Cody Rhodes FORCED TO CUT SHOOT PROMO After Pat McAfee Ruined HIS WrestleMania | Off The Script XTRA

WWE feels like it’s breaking from the inside… and it’s all happening right before WrestleMania 42.Pat McAfee’s shocking role in the Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton feud wasn’t a creative decision. Reports say it came straight from TKO CEO Ari Emanuel, with McAfee originally turning the idea down before eventually agreeing to it. The move was driven by corporate strategy, ESPN synergy, and ticket sales… not storytelling.That decision has created real tension backstage.Cody Rhodes’ promo on SmackDown? Not on the run sheet. Said to be “from the hip” and fueled by legitimate frustration with TKO inserting itself into WrestleMania storylines. Meanwhile, talent reaction to McAfee being added has been mixed at best, with some feeling Rhodes is now forced to carry unnecessary weight heading into the biggest match of the yearThen CM Punk took it even further on Raw.Calling out Roman Reigns, The Rock, Pat McAfee, and even Ari Emanuel directly, Punk went after ticket prices and corporate decisions on live TV, echoing real frustration from both fans and talent. WWE is reportedly now considering lowering ticket prices, suggesting what Punk said may not have been just storylineSo the question is simple…Are we watching a storyline… or the beginning of a WWE vs TKO power struggle playing out on television?ALSO ON TONIGHT’S TUESDAY NIGHT TITANS:🎙️WrestleMania 42 full card revealed for Night 1 & Night 2🎙️Seth Rollins vs Gunther was a last-minute, heavily debated creative decision🎙️Mercedes Moné now holds ZERO championships after vacating her APAC Women's Title🎙️Chris Jericho returns to AEW and may have signed a new deal🎙️Peter Rosenberg sparks backlash over “suicide dive” comments🎙️Dave Meltzer compares Kendal Grey and Mercedes Mone as sparks online debate🎙️AEW Dynasty Preview & PredictionsBecome a Channel Member & Join the Off The Script VIP Club: https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/joinSubscribe:▶️ http://www.youtube.com/@JDfromNY▶️ http://www.youtube.com/@jdfromnyshorts▶️ http://www.youtube.com/@TheSolomonster Socials:🐤 Twitter: https://twitter.com/jdfromny206📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jdfromny206🐤 Twitter: http://twitter.com/solomonster📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesolomonster★Tuesday Night Titans Merchandise♦ Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/tnt-best-of-the-best/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

CM Punk unleashed hell, in what fans are claiming is his NEW PIPEBOMB promo in 2026, as he SHOOTS on Ari Emanuel, Pat McAfee being brought in, Roman Reigns, The Rock, and TKO hiking ticket prices to where it's virtually unaffordable. After Friday Night SmackDown, and WWE introducing Pat McAfee to the Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton situation, WWE did some HEAVY damage control on WWE Raw tonight, by sending CM Punk out there to unleash the frustration felt by many regarding several problems plaguing WWE including Pat McAfee himself, Ari Emanuel, TKO, The Rock, Ticket Prices, and of course Roman Reigns. What does it all mean, and are we all being "worked" for some massive grand plan to be revealed at WrestleMania?📋 WWE Raw 4//6/26 Review:🎙️Seth Rollins vs Gunther WrestleMania build continues🎙️Gunther’s attack on Rollins and lack of storyline explanation🎙️Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi contract signing🎙️CM Punk's PIPEBOMB 2.0🎙️LA Knight goes one on one with Austin Theory🎙️Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY take on B-Fab and Michin from SmackDown🎙️Rey Mysterio returns and gets his WrestleMania match📍Support The Channel:♦Join the "Off The Script" VIP Club: 👉https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/join♦Get Your JDfromNY Merch: 👉https://www.bonfire.com/store/off-the-script/♦Follow on Twitter/X: 👉https://twitter.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Instagram: 👉https://www.instagram.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Tik Tok: 👉http://www.tiktok.com/@jdfromny♦Follow on Twitch: 👉http://www.twitch.com/jdfromnewyork♦Request A Cameo: 👉http://www.cameo.com/jdfromny🤝Sponsors:♦ Blue Chew (Use Code "JD"): https://go.bluechew.com♦ Turtle Beach (Code "SCRIPT"): http://www.turtlebeach.com/scriptAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Cody Rhodes knew Pat McAfee's segment on Friday Night SmackDown was so terrible he cut a legitimate SHOOT promo later in the show. Pat McAfee was revealed as the "mystery caller" to Randy Orton on SmackDown in one of the worst segments all year, and one that was totally uncalled for in the feud between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes heading into WrestleMania. It was reported that the decision was not Triple H's call but a decision made by TKO and Ari Emanuel. Now new reports emerge saying Pat McAfee didn't want to do but TKO always wanted this spot to go to a celebrity. Has TKO ruined one of the biggest matches at this year's WrestleMania? Does Pat McAfee being included make any sense? If not, how do we make it make sense?📍Support The Channel:♦Join the "Off The Script" VIP Club: 👉https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/join♦Get Your JDfromNY Merch: 👉https://www.bonfire.com/store/off-the-script/♦Follow on Twitter/X: 👉https://twitter.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Instagram: 👉https://www.instagram.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Tik Tok: 👉http://www.tiktok.com/@jdfromny♦Follow on Twitch: 👉http://www.twitch.com/jdfromnewyork♦Request A Cameo: 👉http://www.cameo.com/jdfromny🤝Sponsors:♦ Blue Chew (Use Code "JD"): https://go.bluechew.com♦ Turtle Beach (Code "SCRIPT"): http://www.turtlebeach.com/scriptAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

