Bengaluru, March 4: Proving the speculations true, WWE announced two separate matches for Wrestlemania 38 featuring two personalities from the Smackdown brand.

Smackdown commentator Pat McAfee will return to the ring at the upcoming WWE Network Specials as he was privileged enough to receive a 'Mania deal from none other than the Boss himself, Vince McMahon.

The WWE Chairman & CEO appeared on The Pat McAfee Show for a rare interview session, last night and said that he’d like to offer the host, something special. Vince mentioned how Pat is family to the WWE and how his energy is fitting for the company.

He then offered McAfee to wrestle at the Show of Shows in April. Pat was in doubt and he further wanted to clarify if the offer was for real and Vince reassured him. Pat responded that it would be a dream come true to get onboard on the Wrestlemania 38 card.

There is no update yet on who Pat’s opponent will be but it’s been rumoured for the past few days that he will be paired against Vince McMahon himself. Austin Theory has been rumored to be in the corner for McMahon but he was not involved in last night’s interview.

After working as a guest commentator on WWE NXT, Pat McAfee signed a multi-year contract in early 2019 that led to a program with Adam Cole in 2020 and then to his in-ring debut at the NXT Takeover: XXX event.

After digesting a loss, Pat led his team to another hard-fought loss to The Undisputed Era at the 2020 WarGames event in a WarGames match. From April 2021, he was promoted to be the commentator of SmackDown along with WWE’s voice Michael Cole.

Madcap Moss, Corbin’s tag team partner is also featuring in this program which produced a match against Drew McIntyre at Elimination Chamber 2022, last month which McIntyre won. McIntyre vs. Corbin will go down on Night One of WrestleMania 38/WrestleMania Saturday.
