Expert Analysis: Has Pat McAfee Ruined WrestleMania?
Metro’s WWE expert Alistair McGeorge provides insight into Pat McAfee's impact on the event's build-up. While McAfee's insertion into the Cody Rhodes-Randy Orton feud has sparked debate, McGeorge notes that the overall quality remains high. He highlights explosive rivalries like Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar and CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns, suggesting that championship bouts and matches like GUNTHER vs. Seth Rollins could steal the show. Celebrity involvement, including IShowSpeed and Jelly Roll, is seen as manageable, with potential for this to be one of the strongest WrestleManias in recent memory.
