Pat McAfee returned to NXT and is now engaged in a feud with the Undisputed Era. He is currently in a stable with Danny Burch and Oney as their leader. Pete Dunne returned at NXT Halloween Havoc and joined the stable as well. McAfee considers Dunne his “ace in the hole.
McAfee made an appearance on WWE The Bump this week. He was asked regarding his new stable of NXT Superstars. He has been on NXT for a lot longer than some realize as he also worked as a commentator and special contributor. Now McAfee has men who follow him and he will rectify the wrongs after Ridge Holland’s injury caused a change of plans.
“I’ve been around NXT a lot longer than a lot of people that are currently in NXT. And whenever I saw these two incredibly handsome men get treated with disrespect after disrespect, and Ridge Holland got his entire leg broken, it felt like the right time. These two are about to rocket ship, sorry Cameron Grimes, your thing’s out of gas, right to the top, and I’m just honored to be a part of it.”
“Pete Dunne and I have had conversations for a while now. Whenever I started with the Ridge Holland plot, everybody knew and didn’t know what was gonna happen. Pete Dunne was the ace in the hole.”
We will have to see how his stable will be booked.
