Pat McAfee Left WrestleMania 42 On A Stretcher

Pat McAfee presumably walked into the Allegiant Stadium for WrestleMania 42 this weekend.

But he left on a stretcher.

The popular ESPN personality and wrestling announcer was involved in Cody Rhodes’ match against Randy Orton on Saturday night. He entered with much bravado, flipping middle fingers and swearing at the crowd.

He later attacked Rhodes, blindsiding the champ with a microphone assault and eventually found himself getting put through a table by artist Jelly Roll.

Medical staff rushed to his aid, placing him on a stretcher and taking him away.

He was still defiant while being carried, raising a middle finger as personnel stretchered him off.

Pat McAfee And Stephen A. Smith Experience A Night To Forget

McAfee shared clips of his ordeal to X, captioning with a thumbs-up emoji.

Pat McAfee’s ESPN colleague, Stephen A. Smith, was also in the building on Saturday night. The crowd booed him heavily.

While it probably wasn’t the reaction he was looking for, the ‘First Take’ host closed his eyes and stretched his arms out to welcome the jeers as he smiled.

The WWE Universe clearly does not care for Stephen A.
