Pat McAfee in the WWE
The wrestling fans got their first taste of Pat McAfee in 2018. He worked as a comedian wrestling analyst for WWE’s third brand, NXT. There, the punter would get in some trouble with the Undisputed Era and Adam Cole. McAfee would use his YouTube talk show to promote upcoming wrestling matches and events. He invited Adam Cole to an episode but things went sideways.
Both the athletes would meet in the ring at an NXT pay-per-view called NXT Takeover: XXX. Adam Cole would come out on top. A little while later, McAfee would join the SmackDown Live broadcast team after signing a multi-year deal with the company. This contract came alongside an absurd FanDuel deal. According to the New York Post, “In what might be the richest talent deal in sports media history, FanDuel has reportedly signed a contract with “The Pat McAfee Show” worth in the vicinity of $30 million annually.” Pat has become one of the most fun and entertaining parts of the Friday night show. The Pat McAfee Show would continue to host WWE wrestlers and personalities.
