WWE Forced To Cut SmackDown Broadcast After Non-PG Moment

WWE had no choice but to briefly cut the SmackDown feed due to a major star’s non-PG moment.

Following his shocking return last Friday to align with Randy Orton, Pat McAfee appeared on tonight’s episode of the blue brand to address his heel turn.

After a heated backstage confrontation with Jelly Roll, the former NFL star headed to the ring. Shockingly, the 38-year-old flipped the crowd off as soon as he stepped through the curtain.

The non-PG gesture forced WWE to briefly cut the broadcast and switch to a black screen. When the feed returned, McAfee’s fingers were kept out of frame.

Pat McAfee & Randy Orton Attack Cody Rhodes & Jelly Roll On WWE SmackDown

Pat McAfee cut a fiery promo and made a major WrestleMania announcement before Cody Rhodes headed to the ring to confront him. As The American Nightmare nearly went after the former NFL star, Randy Orton interrupted to reveal that he had attacked Rhodes’ friend, Jelly Roll.

The Undisputed WWE Champion went to check on the megastar, but was tricked by The Viper and his partner. Orton and McAfee then launched a brutal ambush on Rhodes and Jelly Roll.
