Pat McAfee announced he is dealing with numerous injuries sustained during his match against Gunther at WWE Backlash. The RAW commentator disclosed the extent of his physical ailments on the subsequent broadcast.
McAfee detailed his condition, stating, “WWE medical saw. They wanted to get their hands on me today before they let me out here. I said everything’s sore. My back’s sore, shoulder’s sore, my knees are sore, my mind’s sore, I’ve got bruises on me still. My collarbone. I’m bruised up.”
He further revealed a significant injury, adding, “He hit me so hard in the chest, that he popped an eye vessel in my eye Cole.” McAfee’s pre-show evaluation by the WWE medical team caused his lateness to the commentary table.
