#2. WWE Color Commentator Pat McAfee

In July 2020, former WWE NXT Champion Adam Cole made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. During the show, McAfee laughed at Cole for calling himself The King of NXT. He also mocked Cole's height and told him that his Undisputed Era teammates are more talented than him.

The former NXT Champion got frustrated with McAfee's comments. He cursed out McAfee, broke his recording equipment, and pushed his producer before storming out.

A few days later, Adam Cole apologized for his actions on Twitter. WWE COO Triple H also made an appearance on McAfee's show to address the incident. He apologized to the former NFL player.

"I apologize for Adam coming on your show. He is the nicest guy in the world. He comes on your show, there’s an interaction where I believe Adam is being a little overly sensitive and you being Pat McAfee, a professional button pusher – you needle people for a living. I didn’t ask him to put out an apology or do anything. He’s a grown man responsible for his own actions," Triple H said to McAfee.

In August 2020, McAfee went head-to-head with Adam Cole at NXT TakeOver XXX but came up short. McAfee is currently a color commentator on SmackDown, alongside Michael Cole.
