Pat McAfee recently caused a production blackout during this week's edition of WWE SmackDown after repeatedly making inappropriate gestures toward the crowd. The former NFL punter's actions forced the production team to momentarily cut the live feed to maintain broadcast standards.
McAfee appeared on the show with what was described as good news for fans still looking to attend WrestleMania 42 on Saturday. However, as he made his entrance, he began aggressively gesturing toward those in attendance, repeatedly flipping off the crowd.
The gestures crossed WWE's broadcast standards, forcing production to black out the live feed. Camera operators quickly adjusted their shots to avoid capturing the inappropriate gestures and keep the segment within the company's PG guidelines.
