Theory revealed that he would be McAfee’s opponent at WrestleMania 38 after McMahon offered the opportunity for the SmackDown color commentator to wrestle at the event during an appearance on McAfee’s radio show.
It had been previously reported that McMahon vs. McAfee was internally listed for WrestleMania with the idea that there would be smoke and mirrors. Also, the plan called for Theory to take the majority of the bumps for the WWE Chairman.
Austin worked his first match in 19 years at WrestleMania Saturday when he beat Kevin Owens in a no holds barred match.
