The former Indianapolis Colts punter faced WWE superstar Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38. Throughout the match, he displayed his athleticism, including leaping upon the top rope and giving Theory a suplex off it.

The former All-Pro NFL player defeated Theory with a roll-up pin and provoked WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, sitting ringside during the match.

Later, McMahon entered the ring to face McAfee in another match, and it was a relatively quick one as the Chairman defeated him with a punt.

After the match, Dallas, Texas native Stone Cold Steve Austin came into the ring and summoned some beers into the squared circle. McAfee entered and celebrated but was given a Stone Cold Stunner by the Texas Rattlesnake at WrestleMania 38.

Without question, the podcast host put on a show at WrestleMania 38, and fans want to see more of McAfee in the ring in the future.
