Controversy is brewing in WWE, and at the center of the storm is none other than commentator Pat McAfee. Over the past week, McAfee has managed to rub two prominent figures the wrong way, leaving a trail of unhappy faces in his wake.
Firstly, McAfee’s comments about General Manager Adam Pearce didn’t sit well with the authority figure. The commentator took to social media to call Pearce a “bald stooge” after Pearce failed to add Bron Breakker to the King of the Ring tournament. This didn’t go down well with Pearce, who promptly summoned McAfee to his office for a chat. The writing was on the wall – McAfee was in trouble.
However, that wasn’t the only instance where McAfee found himself on the wrong side of someone. During a match between Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria in the Queen of the Ring tournament, McAfee’s commentary style didn’t impress Kai. When he shouted at her to get Valkyria back into the ring, Kai was quick to remind him that she had a 10-count and didn’t need to act immediately. McAfee’s mistake sparked a heated exchange, with Kai demanding that he learn the rules, given his role as a commentator.
In a surprising turn of events, McAfee surrendered, acknowledging his mistake. However, this hasn’t helped him escape the wrath of Pearce, who is still fuming over the “bald stooge” remark.
This isn’t the first time McAfee has found himself in trouble with Pearce. Just last week, the commentator had another run-in with the General Manager over his comments about the King of the Ring tournament. It remains to be seen if McAfee will face public punishment for his recent transgressions, but one thing is certain – he needs to tread carefully to avoid getting on the wrong side of WWE authorities and stars.
With tensions running high, fans are eagerly waiting to see how this situation unfolds. Will McAfee learn to keep his opinions in check, or will his sharp tongue continue to land him in hot water? Only time will tell.
