On this week’s WWE SmackDown, Pat McAfee took the mic and immediately tried to dress down the San Jose, California, part of the WWE Universe. McAfee would address the comments of CM Punk, saying he’s a phony and a fraud. Guys like him are to blame for WrestleMania 42 tickets not selling as well as they should, when guys like Randy Orton are in the main event of the “Granddaddy of them All,” calling Punk a “sloppy sack of bones.”
Even if they “didn’t deserve it, Pat McAfee was “feeling generous,” as such, he got in touch with Ram Trucks, which is the official truck partner of WWE, UFC, and PBR as of 2026, and asked if they could pick up 25% off the price for all those buying WrestleMania 42 Saturday – Night 1 tickets from now, April 10, 2026, to the end of WWE Monday Night Raw, April 13, 2026, WWE WrestleMania 42 tickets are getting a 25% discount.
McAfee was so proud, saying that he’s a big enough star to have this kind of pull, unlike “marks” like Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. Cody Rhodes would make a rebuttal that if anyone’s to blame for the poor WrestleMania 42 ticket sales, it’s him and the higher-ups of TKO, saying he’s an outsider and a “Play Wrestler” that got this opportunity because of his agent.
Things got extremely heated between the two, with McAfee even referring to Cody Rhodes’ old persona, Stardust, calling him an escape artist and a guy who was handed everything and someone who uses politics backstage to get to the point he is at now. Pat McAfee would have Randy Orton attack Cody Rhodes and Jelly Roll, trying to convince everyone that he’s actually the good guy in this situation, saying they don’t deserve it, but here they go.
WWE Universe, things are heating up, and now you have 25% off. From April 10, 2026, to April 13, 2026, until the end of WWE Raw, buy discounted WWE WrestleMania 42 Saturday – Night 1 tickets. Get them while they last.
