Pat McAfee Had Negative Thoughts During His Match With Happy Corbin At WWE SummerSlam

Pat McAfee didn’t waste any time in becoming one of the best things about Friday Night Smackdown. This is largely thanks to his solid skills as a commentator and his energetic personality. Despite a great performance, McAfee had negative thoughts during his WWE SummerSlam match.

The voice of Friday Night Smackdown squared off against Happy Corbin in a singles match. Fans were clearly behind McAfee throughout the match. In the end, McAfee came out as the victor.

While speaking during a WWE Digital Exclusive, Pat McAfee reflected on his huge win over Happy Corbin. McAfee admitted that he had negative thoughts during his match.

“Yeah you know, I think there was a chance to really take advantage of Charles, the ref who has been a legend, I remember watching him since I was a kid, so having him officiate a match I was in, especially against a guy that used to be my friend, was a dream come true in its own right,” said McAfee. “But when I saw that beautiful blonde hair flop, after I delivered that right on Corbin’s jaw and he knocked him out of the way, I saw my opportunity to maybe bend the rules a little bit. It’s only illegal or against the rules if you get caught, and there’s no way Charles was gonna be able to see it because big dumb Bum Ass Corbin’s arm hit him right in the face. So I got lucky there, I enjoy that moment.

I was on the top rope, it was close up there, I was dangling, I was bobbling a little bit. There might have been some negative thoughts going in between my ears, but in the end, I got a chance to fly around in Nissan Stadium. I used to play football here against the Tennessee Titans. I have a lot of great memories here, and this one’s right at the top of the list.

Corbin and I know each other very well. We’ve known each other for a long time. We talked about this in the locker room whenever we were both rookies, like 13 years ago. So getting a chance to get in there, even though he was trying to punch my face off and he did a double missies drop kick to my stomach, where I thought my sternum hit my spine, that was cool, that was surreal. But ultimately obviously I’m pumped that I won, and I’m gonna be sore as hell tomorrow, I know that.”

We will have to wait and see what the company will have planned for the former punter, now that he has yet another win under his belt. Triple H certainly realizes that McAfee can get down in the ring, but his value on the commentary table is also incredible.
