Pat McAfees role in the Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes storyline has already caused plenty of debate behind the scenes, but now Austin Theory has added his own blunt reaction to the situation. The storyline stirred conversation across WWE after McAfee attacked Cody Rhodes on the April 3 episode of SmackDown and was revealed as Randy Ortons mystery phone ally. Reports later indicated that the move was supported at the corporate level as part of a push to boost interest in the show and strengthen ties with ESPN. Even with that plan in place, not everyone inside WWE reportedly agreed with the direction, and internal reaction to the angle was said to be mixed. Now, Theory has weighed in publicly. While speaking to Adrian Hernandez on Unlikely, Austin Theory was asked directly about Pat McAfees involvement and didnt hesitate to give his opinion. Instead of dancing around the topic, he brushed off McAfees comments and took a swipe at older names while pushing his own vision of WWEs future. Theory didnt just call out McAfee he made it clear he believes the focus should shift away from established stars and toward newer names like himself and Logan Paul. With WrestleMania 42 getting closer and the McAfee storyline still unfolding, reactions like Theorys are only adding more attention to an angle that already has people talking behind the scenes. What do you think about Austin Theorys comments on Pat McAfee is he right about WWE needing to move toward newer stars, or do established names still carry the show?
