rhodes later responded to McAfee with a scathing promo of his own later on in the show, insulting McAfee and TKO’s higher-ups for pushing him into the feud in an attempt to sell WrestleMania 42 tickets, which are reportedly underselling at the moment.
Surprisingly, CM Punk dropped another one of his signature “pipebombs” on the latest episode of Raw and went after McAfee in the promo, calling him MAGA-fee and even demanding McAfee’s agent, TKO CEO Ari Emanuel, cut WrestleMania 42 prices to sell more tickets rather than including McAfee in one of the feuds.
Pat McAfee Reacts To CM Punk’s Pipebomb Promo Targeting Him
Pat McAfee responded to CM Punk on his show, The Pat McAfee Show.
McAfee reiterated that Randy Orton will save everything and threw shade at Punk for devaluing himself in the promo.
Pat MAGAfee? What? What is that about? CM Punk, last night, calling me Pat MAGAfee and attacked a lot of things. Then he would lay out why he is not worth the price of admission to WrestleMania. ‘Lower the prices now. I’m not worth that much.’ No worries, Mr. Punk. Randy Orton is here to save everything.”
Fans and analysts are not backing down with their backlash against TKO’s decision to include McAfee in the main event feud at WrestleMania 42; however, the former NFL star seems to be soaking up all the heat and seems unfazed by it.
