Pat McAfee responds to CM Punk calling him out on WWE RAW ahead of WrestleMania 42.
The World Heavyweight Champion was fired up on the April 6 episode of RAW. In a heated promo, Punk referenced Vince McMahon and mocked Roman Reigns for not showing up in Houston to build their WrestleMania program.
CM Punk then shifted his attention to the newfound alliance between Randy Orton and McAfee, unleashing a verbal barrage on the latter while also acknowledging the expensive WrestleMania ticket prices. The Straight Edge Superstar also brought up Ari Emanuel in a scathing rant against TKO.
Though the promo aired uncensored during the live broadcast on Netflix, WWE edited Punk’s mention of ticket prices in its social media uploads. This, of course, didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who added context via X.
Pat McAfee on CM Punk calling him out on WWE RAW
During Tuesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show, the popular streamer brought up CM Punk’s viral promo from WWE RAW.
McAfee noted that his social media blew up when Punk called him “Pat MAGAfee” before mocking the World Heavyweight Champion for saying he’s not worth the ticket prices fans have paid for WrestleMania 42.
“I had a little dinner, put baby girl up to bed, came downstairs at 8:30, 8:40-ish — opened my phone, went to X, went to trending. Is that me? Are they — ‘Pat MAGAfee’? What? What is that about? CM Punk last night called me ‘Pat MAGAfee’ and attacked a lot of things. And then he laid out why he is not worth the price of admission to WrestleMania.
“(Mimics Punk) ‘Lower the prices now! I’m not worth that much!’
“But no worries, Mr. Punk. Randy Orton is here to save everything. And, uh, this has been an exciting time.”
Pat McAfee initially reacted to CM Punk’s callout with a cheeky question. For those unaware, McAfee turned heel and aligned himself with Randy Orton last week on WWE SmackDown. Fans can catch up on everything that happened during the segment here.
