Earlier today, Triple H laid down the challenge to former NFL punter Pat McAfee for a match against Adam Cole on Aug. 22 at NXT TakeOver: XXX.
Adam Cole first responded to Triple H’s challenge by saying he’s going to kick McAfee’s ass:
Let me make this crystal clear for everyone, especially you @PatMcAfeeShow...Hunter is the one who can make this match happen, but I will be the one kicking your ass at #TakeOverXXX...if you’re as bad as you think you are, accept. I dare you.

McAfee then released a video where he accepted the match:
I kicked @AdamColePro’s head off of his body last night on #WWENXT.

I didn’t want to do it, I HAD to do it. He ASSAULTED me with a bottle.
Then I got physically kicked out of the building by @TripleH.
Never thought this is how a honeymoon was supposed to go but
