Pat McAfee has agreed to face Adam Cole in the ring at NXT TakeOver: XXX.
The former NFL player was involved in an altercation with the Undisputed ERA leader this past Wednesday on NXT after their initial confrontation during McAfee's radio show a couple of weeks ago, and wound up knocking Cole unconscious with a well-placed punt kick.
Last night, Triple H laid down a challenge for McAfee to meet Cole face-to-face at TakeOver, and Pat has now responded.
“Two weeks is not a lot of time to learn how to keep up with somebody whose been doing something for over a decade. But two weeks is enough time to find enough anger inside of me. To find enough motivation to beat the sh*t out of Adam Cole. I’ll figure it out. August 22nd is gonna be a problem for the guy who once called himself ‘The King of NXT.’ And Triple H, you said you’re gonna be able to make me famous? Well your biggest guy is about to get made famous and it’s going to be for eating another right foot to the mouth! I accept.”
It's unclear if these guys are going to have an actual match or just a brief brawl, but whatever happens, the segment is certain to bring a lot of eyes to the show.
