Pat McAfee Stretchered Off After Brutal Jelly Roll Slam at WrestleMania 42
At Allegiant Stadium, a surprise attack altered the WrestleMania 42 main event. Pat McAfee was taken out after a sudden assault by Grammy winner Jelly Roll.
The attack and stretchered exit
Jelly Roll appeared unexpectedly at ringside. He drove McAfee through the announce table with a brutal slam and followed with an elbow drop.
Medical personnel placed McAfee on a stretcher. As he was wheeled away, he flashed the middle finger to the crowd.
McAfee’s involvement in the Orton–Rhodes feud
McAfee had been aligned with Randy Orton in the weeks before the match. He helped Orton attack Cody Rhodes during the build-up to the championship bout.
On the April 10 episode of SmackDown, McAfee said he would quit wrestling if Orton failed to win at WrestleMania 42. That declaration raised the stakes for his role.
Return to ringside and match finish
Despite being stretchered off, McAfee later returned in a referee shirt and wearing a neck brace. He tried to assist Orton, but his intervention did not change the outcome.
Orton ultimately turned on McAfee and hit an RKO. Cody Rhodes responded with a Cross Rhodes and won the match.
Reaction from fans and viewers
Social media reacted strongly to McAfee’s involvement. Many users said the celebrity interference ruined the main event’s storytelling.
Additional viewer complaints included broadcast issues during the event. Some fans also noted attempts by performers to energize a subdued crowd.
