Cody Rhodes Says Pat McAfee As Randy Orton’s Mystery Caller Is Like nWo Choosing Disco Inferno Instead Of Hulk Hogan

Cody Rhodes responds after Pat McAfee is revealed as Randy Orton’s mystery caller.

On the 4/3 edition of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes attacked Randy Orton. In a surprising turn of events, Pat McAfee showed up and lowblowed Rhodes. He later revealed himself as the mystery caller.

Later in the show, Rhodes made another appearance. He talked about Pat McAfee’s return, and his reveal as the mystery caller. The American Nightmare reacted to this reveal, saying it’s as if Disco Inferno was the third man in the New World Order instead of Hulk Hogan.

“We all got dressed up in St. Louis tonight to find out who Randy Orton was talking to on the phone and color me surprise, it was Pat McAfee. That’s like if Scott Hall and Kevin Nash talked about the third man in the nWo and instead of Hulk Hogan, it was Disco Inferno.”

"What are you gonna do? Fire me? It sure worked out for you the last time." @CodyRhodes is NOT holding back 😳 pic.twitter.com/vH37jN5CB1

Cody Rhodes and Disco Inferno have some history together. Some years back, Disco took a shot at Cody Rhodes after an injury spot, which led to the following tweet from The American Nightmare:

Stop. You know nothing. You have drawn 0 dollars. No fan has ever left a show thinking about you. You were lucky to be a juiced up double-lifer "over with the boys" type in an era where you hid in plain sight coasting on others' success. Couldn't hang then, can't get booked now. https://t.co/0kiDAgyhlT
