Pat McAfee isn't done with WWE, if Triple H's comments are any indication

After feuding for weeks on end, former NXT Champion Adam Cole and former football punter Pat McAfee finally went at it inside the squared circle, and the latter genuinely surprised the WWE Universe with his in-ring skills. McAfee ended up losing to Cole, but he has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and he's garnering tons of praise for his performance on tonight's show.

Following the event, WWE EVP Triple H held a media call and opened up on Pat McAfee's future in NXT. The Game had good news for the fans who liked what they saw tonight, and stated that McAfee "has every intention of continuing to wrestle in NXT". He added that he could possibly wrestle on other major brands as well, as he is very serious about this.

The Pat McAfee vs Adam Cole outing was a pleasant surprise for the fans

Pat McAfee certainly delivered tonight at NXT TakeOver: XXX, and one of his moves during the bout is currently going viral on social media. He recently opened up on his dreams to become a pro-wrestler.

I think it was just naturally what I was doing. And I think that is why I've always thought, 'I'm probably supposed to be a wrestler,' because I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I feel like I'm a pretty good talker and a pretty good athlete.

If Pat McAfee is keen on wrestling on NXT and RAW/SmackDown in the near future, there are some very interesting matchups waiting for him.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
