Randy Orton‘s mystery phone partner has been revealed, and it’s none other than…Pat McAfee?
During Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown, the show finally answered the mystery of Orton’s partner. For weeks, Orton had been seen speaking to an unknown presence on the phone. Rumors suggested that anyone from Kevin Owens to The Rock to even Vince McMahon was on the other line.
In the end, McAfee emerged as the mystery caller, who sided with Orton over their distaste for WWE’s direction. The moment came together after Orton and Cody Rhodes began the night with a brawl. McAfee appeared in the ring, dressed in a Randy Orton shirt, and low blowed Rhodes. Orton then got to hitting McAfee with a chair while McAfee took to the mic.
Pat McAfee explained that Randy called him and said that WWE has “gone in a direction that none of us like.” He then said that “the forgotten WWE fans” were all wondering what WWE had become, and how McAfee had been urging Orton to be more aggressive leading up to WrestleMania 42.
“Why, when I turn on WWE TV, I have to watch two five-foot-five guys do a 45-minute Iron Man match for 10 weeks straight for no rhyme or reason, when Randy Orton is around?”
Now, it looks like McAfee and Orton are together and have a common enemy in Rhodes.
