Why is a backstage segment with Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll hinting at WrestleMania instead of focusing on Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton?

["The episode begins with the hosts questioning a backstage segment featuring Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll, which they feel unnecessarily distracts from the Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton WrestleMania storyline.", "They delve into Pat McAfee's promo, where he criticizes CM Punk for hypocrisy regarding merchandise sales and Saudi Arabian money.", "A major point of discussion is WWE's marketing of a 25% discount on WrestleMania tickets, which the hosts calculate still results in prices $200 more expensive than before TKO recently doubled ticket prices.", "The hosts describe this as a cynical move, comparing it to a 'buy one, get one free' promo and predicting further desperate discounts.", "Cody Rhodes interrupts Pat McAfee, leading to a confrontation where McAfee calls Rhodes a 'Cosplay Champion' and promises to help Randy Orton win at WrestleMania.", "Randy Orton appears, attacks Cody Rhodes, and the segment ends with Pat McAfee holding the WWE title on his shoulder, which the hosts interpret as potential foreshadowing.", "The hosts express frustration that the focus shifted from the historic Rhodes-Orton rivalry to involving peripheral figures like Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee.", "They review other segments, including Drew McIntyre attacking Jacob Fatu after a match with Tama Tonga, noting a botched handcuff spot.", "The Jade Cargill vs. IoSky match is highlighted as the best Jade Cargill match to date, though the hosts find the overall story dead.", "A debut match for Royce Keyes is discussed, with mixed opinions on his catchphrase 'Eid' and his potential fit in WWE.", "The hosts criticize a match involving Danhausen and Kit Wilson, calling Danhausen's in-ring work poor and suggesting he should be used only as an entertainer.", "Sami Zayn's promo is praised for its character depth; he gets booed by fans but insists he's still a face, creating a unique dynamic.", "Trick Williams is positioned as the perfect opponent for Zayn, with the crowd cheering the heel and booing the face, which the hosts find refreshing.", "A match between Trick Williams and Matt Cardona is noted, with Cardona putting Williams over effectively.", "The hosts rate the overall show between 'needy' and 'TESA stripes', acknowledging some good matches but criticizing the main storylines.", "They mention birthdays of wrestlers like Juice Robinson, Dustin Rhodes, and the late Balls Mahoney and Harley Race.", "The episode includes a segment where the hosts taste-test an energy drink called Lion's Lemonade, giving it an eight out of ten.", "They promote a discount code 'SPOTFIGHT' for 10% off at the Holy energy drink shop, contrasting it with WWE's ticket pricing.", "The review concludes with anticipation for the final SmackDown before WrestleMania, hinting at possible further ticket discounts.", "Throughout, the hosts maintain a critical yet analytical tone, focusing on storytelling flaws and character developments in WWE programming."]
