No matter what the circumstances are, Messi never fails to deliver. Lionel Messi, 36, went by this norm at his much anticipated MLS debut at DRV PNK stadium last night. Football fanatics across the globe burst into collective amazement when Messi scored a stunning free kick in the 94th minute to defeat Cruz Azul at the death.

Entering minutes after the second half began, the former PSG legend took the lead. He didn’t take long to show just why Miami and MLS celebrated his signing so much, slipping in his teammates behind the defense multiple times. The incredible Messi magic didn’t let the rival team end up in a sure-shot tie in the 65th minute, leaving the cream of the athletic world in awe. However, former NFL star turned WWE personality, Pat McAfee chose to praise Messi in a different tone.

Former NFL punter Pat McAfee had an epic yet surprising reaction to Lionel Messi’s recent glory

WWE commentator, McAfee, has been seemingly a fan of the GOAT of soccer. Being a former NFL punter, he knows very well what Messi brings to the field.

Lionel Messi’s move to Major League Soccer after a lot of buzz has got everyone talking. Soccer fans couldn’t keep calm when news broke that the Paris Saint-Germain attacker was finally making a move to his next destination, David Beckham’s Inter Miami. Pat McAfee wasn’t the exception. He issued a hearty welcome for Messi via Twitter. Also, when Messi’s deal with Miami was in the early stage, the ESPN employee had a five-word reaction on Twitter that read:, ”It’s our sport now.”

Now, as the former Barcelona legend nailed his first match for Miami by scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time, McAfee, by no means, couldn’t let it slide without voicing his thoughts on it. Joining a host of eminent celebrities, including Patrick Mahomes, Rich Eisen, and LeBron James, McAfee, too rushed to his social media handle to acknowledge what Messi did but with a liter tone than others. He used an array of laugh-out-loud emojis before jokingly asking, ”Messi’s the real deal, huh??”

However, continuing with his nuanced football analysis, the WWE insider might turn his head toward the wrestling world as well sooner than you think.

Pat McAfee is seemingly on the verge of his WWE move

The podcaster had a remarkable stint in WWE as a commentator on SmackDown. Also, McAfee recorded a brilliant run in the squared circle as well, making his in-ring main roster debut at WrestleMania 38. There he defeated Austin Theory and stunned the world with his tremendous maneuvers. The match also saw an impromptu interruption from the notorious WWE Boss Vince McMahon. However, eventually, McAfee moved to football leagues for commentary and other mic work but remains a crucial member of WWE, nevertheless.

McAfee was last seen at WrestleMania 39, where he returned to a grand ovation from the crowd against The Miz. Ever since, fans have been missing this talent box inside the commentary table and the squared circle as well. But finally, it seems like they don’t have to miss anymore as the star is seemingly eying a WWE return soon.

While it’s still rolling as speculation without any confirmation from the official source, a potential SummerSlam return seems to be on the card, especially after The Miz recently teased a rematch with McAfee at SummerSlam.
