WWE Friday Night SmackDown commentator Pat McAfee has truly been a breath of fresh air on the blue brand this year.

It was announced after WWE WrestleMania 37 in April that the former NFL punter would be joining the SmackDown broadcast booth alongside Michael Cole.

Since becoming a part of the commentary team, Pat McAfee has received universal acclaim for bringing energy, passion, and enthusiasm to WWE television every week.

McAfee has stepped into the squared circle in the past. The former NFL star competed in matches against Adam Cole during his time in NXT and even participated in a War Games match at NXT TakeOver last year.

Interestingly, McAfee is often seen air-guitaring when King Nakamura makes his entrance. Perhaps Rick Boogs could take exception to this in the near future, leading to a match between him and the SmackDown broadcaster.


#3 Former WWE 24/7 Champion Elias

Monday Night RAW star Elias is currently in a state of flux on the red brand.

He teamed up with Jaxson Ryker for the majority of 2021 before deserting the latter a few months ago on RAW.

This led to a bitter feud between the two former friends, culminating in bouts such as a strap match and a Symphony Of Destruction match. Both instances saw Ryker emerging victoriously.

During last night's edition of RAW, the former WWE 24/7 Champion threw his guitar into a bonfire, declaring that "WWE stood for 'Walk With Elias,' but Elias is dead."

Perhaps he could be looking to eradicate any musical acts currently performing in WWE. One such act is Rick Boogs on SmackDown. Given both of their musical tendencies, Elias could be the perfect debut opponent for King Nakamura's guitarist.
