Takeover: War Games made history this year for a number of reasons, one of these was because there was a match on the pre-show for the first time. As part of the pre-show, Pat McAfee joined Charley Caruso and Sam Roberts and was able to go off on a complete rant where he put over the show in Chicago in quite a powerful speech.

Whilst Pat's promo was an interesting one, it probably didn't make up for the fact that a few minutes earlier he had decided to refer to Rhea Ripley by a new name. When talking about the fact that Ripley was in a tough position because Mia Yim had been taken out minutes before their match, McAfee accidentally called the former NXT UK Women's Champion "Rhea Shipley" before going on to correct himself.

This isn't the first mistake that the WWE Universe has picked up from McAfee whilst he's been worked on WWE's pre-show panel since he called The Authors of Pain obese a few years ago, which caused a lot of controversy on Social Media when Pat was relatively unknown to the NXT Universe.
