Watch WWE Smackdown Live: Tune In for Pat McAfee’s Return
Logan Paul made headlines by selling a rare Pikachu Illustrator card. The card fetched nearly $16.5 million at auction.
It is the only Pikachu Illustrator graded a perfect 10 in the world. The sale set new Guinness records for the collectible.
Pat McAfee’s role sparks debate
WrestleMania 42 gained an unexpected twist last week. Pat McAfee interfered in an impromptu fight between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes.
McAfee kicked Cody Rhodes and aligned with Orton. He said he was tired of smaller wrestlers running long matches. Fans reacted mixedly to his explanation.
Why McAfee matters
McAfee is a well-known wrestling fan and a strong talker. His presence at WrestleMania adds mainstream attention to the event.
Some critics wonder if having such a vocal mouthpiece diminishes top talkers. Paul Heyman once served as a spokesman for Roman Reigns. That pairing did not fully eclipse Heyman.
What to expect on SmackDown tonight
Tonight’s program aims to clarify why Orton recruited McAfee. It will also continue the road to WrestleMania.
There are two more SmackDowns remaining before the big show. Expect additional storyline development and matches.
