WWE has officially announced that Happy Corbin will wrestle SmackDown color commentator Pat McAfee at SummerSlam.
The two men have been exchanging words over the last few weeks on SmackDown. Corbin had been turning down McAfee’s match challenge at SummerSlam. After Saturday’s Money in the Bank event went off the air, Corbin attacked McAfee, who was sporting a neck brace while in attendance at UFC 276 with the McMahon family.
WWE issued the following announcement:
“It will be no laughing matter when Pat McAfee tangles with Happy Corbin at SummerSlam!
McAfee’s issues with Corbin became apparent on the June 17 edition of SmackDown. Just moments after losing a Last Laugh Match against Madcap Moss, an irate Corbin attempted to take out his frustrations on the blue brand announcer. In response, the outspoken McAfee led the WWE Universe members in Minneapolis in laughing a humiliated Corbin right out of the arena.
The following week, McAfee challenged Corbin to a showdown at The Biggest Event of the Summer and proclaimed he was ready to feel alive. Corbin responded at WWE Money in the Bank with a brutal attack after the show went off the air and let the electric commentator know his challenge was accepted.
The passionate, fearless McAfee claimed an eye-opening win against Theory at WrestleMania, but will he have what it takes to overcome the former King of the Ring, Mr. Money in the Bank and United States Champion?
