As seen during the April 3rd 2026 edition of WWE SmackDown, Pat McAfee was revealed as Randy Orton’s mystery phone caller after he attacked WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. While speaking on his podcast, McAfee addressed the segment…

“Number one story coming out of the weekend, you guessed it. Randy Orton saving the business at WrestleMania. You know, it was a fun time on Friday night letting the world know that, yeah, you remember when Randy Orton came on the show at the Combine? Then you remember shortly after that I say I thought the business passed me by, and then all of a sudden Randy’s on the phone with somebody motivating, dominating everybody. Oh yeah, maybe it was me telling him, hey bud, my daughter is about to turn 3 years old.

I would like her to be a wrestling fan, but I would like wrestling to be what wrestling’s supposed to be, especially at the top of the card. 6’5″, 275 pounds of perfection from the wrestling gods has been sitting here this whole time. And is he on TV all day, every day? Absolutely not. He was actually sent home for about 6 months recently.

It’s like, what? How is this guy being sent home? So we’re saving a business when Randy wins his 15th world title at Mania, and the future of the business is going to be led by what the wrestling gods deemed perfection in Randy Orton. Now, it was a blast. People got loud.

Yeah, I was just asking, I was just asking, hey, why are we doing this when Randy Orton is around? Anything that doesn’t involve Randy, in my eyes, Shite.

Agreed. If Randy Orton’s involved, good. Randy Orton’s going to be there. Somehow tickets are still available for WrestleMania.

Just know that we got some things cooking and you’re going to want to be in Las Vegas. It’s going to be spectacular. It’s going to be special. And future wrestling generation fans will have to look back on the night that was in Las Vegas and say that was the moment that that GOAT saved the entire business. By becoming 15-time world champion.

Shout out to Randy Orton. I thank you, Randy, for doing that. Love you, Randy.

I was asking the wrestling fans this weekend, hey, did you thank Randy Orton yet for what he’s going to do at WrestleMania for the future of wrestling? And you know, these IWC dipsh*ts, they have no idea. This is for the good of them. They have no idea what they’ve been missing.

They have no idea what it’s supposed to look like. Now we change that. That’s the internet wrestling community. They’re not the biggest fans of what happened.

They’re pretty upset about it, you know, but they are a part of the problem. They’re the ones that said, yeah, this is what it’s supposed to be, all this stuff. It’s like, nah, let us show you what it’s supposed to be. Whatever Randy Orton is at the top of the marquee.”
