It has been a while since WWE commentators were part of an
angle, but last night on Raw, former WWE World Heavyweight
champion Gunther took out Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
Gunther was angry at Michael Cole for his criticism and then
Cole pressed the wrong button by saying he was not the one
who tapped out on Saturday.
That was enough to trigger Gunther, who put Cole in a
chokehold. Cole’s broadcast partner, Pat McAfee, interfered
to get Cole out of the hold but then was on the receiving
end of a rear naked choke by Gunther, who did not let go for
a long time.
Several officials came out to break it off and also prevent
the rest of McAfee’s team who jumped the barricade to help
him from making things worse.
Eventually, Gunther broke the hold and left McAfee gasping
for air. McAfee was assisted to the back and did not return
to the show but Cole returned to a huge ovation with Joe
Tessitore to call the final segment.
