Pat McAfee’s SmackDown Promo Went Completely Off Script

TLDR

Pat McAfee's promo during the April 3 episode of SmackDown was delivered completely off script, according to reports from Bodyslam.net. The unscripted segment forced WWE to react on the fly, with Cody Rhodes being sent out later in the night to respond after McAfee's promo created unplanned momentum. This occurred after McAfee was revealed as Randy Orton's mystery ally and helped attack Rhodes during the show's opening segment.
