Damian Priest Comments on Pat McAfee’s Involvement in Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton Feud Being “It Sucks”
A recent episode of the Gabby AF podcast featured WWE Tag Team Champion Damian Priest as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Priest’s thoughts about Pat McAfee being inserted into the Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton feud for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42 and McAfee’s promo segment at last week’s WWE SmackDown show.
“It sucks. Not a fan. Somebody who knows Pat, get a long with him, but for me, that’s not my taste. I don’t think it helps anything. He didn’t need it. For me, and I’m sure a lot of people, aren’t going to be happy I said that, in the locker room specifically, a lot of us weren’t happy. That’s realy. I was asked by some of the younger talent what I thought, and I thought it was bull. We’re a PG show, but he can come in and throw F bombs and say whatever he wants. For me, that’s one of those things where so many other talent, even from one word, could benefit and it’s like, ‘Wow, now they’re up here.’ Instead, you take somebody who is not here all the time and gets away with saying something like that who doesn’t even need it. Not gonna lie, it pissed me off.”
“It sucks…”

Austin Theory Comments on “Hearing” His Six-Man Tag Match with Logan Paul & IShowSpeed Being Opening Match of WrestleMania 42 Night 1
A recent episode of 101.5 K Dawn’s The Mark Hoke Show Pro Wrestling Radio / Podcast featured Austin Theory as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Theory’s thoughts about his Six-Man Tag Team match with Logan Paul & IShowSpeed against LA Knight & The Usos being the opening match of Night 1 of WrestleMania 42.
“WrestleMania 42, Allegiant Stadium, get your tickets, Ticketmaster. ESPN, get the app. That’s where we’re gonna be. Night one. Match one is what I’m hearing. So, that’s how you kick off the show right there.”
Theory also gave his thoughts about working with Paul and Speed.
“Man, I have to say, Logan Paul, it’s so fun. That’s a guy, as much as people hate on him and say whatever they wanna say, that’s a guy, if you look, even kind of similar to my story — it wasn’t wrestling but, working on something, having a passion for something and becoming one of the biggest superstars in the world on social media — just really anything. He’s grinded and built that, and still to this day, even when we’re working at work and we’re putting a match together or figuring out our next move for The Vision, he’s working on other stuff. He’s always working, so being around him, it’s super motivating. It’s super cool to see somebody that has all these other things going on and really could just say, yeah, put me on the show, and I’ll get you guys some views. It’s not like that at all. Dude is in it, he’s giving his all and to see somebody jump in it like that and be able to just get it and even improve along the way so quick, it blows my mind and I think he kind of messes it up for other outsiders because they go, ‘Oh, I could do that’ but, you’re not Logan Paul, and when we talk about IShowSpeed, that’s another one that started so young grinding, and he’s only 21 and dude’s got almost 50 million followers, just on Instagram. But just his platform and what he brings to the table is so unique, and I feel like with him, especially going into this match and just the little stuff you’ve seen on TV — not the spear where he almost passed away — but, this week, you see him jump over L.A. Knight. Speed, that’s nothing for him. He jumps over cars. So, it’s really cool, and he really is somebody that he’s got it. He really just needs to know, ‘Hey, this is what you want me to do? I got you,’ and he has his own little flavor on it, but, for me, it’s a cool little situation, because I’m with two guys that, normally, fans wouldn’t like because they’re outsiders but, to me, I love it. Especially the heat we get and people not liking it but seeing that, ‘Dang, Logan’s a tag team champion though. Dang, IShowSpeed is on WrestleMania at 21.’ Hate all you want but we’re living life. So, that’s what I gotta say about those guys.”
