Triple H tells Pat McAfee to put his money where his mouth is.
Pat McAfee and Adam Cole have been on a collision course for several weeks and now, Triple H, in an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, is telling Pat McAfee to meet Adam Cole in the squared circle at NXT TakeOver XXX.
Triple H made the appearance after Pat McAfee ended the August 5 episode of NXT 5 punting Adam Cole in the chin and knocking him out cold. On ESPN, Triple H would reveal that Pat McAfee always wanted to be a WWE Superstar and now he would give him a chance.
You want to be famous, Pat McAfee? Triple H is here to do that for you.
After a wild finish to NXT, Triple H joined ESPN’s “Get Up” this morning to deliver a major challenge for NXT TakeOver XXX. The 14-time World Champion extended an invitation for Pat McAfee to face Adam Cole in the ring during the August 22 event.
The NFL Pro Bowler and the longest reigning NXT Champion had been locked in a heated war of words, but the pair had appeared to reach a truce before last night’s edition of the black and gold brand. The peace wouldn’t last long as an incensed Cole confronted McAfee on commentary, and the two had to be separated by officials. McAfee got in the final brutal message however, as the man who made his career with his right foot delivered an earth-shattering punt to Cole before being escorted out the door.
Will McAfee be willing to accept and step into Cole’s world at NXT TakeOver XXX? Stay tuned to WWE Digital for updates.
Don’t miss an epic NXT TakeOver XXX on August 22 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on the award-winning WWE Network. And catch NXT on Wednesday nights at 8/7 C on the USA Network.
