Pat McAfee found himself in the path of a very angry Gunther during the post-WrestleMania episode of ‘Monday Night Raw,’ and he’s probably still feeling a bit sore.
Gunther was pretty upset after losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso in one of the WrestleMania main events on the weekend and took on play-by-play announcer Michael Cole.
McAfee got involved, stopping the wrestler from locking Cole up in a submission hold, but he ended up being the one who felt Gunther’s wrath as he got choked out, with the Austrian putting him in a sleeper hold.
The former NFL star’s ESPN producers jumped in and tried to get Gunther off him, but their efforts were in vain.
McAfee was not able to continue the broadcast and was replaced by Joe Tessitore.

Gunther had come off a situation in which he was the one stuck in a submission move. Uso got him to submit, resulting in a first world championship.
Gunther told reporters before the bout that he had no problems being the WWE’s party pooper but was the one who got pooped on.
“Welcome to the yeet era,” Uso told reporters after the victory on Saturday night. “I don’t know what’s about to happen. I’m gonna embrace the hate. I’m gonna embrace the love.”
Unfortunately for McAfee, he’s paying for Uso’s exploits even if he wasn’t directly involved.
Still, he’s no stranger to the odd fight as he’s had his own storylines at WWE. This latest incident could mark the beginning of one.
