Pat McAfee’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. The fans boo. Pat says to cut the music. He says San Jose, what a shithole. He gives them the finger. He says it’s crazy that they boo him, he is the hero in this entire thing. He says they cheer for the spineless bums like CM Punk. The fans chant “CM Punk”. He asks them if they liked what Punk said on Monday when he called him Pat MAGAFee. He says as Punk was talking about a lot of people that were a lot more important, famous and in shape than he is, it was hard for him to get behind the fact that Punk was wearing a WWE jacket. He says he has 283 things for sale and when that TKO merch check comes through, which account does it go to? Does it go to the needy wrestling families that can’t afford WrestleMania tickets or does it go to the bank account titled “I’m sorry Saudi Arabia?”
He says that Punk is a fraud, like a politician. All talk, no action. A man who has the opportunity to change things but he gets in the room, sits down, gets on his stomach and rolls over like the little bitch that he is. Pat says that he is a man of action, an agent of change. Everything that Punk says Punk is, Pat actually is. When Punk mentioned that tickets are too high, especially when Punk is one of the main events, he agrees with him. If it wasn’t for Orton, why would anyone spend their money to watch WrestleMania.
Pat says he decided to be their hero. He calls one of the fans a fatso. Even if they don’t deserve it, he decided to help the fans out. He called RAM Trucks, the official sponsor of WrestleMania and he asked them to pick up 25% of the bill to anyone who buys a WrestleMania Saturday ticket from now until Monday Night Raw. Pay says 25% off for WrestleMania Saturday from now until Raw.
Pat says WrestleMania Sunday night is ass, he doesn’t recommend anyone spending money on that. But WrestleMania Saturday, they see Randy Orton. He says Orton will save the business. He asks the fans if they ever won a Stanley Cup here in San Jose and the fans boo. Pat says ass, like the rest of the city.
Cody’s music hits and out he comes to the ring. Cody gets in the ring and Pat starts to sing during Cody’s entrance. Cody tells Pat that he doesn’t think Pat belongs here. He says he knows he can’t touch him but they can get him a Fanatics replica title, they’ll go back, he can pick any WWE superstar he wants, do their entrance, get the pyro, live out the Superstar experience and go back to whoever sent him here. And he can tell him “Thank you daddy”. Cody says there is a crazy old term in wrestling where people say he is a play wrestler. He didn’t know what that meant until last week where Orton was standing and Pat was saying Attitude Era lines.
He tells Pat the Attitude Era was 30 years ago and Orton was a teenager during that time. He says that Pat spoke about making the business great again, a promoter Paul Boesch, said marks are not marks, they are customers. When you grow up and you have everything you have because of said customers, they are not customers, they are family.
Cody says Pat has a gift, for the centuries that pro wrestling has been around, they have never agreed on anything except what he is about to tell him. For the first time ever, the entire fandom of what they do agrees on the fact that at WrestleMania, they want to see Randy Orton. And they do not want to see Pat McAfee. Cody tells him “Go home Pat” and he drops the microphone.
Pat says he is home, he was born to be in this business. Cody was born in this business, silver spoon, gorilla’s golden boy. And all he sees is the fakest dude on earth, spray tan, dyed hair, fake teeth, lispy lisp, a $10,000 suit that he wears because Ric Flair said it’s cool to do. He says Cody cosplays. Pay tells him he has a message for him and his inbreed family. If Orton does not walk out of WrestleMania as a 15 time world champion, you will never see or hear from him in this business ever again.
The fans chant “Go home Pat”.
Cody tells him to take his shades off or is he too high to remember that he was standing on the table for the last three years Yeeting. He must hate this place. He says Pat said he was tired, he asks him if he wants to take a nap. Good, let’s get Gunther out to put his ass to sleep, once and for all. Cody drops the microphone and leaves the ring.
Pat asks him where he is going, he says Cody has always been an elite runaway artist. He calls him stardust. He asks him if he is going to suck Triple H’s ass. He calls him a politician bum. Get nice and deep in Paul Levesque’s cheeks. He tells him to come back and dance for the stupid kid.
