The Unproven One vs. Pat McAfee on this Sunday

In the beginning of last month, Vince McMahon appeared on the Pat McAfee show and offered him a WrestleMania match. However, the speculation was Mr. McMahon possibly fighting McAfee. Since then, Austin Theory was all riled up to fight McAfee, expressing his wish to back McMahon. It was predictable that the feud would develop into something bigger.

The SmackDown announcer was taunted by Theory in a previous SmackDown, last month. He interrupted McAfee on the commentary booth promising to beat McAfee to a pulp and slapped the headset right off his head. Also, it led to a brief physical action between the two.

Later, McAfee had to apologize in order to continue, but that was not a heart-felt one and the feud got only worse. Friday night, he almost got into the ring, but co-commentator Michael Cole stopped him.
