WWE RAW is moving forward in its Netflix era, and soon, the success of the first six months of the unprecedented deal will be a hot topic of debate. Michael Cole is among the veterans experiencing a career resurgence on the red brand right now, and now he's set for a major stunt after losing a viral bet.
The Voice of WWE has loosened up in recent months, something he credits to Triple H. Cole and Pat McAfee quickly became one of the most beloved commentary teams in pro wrestling, calling the action on the main roster. RAW on May 19 saw Cole and McAfee make a bet. Pat promised to call the show in a full suit if the NY Knicks won the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and Cole agreed to call the show in a tank top if the Indiana Pacers won.

The Boomstick is now owed a payoff from Cole. The Pacers defeated the Knicks 4-2 to win Game Six on Saturday, now they will begin the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder later this week. While the RAW commentary team has not provided an update on the bet as of this writing, the WWE Universe has reminded them countless times over the last 24 hours, so it is unlikely that it will be just forgotten without Cole paying his debt.
Dominik Mysterio made an outrageous comment recently. More details HERE
Cole has not confirmed when his tank top stunt will take place. This week's RAW will take place at the BOK Center in Tulsa, and next week's post-MITB show will air live from the PHX Arena in Phoenix. The red brand will then finish June in Green Bay, Columbus, and Pittsburgh.
