Pat McAfee Says ‘No-One’ Knew About Vince McMahon SmackDown Appearance

WWE

WWE announced earlier today that Vince McMahon will make an appearance on tonight’s WWE SmackDown show following the recent allegations against him.

WWE SmackDown announcer Pat McAfee spoke about McMahon’s upcoming appearance on the show on the Pat McAfee Show earlier today, where he said that ‘no-one knew’ about Vince appearing on the show when he asked.

He explained:

“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,”

The announcement of Vince’s appearance on the show has reportedly been met with ‘frustration’ backstage.

This isn’t the only time that McAfee has explained his lack of knowledge on the situation, hilariously explaining how he didn’t know anything about the allegations when they first broke.
