WWE’s Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy & Development, Triple H, was a guest on ESPN’s Get Up this morning where he challenged Pat McAfee to face off against Adam Cole as part of the WWE NXT Takeover 30 event, stemming from an incident where McAfee punt-kicked Cole to end last night’s WWE NXT broadcast on the USA Network.

“There is one thing about Pat McAfee that everyone should understand, Pat grew up dreaming about being a WWE superstar, it is everything that he thought he would ever be as a kid. He ended up in the NFL and one of the most successful and toughest kickers ever, but his dream was to be in the WWE, the spotlight is really what he craves.

It’s all about Pat McAfee, that’s a good thing, but in this situation, he is craving this spotlight and he is doing it by going after Adam Cole, he is in his head. Pat McAfee wants to be famous, I can make his dream come true. You want to be famous, we have a big Takeover on August 22, put your money where your mouth is. Pat Mc Afee vs. Adam Cole.”

McAfee has yet to respond to Triple H’s challenge.
