WWE has officially announced that Pat McAfee will face Happy Corbin at SummerSlam on July 30.
McAfee notably issued a SummerSlam challenge to Corbin on the June 24 edition of SmackDown.
After Saturday’s Money in the Bank premium live event went off the air, Corbin attacked McAfee, laying the announcer out with an End of Days.
The match has now been made official for SummerSlam, with the following being shared to WWE.com:
It will be no laughing matter when Pat McAfee tangles with Happy Corbin at SummerSlam!
McAfee’s issues with Corbin became apparent on the June 17 edition of SmackDown. Just moments after losing a Last Laugh Match against Madcap Moss, an irate Corbin attempted to take out his frustrations on the blue brand announcer. In response, the outspoken McAfee led the WWE Universe members in Minneapolis in laughing a humiliated Corbin right out of the arena.
The following week, McAfee challenged Corbin to a showdown at The Biggest Event of the Summer and proclaimed he was ready to feel alive. Corbin responded at WWE Money in the Bank with a brutal attack after the show went off the air and let the electric commentator know his challenge was accepted.
The passionate, fearless McAfee claimed an eye-opening win against Theory at WrestleMania, but will he have what it takes to overcome the former King of the Ring, Mr. Money in the Bank and United States Champion?
McAfee last stepped into the ring at WrestleMania 38 in April, pinning Theory, before losing to Vince McMahon in an impromptu match.
SummerSlam will be headlined by a Undisputed WWE Universal Title bout, with Roman Reigns slated to defend his gold against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match. Check out the updated card for the upcoming premium live event at this link.
