Pat McAfee was a part of a match against Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38, a match that was granted by Vince McMahon during the former WWE Chairman’s appearance on his podcast before the Show of Shows.
WWE costume designer Sarath Ton recently revealed that McAfee’s gear for WrestleMania changed at the very last minute. He spoke about this during his appearance on the Notsam Wrestling podcast.
“He had brought his stuff,” Ton said. “He goes, ‘Hey, is there anything you can do to help me to do to help make it a little more WrestleMania?’ So, we just used like, jet black Swarovski crystals and really give it some sparkle. Because, at the end of the day, you can come up with the most elaborate wrestling-ey like, outfit for someone, but if it betrays the character, then you’re kind of like, now, you’re just playing wrestler. You’re just playing dress up. So, you want to keep that same feel Pat has, but, you know, a little pizazz to it.”
