Pat McAfee was among the celebrity names involved in the most recent edition of WWE’s WrestleMania Premium Live Event.
After previously working as a commentator for the company, the former NFL star was heavily involved in the storyline between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, including coming out as a referee during the fight.
The match ended with Cody coming out on top after a gruelling encounter, which saw him bleeding and suffering from a swollen eye.
Now, what Rhodes and McAfee said right after the end of the match has been shared in the latest season of the WWE: Unreal docuseries.

Season 3 of Unreal was released via Netflix on July 21, with Episode 5 sharing behind-the-scenes footage from Mania 42.
Night 1 ended with Cody vs Orton, and after the former headed backstage to receive treatment for his injuries, the cameras captured a conversation between Rhodes and the ex-NFL man.
The pair initially exchanged thumbs-up with each other before the wrestler said: “Thank you, that was so fun, Pat. Thanks for bringing that heat.”
To which McAfee replied: “I’m honoured to be a part of it.”
Cody continued: “The beginning worked great, Jelly [Roll] just came in, just appeared. I felt like, oh, they’d boo the —- out of me, and then I was like, oh, y’all cool.
“At the end, they were looking at me like, what the —-. Night 1 ended on a real (pulls a shocked face).”
While Cody seemed to enjoy the match, there were some in the wrestling fan community who were not too pleased about McAfee and Jelly Roll being so heavily involved in the main-event battle.
In turn, both Pat and Jelly Roll stepped away from WWE after their appearances at WrestleMania 42.
