As noted, Pat McAfee revealed himself as the mystery man advising Randy Orton during the April 3 episode of WWE SmackDown.

During the segment, McAfee aligned with Orton and attacked Cody Rhodes, declaring that the business is in decline under Rhodes’ leadership. He made it clear that he believes Orton will restore it by defeating Rhodes at WrestleMania 42 to become Undisputed WWE Champion.

Following SmackDown, McAfee took to social media and raised the stakes even further with a bold promise tied to the outcome of the match.

“I will make a deal with the IWC now..If @RandyOrton doesn’t win at Mania.. I will NEVER be seen OR HEARD on wrestling television AGAIN,” he wrote.

The statement adds additional intrigue to Orton’s title challenge, as McAfee has now publicly tied his future on wrestling television to the result at WrestleMania 42.

With the event approaching, McAfee’s ultimatum increases the spotlight on the match and further intensifies the storyline surrounding Orton’s pursuit of the championship.
