Pat McAfee found himself in the path of a very angry Gunther during the post-WrestleMania episode of ‘Monday Night Raw,’ and he’s probably still feeling a bit sore.
Gunther was pretty upset after losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso in one of the WrestleMania main events on the weekend and took on play-by-play announcer Michael Cole.
McAfee got involved, stopping the wrestler from locking Cole up in a submission hold, but he ended up being the one who felt Gunther’s wrath as he got choked out, with the Austrian putting him in a sleeper hold.
The former NFL star’s ESPN producers jumped in and tried to get Gunther off him, but their efforts were in vain.
McAfee was not able to continue the broadcast and was replaced by Joe Tessitore.

Pat McAfee Is No Stranger To Scrapping

Gunther had come off a situation in which he was the one stuck in a submission move. Uso got him to submit, resulting in a first world championship.
Gunther told reporters before the bout that he had no problems being the WWE’s party pooper but was the one who got pooped on.
“Welcome to the yeet era,” Uso told reporters after the victory on Saturday night. “I don’t know what’s about to happen. I’m gonna embrace the hate. I’m gonna embrace the love.”
Unfortunately for McAfee, he’s paying for Uso’s exploits even if he wasn’t directly involved.
Still, he’s no stranger to the odd fight as he’s had his own storylines at WWE. This latest incident could mark the beginning of one.

John Cena and Pat McAfee had a hilarious interaction following the former’s record-setting win at WrestleMania 41 on Sunday night.
Cena beat Cody Rhodes to become the most successful world champion and win his 17th belt, moving past Ric Flair.
The wrestler and actor spoke to Pat McAfee on Monday, sitting with the ESPN host on his show, where he called him out for being high all the time.
McAfee told Cena he looked like he had some spring in his step following the notion that he was washed.
“Yeah but dude you’re high as shit out there all the time,” Cena replied, suggesting he only seems fast to Pat because the former NFL star is never sober.

“this wasn’t a secret 😂we all knew and he said he be high af,” a fan pointed out.
“That explains why Pat is f**king insufferable,” said another.
“Bro the last time he talked in that accent, in that tone, in that demeanor was back in 2000s mannnnnn. Peak is back ohh my god,” wrote a third.

As mentioned before, John Cena faced Cody Rhodes on Sunday. The two squared off for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event on Night 2.
Cena, who had undergone a heel turn to secure an opportunity to win a 17th title, hit Rhodes with multiple Attitude Adjustments, while Rhodes also hit back with his Cross Rhodes. But things swung Cena’s way after Travis Scott’s surprise appearance, which distracted Rhodes and gave Cena the advantage.
As to whether he’s become a step slower is up for debate, but Cena has now set himself apart as the only WWE wrestler to win 17 championships and will only concern himself with that.
