Orton's Mystery Revealed: SmackDown 4/3/26 Review | RASD


Pat McAfee heel turn

This was absolutely awful. This was dog shit. I could not believe what I was watching.

Wei

Pat McAfee, who we know from WWE is a gigantic WWE fan and a gigantic fan of the modern product... this is also completely unbelievable, this heel turn.

Cody Rhodes promo

Pat McAfee is the reveal of the person on the phone. That's like Scott Hall and Kevin Nash revealing Disco Inferno as the third man instead of Hulk Hogan.

Cody Rhodes

He's calling out how flat and how disappointing and how weak of a reveal it is to have Pat McAfee be revealed as the person on the phone.

Wei

Cody Rhodes/AEW reference

What are you going to do? Fire me? It sure worked out last time.

WWE celebrity integration

This company seems to put celebrity integration above all else. It continues to just reek of their celebrity dick riding and their desperation for mainstream attention.

Wei

Pat McAfee promo

It certainly didn't land for me. It sounded way worse than I think he was intending.

Neil Flanagan

Sami Zayn heel turn

I think we're headed in one direction and one direction only with Sami Zayn, and I think it feels pretty well earned at this point because there's been a lengthy build to it.

Carmelo Hayes booking

I feel bad for Carmelo Hayes, who has been very good in the role as US champion and has brought us the best matches of SmackDown... it looks as though he's not going to be on the card.

Wei

WrestleMania plans

I hope it's imaginative and funny. That would be cool. As for these tag titles, I don't know. I think that's going to be on SmackDown the night before.
