Pat McAfee Discusses Stephanie McMahon Being Made WWE Interim CEO And Vince Appearing On SmackDown
It looks like even Pat McAfee had no idea what was going on today regarding SmackDown.
Earlier today, prior to flying to Minnesota for SmackDown, Pat McAfee recorded the latest episode of The Pat McAfee Show. On this recording, he brought up the situation regarding Stephanie McMahon being named interim CEO as well as Vince McMahon appearing on the show tonight.
“Some massive news came out from WWE this morning. I addressed the early headlines yesterday about me having no idea about any of this coming or happening or ever taking place. This morning, Stephanie McMahon is now Interim CEO and Interim Chairwoman. Tonight on SmackDown, Vince McMahon, Mr. McMahon will be appearing. This is going to be a wild…I have no idea what’s happening when I fly into Minneapolis, Minnesota this afternoon. I have Charles Barkley here to start the day and then I’m headed to Minnesota with, obviously, a company that has been around for a very long time and I’ve been a fan of for basically my entire life, and it’s in one of the biggest, most crucial times in history. I’m going to be right there. My life is a glitch in the simulation, I understand that. Just like everybody else, I have no idea what’s happening tonight. I’ve sent out a couple of texts with the tweet from WWE saying Mr. McMahon will appear and I’m like, ‘How is this going in?’ The response I got was, ‘Nobody knew this was happening.’ What a night,”
