There was a major change of plans last week when Vince McMahon did his interview on The Pat McAfee Show.
On the 2/28 episode of Raw, there was a backstage segment that strongly hinted at Austin Theory showing up with McMahon on the McAfee show to provide back up in case things got out of hand. Before McMahon arrived, McAfee’s co-host kind of let it slip that McAfee was about to set up a program with McMahon but that never ended up happening and Theory was not there.
Per the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there was a big change from the original plans but McMahon will be involved in the match and it appears that there will be an angle to get McMahon involved, perhaps at ringside instead of making it a handicap match but that has been discussed as well.
It was noted that there were plans for McAfee vs. McMahon and Theory would have taken all of the bumps for McMahon but McMahon evidently had second thoughts about advertising himself when they couldn’t deliver that match without smoke and mirrors.
The angle between McAfee and Theory kicked off last week on SmackDown.