WWE SmackDown finally revealed the mystery behind Randy Orton’s phone calls, with Pat McAfee returning as his ally but the payoff fell completely flat.After weeks of buildup and speculation around names like The Rock, Kevin Owens, and Triple H, WWE went in a very different direction, leaving the Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton WrestleMania 42 storyline feeling underwhelming at a critical point in the build.While there’s always a chance this leads to something bigger, the initial reveal felt like a major miss and raises questions about WWE relying on celebrity involvement instead of delivering a stronger story payoff.📋 WWE SmackDown 4/3/26 Review:🎙️Randy Orton mystery phone revealed as Pat McAfee🎙️Matt Cardona takes on Aleister Black🎙️Carmelo Hayes gets his rematch for the US Title against Sami Zayn🎙️Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss vs Bayley & Lyra Valkryia🎙️Tama Tonga gives the lantern back to Uncle Howdy🎙️Rhea Ripley vs Michin🎙️Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu tensions📍Support The Channel:♦Join the "Off The Script" VIP Club: 👉https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/join♦Get Your JDfromNY Merch: 👉https://www.bonfire.com/store/off-the-script/♦Follow on Twitter/X: 👉https://twitter.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Instagram: 👉https://www.instagram.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Tik Tok: 👉http://www.tiktok.com/@jdfromny♦Follow on Twitch: 👉http://www.twitch.com/jdfromnewyork♦Request A Cameo: 👉http://www.cameo.com/jdfromny🤝Sponsors:♦ Blue Chew (Use Code "JD"): https://go.bluechew.com♦ Turtle Beach (Code "SCRIPT"): http://www.turtlebeach.com/script🎵The Official Off The Script Music Playlist: ♦Spotify 👉https://tinyurl.com/49arna26📢Off The Script Podcast on iTunes & Spotify:♦Apple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/3r53nycv♦Spotify Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/yt8k63t2#RandyOrton #CodyRhodes #WWE #SmackDown #WrestleManiaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

AEW Dynamite delivered a major step forward toward Dynasty with a heated contract signing between MJF and Kenny Omega, while Chris Jericho made his return to AEW for the first time in a year in his hometown of Winnipeg, drawing a reaction that did not match expectations.MJF and Kenny Omega officially signed the contract for their AEW World Championship match, but the segment quickly turned personal. Omega shut down MJF immediately, making it clear he’s not here for talk, he’s coming for the title and to prove he’s still the best wrestler in the world.MJF fired back with a brutal promo, targeting Omega’s health and claiming his body is a “ticking time bomb,” escalating the rivalry to a new level ahead of Dynasty. The tension nearly turned physical before “Speedball” Mike Bailey stepped in, calling out MJF and setting up a main event match for later in the night.Chris Jericho’s return added another layer to Dynamite, though questions remain about his role moving forward, his contract status, and what direction AEW plans to take following his first appearance back in over a year.📋 AEW Dynamite Review (4/1/26)🎙️Chris Jericho returns to AEW after 1 year being away🎙️MJF vs Kenny Omega contract signing🎙️Kenny Omega, Brody King & Jack Perry vs The Demand🎙️MJF goes one on one with "Speedball" Mike Bailey in an Eliminator Match🎙️Will Ospreay goes one on one with PAC🎙️The Brawling Birds & Mina Shirakawa vs Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue📍Support The Channel:♦Join the "Off The Script" VIP Club: 👉https://www.youtube.com/c/JDfromNY206/join♦Get Your JDfromNY Merch: 👉https://www.bonfire.com/store/off-the-script/♦Follow on Twitter/X: 👉https://twitter.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Instagram: 👉https://www.instagram.com/jdfromny206♦Follow on Tik Tok: 👉http://www.tiktok.com/@jdfromny♦Follow on Twitch: 👉http://www.twitch.com/jdfromnewyork♦Request A Cameo: 👉http://www.cameo.com/jdfromny🤝Sponsors:♦ Blue Chew (Use Code "JD"): https://go.bluechew.com♦ Turtle Beach (Code "SCRIPT"): http://www.turtlebeach.com/script🎵The Official Off The Script Music Playlist: ♦Spotify 👉https://tinyurl.com/49arna26📢Off The Script Podcast on iTunes & Spotify:♦Apple Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/3r53nycv♦Spotify Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/yt8k63t2#AEWDynamite #ChrisJericho #AEW #MercedesMone #KennyOmegaAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
