Summary
CM Punk criticized Pat McAfee on Monday Night Raw, calling him “Pat MAGA-Fee” and accusing him of trying to change the WWE business for the better.

Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Pat McAfee, the former NFL player, tries to insert himself into a major feud ahead of WrestleMania 42, and the fans aren’t having it. He’s got a lot of opinions, but nobody’s asking for them. Meanwhile, CM Punk is too busy defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns to care about McAfee’s drama.
McAfee’s agent, Ari Emanuel, must be loving every minute of this. He’s probably counting the checks he’ll write to himself while the WWE foots the bill for McAfee’s ego.
Meanwhile, the internet wrestling community is having a field day with McAfee’s antics, and Punk is just over here, shaking his head.
This one felt recognizable early.
Original Observation: The WWE’s obsession with nostalgia and trying to relive the Attitude Era is starting to feel like a desperate attempt to stay relevant.
