Ah, the wonder of angles in the business of sports entertainment. You can add former Indianapolis Colts star Pat McAfee to those who have played the game … extremely well.
McAfee has been doing announcing for WWE as one of the numerous jobs he has had post-football.
The punter put his NFL skills to good use Wednesday as he connected with a stellar boot to WWE NXT star Adam Cole, leaving him, um, out cold.
Oh, and WWE had the big guns out, too, as you can see company exec and former in-ring star Triple H present during the altercation.
Check it out:
How much was I supposed to take from this beta who is a MANIAC?
Blows up on my show, breaks shit, pushes Ty.
Then..I take time out of MY HONEYMOON, so we can hug it out.
Then he LOSES HIS MIND AGAIN.. assaults me w/ a bottle & I’M THE 1 THAT GETS KICKED OUT?
How’s that fair? pic.twitter.com/5jl30e8Pu8

Cole, who at one point was NXT champion for 403 days, had been a guest on “The Pat McAfee Show” last month and the interview somehow, someway went South. (Warning: NSFW language in below video).
It’s been a busy week for the former punter who punted his bachelorhood.
Yesterday was a great day.. My lady & I said “Yup” to forever together in front of a great group of humans.
My wife is the best & an absolute rocketship..I’m the luckiest man to ever grace this here planet, I appreciate you all more than you could fathom 4 following along.
