WWE commentator and social media sensation Pat McAfee appeared on an episode of Stephanie’s Places, where he discussed various topics, including how his signing with the company happened.
McAfee said, “I got a text from a random number. It was like, ‘Hey, this is Michael Cole, do you have a minute?’ I’m like, this is fake. ‘We’re looking for somebody to be on the NXT panel.’ They invited me down to Louisiana and I viewed it as the greatest day of my life. I’ve been a pro bowler multiple times, I kicked off a Super Bowl, and getting asked to go be a part of the NXT kickoff panel was maybe the best phone call I’ve ever got in my life. From that moment on it’s like, what do you need me for, how can I be a part of it?”
