Pat then says its crazy that they boo him because he is the hero in this entire thing. Pat then says they cheer for the spineless bums like CM Punk. The then fans chant CM Punk. Pat then asks them if they liked what Punk said on Monday when he called him Pat MAGAFee. Pat then says as Punk was talking about a lot of people that were a lot more important, famous and in shape than he is and it was hard for him to get behind the fact that Punk was wearing a WWE jacket. Pat then says he has 283 things for sale and when that TKO merch check comes through, which account does it go to. Pat then says does it go to the needy wrestling families that cant afford WrestleMania tickets or does it go to the bank account titled Im sorry Saudi Arabia? Pat then says Punk is a fraud, like a politician. Pat then says all talk, no action. Pat then says a man who has the opportunity to change things, but he gets in the room, sits down, gets on his stomach and rolls over like the little b***h that he is. Pat then says he is a man of action and an agent of change. Pat then says everything that Punk says Punk is and he actually is. Pat then says when Punk mentioned tickets are too high, especially when Punk is one of the main events, he agrees with him. Pat then says if it wasnt for Orton, why would anyone spend their money to watch WrestleMania. Pat then says he decided to be their hero. He then calls one of the fans a fatso.

Pat then asks if they have ever won a Stanley Cup in San Jose. Pat then says Randy will demoralize and pummel the puppet who is the current. Cody Rhodes music then interrupts and he makes his way down to the ring. Cody tells Pat and says he is going to go out on a limb and say that Pat doesnt belong here. He knows he cannot touch Pat, but he can give Pat a replica title and you can go into the back and do your favorites entrance and get pyro. Then you can go back to whoever injected you into this, thank you daddy. Cody says the term play a wrestler never meant anything to him until he was under Randy Orton hearing you spit out lines about the Attitude Era. That was 30 years ago. Randy debuted in 2002. Cody says there was a promoter named Paul Bosch. You said IWC and marks. You talked about making the business great again. Do you know what Paul said about people who called them marks. They are customers. When everyone you have is because of those customers and are happy to be part of this, they are not customers. Whether it is the person at the airport or the people in the crowd tonight, they are not customers to him. They are family. Cody says Pat has a gift, and it is not that kick. For the centuries that pro wrestling has been around, they have never agreed on anything other than this. For the first time ever, the entire fandom agree that they want to see Randy Orton and they do not want to see Pat McAfee. He tells Pat to go home. Pat says he is home and he call the people dips***s. He was born for this business. You were born into the business. He calls Cody the fakest person in the world. He says Cody is a cosplay champion and one he will rid the WWE Universe of along with Randy Orton. Pat says he has a message for Cody and his inbred family. If Randy doesnt walk out of Wrestlemania as champion, you will never see or hear from him in this business ever again. G Add as a preferred source on Google
