On March 4, Raw Superstar🐬 Austin Theory showed up on SmackDown and confronted McAfee, saying tha🌠t Vince going on his show was a set-up. He then said that he is Pat's WrestleMania opponent before smacking McAfee across the face. Theory would walk away taking selfies as he made his way up the ramp.
