McAfee reflected on the funny backstage interactions at WrestleMania 38
Recently Pat McAfee reflected on some of the funny interactions that took place backstage with the producers of WWE at WrestleMania 38. Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show he said, “I was walking to gorilla which is the last stop before you go out. And, four different producers were like, ‘when you go out there, the bottom of the entrance is like a star, make sure you get to the middle because it is sharp on the side there,” Pat McAfee said.
“I was like ‘okay, yeah.’ They’re like ‘well, AJ literally just ran his face into the side of it. He’s bleeding right now.’ I was like ‘what?’ I was like ‘AJ Styles is bleeding right now?’ ‘Match hasn’t started and he’s bleeding. So, we need you not to do that too. Okay, thank you so much.’ And I was like ‘you got it.’
“Then the next producer came ‘hey when you go out there, there’s a slant. Make sure you get all the way to the middle.’ I’m like, ‘oh yeah, why’s that?’ Like, now I’m gassing.
‘Well AJ Styles just ran his face into it. So, we need that not to happen.’ ‘Okay, thank you so much. You saved my life.’ So then I’m walking four more steps. Another producer ‘hey, on your entrance, I don’t know if you’ve heard or not.’ ‘Yep, got it. Face thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Pat McAfee concluded.
