McAfee entered the ring and saw Omos and Bron Breakker inside the ring. With fear, McAfee jumped from the top rope to eliminate himself from the match.
3. Knockout Adam Cole
In 2020, Adam Cole invaded the Pat McAfee show and had a heated confrontation. Following that McAfee came to NXT confronting Adam Pearce and both talked trash on each other.
