Pat McAfee has confirmed that he will appear on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, which takes place in San Jose.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, McAfee told viewers that he will be traveling later this week, which is why there will be no new episodes on Thursday or Friday.
“Friday night, live from San Jose. I think I got some things to say. I think we will have a good time there on SmackDown,” McAfee said.
His appearance comes shortly after his involvement in a major storyline featuring Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. On last week’s SmackDown, McAfee was revealed as the mystery person Orton had been speaking to on the phone. He later played a role in assisting Orton, the 2026 Elimination Chamber winner, during an attack on the Undisputed WWE Champion.
The segment generated strong reactions online, with fans debating McAfee’s role in the storyline. Despite the mixed response, the episode delivered a notable increase in television viewership, signaling strong interest in the angle.
As of now, WWE has not officially announced any specific segment involving McAfee, Orton, or Rhodes for this Friday’s show. The event is scheduled to take place at the SAP Center, but details on how McAfee will be used remain unclear.
With McAfee now confirmed for the broadcast, attention turns to whether WWE will continue building on last week’s developments. His involvement has already added a new element to the ongoing storyline, and his comments suggest that he could address the situation directly when he appears live.
The upcoming SmackDown could provide further clarity on the direction of the angle, especially following the physical confrontation involving Orton and Rhodes. For now, McAfee’s presence alone adds another layer of intrigue heading into WrestleMania 42.
