Pat McAfee has once again trolled the WWE Universe.
Ahead of WrestleMania 42, fans gathered in Las Vegas for an interactive WWE World experience, where a giant screen teased a “huge surprise.” After the countdown ended, the reveal turned out to be Pat McAfee himself.
The reaction from the crowd was immediate, with loud boos filling the venue as McAfee appeared via satellite while broadcasting his podcast from Indiana. He quickly leaned into the moment, mocking the WWE World crowd for their expectations.
McAfee even referenced AEW, suggesting fans were hoping a major surprise signing from All Elite Wrestling during WrestleMania weekend.
“Surprise, nerds! The surprise that you thought was maybe going to be your favorite wrestler of all time — maybe somebody from AEW was going to sign with WWE at WrestleMania and you marks were going to get zipper burn all over yourselves!,” he said.
McAfee continued to taunt the audience, claiming he was “smarter” than them for anticipating their reactions, which only drew more boos from the crowd.

What me and Randy are about to do to your entire WrestleMania weekend is something that you can’t prepare for, you can’t control, and you fat slobs sitting right up close on the gate, you’re going to be crying your ass off as you leave WrestleMania knowing that what was — what you all let happen — is over!”
McAfee wrapped up by telling the crowd to enjoy WrestleMania weekend, adding that his show would continue airing on the LED screen for the next 30 minutes before signing off and encouraging fans to tune into SmackDown later that night.
