Pat McAfee is straight up spitting facts
Pat McAfee is a natural at his job as a commentator on WWE SmackDown. He often finds creative ways to entertain the viewers in between calling the action. His recent fascination with Shinsuke Nakamura and his entrance music has accounted for hilarious GIFs on social media. It has obviously affected his relationship with Corbin.
McAfee and Corbin’s personal history dates back to their days in the NFL, and both are good friends in real life. Staying true to his character, Pat McAfee stated that he prefers Shinsuke Nakamura now due to the latter’s recent run on WWE SmackDown. Justifying the monumental shift in his allegiance, McAfee said:
"Well you know, me and King Corbin go back a long way...well now he is just a basic-a** Baron I guess. Me and Baron Corbin go back to his peasant days, long before any of these royal conversations and as soon as Boogs and Shinsuke teamed up, it was just too much magic and majesty. You know I couldn't remain Royal to the Baron, the King Corbin. I had to jump shipment."
After weeks of feuding on WWE SmackDown, Nakamura and Corbin faced each other in a "Battle for the Crown". The former eventually won the match and crowned himself as the one true king of the Blue brand. It will be interesting to see what’s in store for the new king of WWE SmackDown.
