The crowd at Enterprise Center was still buzzing from the undercard when a familiar voice cut through the chaos—this time not from the commentary desk, but from the ring. The post Pat McAfee Breaks Silence After Losing to Former WWE Champion at Backlash appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Gunther defeated WWE Raw commentator and former NFL punter Pat McAfee in a grudge match at Backlash on Saturday. McAfee may have lost the fight, but he continued to win over the WWE Universe's hearts—and the respect of Gunther.

The daily ESPN show is "a 3 hour promo", basically. Pat's infectious energy appeals to viewers tuning in; it's morning show radio host on caffeine content, and it's making McAfee a lot of money. He'll take that, especially because he's able to enjoy the best of both worlds: WWE and other sports.
