WWE Confirms Which Night Pat McAfee Vs Austin Theory WrestleMania 38 Match Will Take Place

WWE

WWE has officially revealed which night the Pat McAfee vs Austin Theory match will happen during WrestleMania 38 weekend.

Confirmed on WWE.com, McAfee will return to the ring to face Austin Theory on WrestleMania 38 Sunday (April 3). Theory had announced that he’s set to do battle with McAfee on last week’s edition of SmackDown.

The preview of the match reads:

Pat McAfee will return to the squared circle on WrestleMania Sunday against a dangerous Superstar lookin to prove himself to Mr. McMahon, Austin Theory!

During his first live interview in 15 years on “The Pat McAfee Show,” WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon personally invited McAfee to compete at The Showcase of the Immortals, responding to the former NFL player’s tremendous connection to the WWE Universe.

McAfee first left his mark in a WWE ring when he made a series of memorable appearances in NXT. This included his fearless showing inside the unforgiving double steel structure of NXT TakeOver WarGames 2020. Since putting his gear on the shelves, the outspoken personality has endeared himself to fans as the color commentator on Friday Night SmackDown.

McAfee did not have to wait long to find out his opponent. Just one night after Mr. McMahon’s offer was extended, Austin Theory emerged to belittle the SmackDown commentator. After claiming that the WWE Chairman was simply setting up McAfee to get beat up at The Show of Shows, Theory informed him that he was his WrestleMania opponent. He then promised to beat McAfee to a pulp and slapped the headset right off his head.

It had previously been reported that Vince McMahon vs Pat McAfee was internally listed for the April event. You can check out the latest on Vince McMahon’s WrestleMania 38 role right here.

WrestleMania 38 Sunday will feature a ‘Winner Takes All’ title unification match, with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar set to face off against Universal Champion Roman Reigns with all the gold on the line.
