WWE EVP of Global Talent Strategy & Development Paul “Triple H” Levesque took to Twitter this week to praise SmackDown commentator Pat McAfee.
As noted, WWE announced on Thursday that McAfee has signed a new multi-year contract with the company. Triple H reacted to the announcement and expressed major admiration for the “jacked” former NFL kicker.
“Very few can transition from professional athletics to entertainment the way @PatMcAfeeShow has. In short, he “gets it” & the authenticity he brings to his fans & the @WWE Universe is the same he brings to every facet of his life. A pleasure working with him. (Plus, he’s jacked!),” Triple H wrote.
The comments were re-tweeted by Interim WWE Chairwoman & CEO Stephanie McMahon.
We noted before how Michael Cole also had major praise for McAfee on social media this week, as seen at this link.
McAfee is currently feuding with Happy Baron Corbin for a match at WWE SummerSlam, but he will be missing tonight’s SmackDown on FOX episode, as revealed earlier today.
