Pat McAfee is set to face "The Ring General" Gunther at WWE Backlash on May 10. The challenge was made live on WWE's Monday Night Raw, where McAfee, standing atop the announcers' table, accepted the proposal from Manager Nick Aldis, who was filling in for Raw GM Adam Pearce, saying:

A bout between Pat McAfee and WWE Raw has been revealed for the May 10 Backlash pay-per-view. Nick Aldis came out to announce the match, and later Pat McAfee accepted the challenge. Gunther released his anger on Raw last week following his defeat by Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.

Pat McAfee is getting back in the ring. WWE gave the color commentator time to air out his grievances after he was choked out by GUNTHER while defending Michael Cole on the Raw After Mania last week on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
