WWE is reportedly planning a major match involving Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll.
Pat McAfee became a vital part of WWE WrestleMania 42 when he revealed himself as the voice behind Randy Orton’s mysterious phone calls and attacked Cody Rhodes. Jelly Roll, on the other hand, recently competed in his first singles match in WWE against Kit Wilson on the March 27 episode of SmackDown. He also became involved in the storyline between Orton and Rhodes by attempting to break up a brawl between the two superstars, only to end up taking an RKO.
With WrestleMania 42 taking place next weekend, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline reported WWE’s plans for the show’s aftermath. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Meltzer noted that the promotion is planning to have Pat McAfee team up with Randy Orton to take on Cody Rhodes and Jelly Roll at the Backlash PLE in Tampa, Florida, on May 9.
“McAfee will team with Orton against Rhodes & Jelly Roll coming out of WrestleMania and be a key match at the Backlash PPV on 5/9, at least as of plans that were confirmed to us by multiple people and were still in play at press time.”
Fans will witness the next development in the storyline on tonight’s episode of SmackDown, where Pat McAfee has teased a massive surprise. Jelly Roll hasn’t appeared on WWE television since taking the RKO, and it will be interesting to see if the three-time Grammy winner will show up tonight and possibly announce he’d be on Cody Rhodes’ corner at WrestleMania 42.
