Throughout the wrestling talk, McAfee took shots at the “Internet Wrestling Community,” who he claimed didn’t get the angle even though it was done to help them, made fun of Rhodes, once again brought up WWE’s lower than usual ticket sales for WrestleMania, and discussed the heat his reveal got, even suggesting someone threatened his daughter. Mostly, however, McAfee spent time putting over Orton, who he described as the ideal wrestler that should be atop the WWE hierarchy.

“Randy Orton is the greatest,” McAfee said. “This guy, 6’5, 275…He walks in a room, everybody goes ‘Holy s**t.’ That’s what a WWE superstar is. That’s what a sports entertainer is. So I’ve just been confused on why we’re not…there’s tickets still available…What are we doing here? So I’m happy that I got a chance to be in the ear a couple of times telling him ‘Hey, now’s the time killer. Now we go save the business.'”

Towards the end of the discussion, McAfee once again became cryptic regarding whether he and Orton were acting alone, or if others could get involved, at one point even asking his co-hosts if he was the only one who could’ve had thoughts about WWE’s direction. Later, he was adamant that he was not the only one, again suggesting more surprises could be coming at WrestleMania.

“I’m not the only one who feels this way,” McAfee said. “We’ll see how it all goes, we’ll see how it all goes. But we’re certainly on the Road to WrestleMania. And it is fantastic.”
