The original pitch for what evolved into Pat McAfee aligning with Randy Orton was meant to be Aleister Black in McAfee’s spot: “The role would have involved Aleister Black tormenting Orton, trying to bring out the old Apex Predator version of Orton. The idea was that if Black succeeded, it would prove Orton had never changed or evolved and was still the old Orton deep inside. We are told the idea was that Black and Orton would face off Mania weekend, with Orton hesitating to use his punt kick and likely lose, but then later attack Cody Rhodes as a WrestleMania angle, using the punt to bring back the old Apex Predator and prove Black right all along.” (via PWlnsider)

Oba HAS to win tonight, right?
