    PAT MCAFEE TO APPEAR ON NXT AND ADDRESS ADAM COLE SITUATION

    WWE has announced that Pat McAfee will be making an appearance on this evening’s episode of NXT to address the situation between himself and Adam Cole.

    Last month Cole stormed out of Pat’s radio show, shoving a producer in a shower of expletives. An apology from Cole followed, with Triple H going on Pat’s show to clear the air.

    It seems WWE plan to cash in at this point, with McAfee tweeting that he would take a break from his honeymoon to “clear up some drama,”. McAfee later posted a picture of him and Cole taking backstage with the following caption:

    “@adamcolepro.. I’m thankful for the opportunity to chat.

    I feel like the convo was something that doesn’t happen often anymore..2 people have a miscommunication, they talk about, can agree to disagree about some things & they move forward.

    How you doin?

    Keep it movin.”
