In the summer of 2009, Pat McAfee and Tom Pestock were vying for spots on the Indianapolis Colts roster.
Thirteen years later, the two will square off in a grudge match at SummerSlam.
“There was no foreshadowing of it then,” says Pestock, who is best known in WWE as Baron Corbin. “Pat’s went on to have success in everything he’s done. This is an age-old battle of good versus evil. Pat will try to find success in Nashville at SummerSlam, and I’ll do everything I can to stop him.”
In a set of circumstances then-Colts coach Jim Caldwell could have never envisioned, McAfee and Corbin have evolved from teammates to in-ring rivals inside WWE.
