Steve Austin has given high praise to Pat McAfee, who has wrestled a few matches in WWE in addition to serving as a color commentator.
After working a few matches in NXT, McAfee beat Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38 last year before he lost to Vince McMahon right after it. Austin would come out to make the save where he hit a Stunner to all three stars. McAfee made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 39 for a short match with The Miz.
McAfee is currently away from WWE as Wade Barrett started to fill in for McAfee as a color commentator on WWE SmackDown when the former NFL punter joined College Gameday last year. He recently signed a big money deal with ESPN.
