On the 4/3 edition of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes came to the ring prior to the main event to address the involvement of Pat McAfee, after the former WWE commentator attacked him early on in the show.
A report from PWInsider has noted that the response was not listed on the planned rundown for the night, and that there is belief some of the Undisputed WWE Champion’s comments reflected his “real thoughts” on TKO inserting McAfee into the storyline.
A similar report from Bodyslam+ stated that Rhodes was instructed to go to the ring and “shoot from the hip” regarding McAfee, whose alliance with Randy Orton ahead of WrestleMania 42 was compared to Scott Hall and Kevin Nash bringing in Disco Inferno as the third man in the NWO.
Rhodes and Orton face off for the Undisputed WWE Championship when WrestleMania 42 emanates from Allegiant Stadium in Paradise (Las Vegas), Nevada on April 18 and April 19.
