Love him or hate him, you have to admit Pat McAfee makes for fantastic television.
His love for Indianapolis and its sports teams often comes to the forefront, and a recent bet he won led to a hilarious moment on WWE's Monday Night Raw.

McAfee and Michael Cole work together as commentators on WWE's weekly Monday Night Raw show. McAfee has been very outspoken of his fandom of the Indiana Pacers in recent years, and Cole is a huge New York Knicks fan. So with the two teams facing off in the Eastern Conference Playoffs in the NBA, an opportunity arose.
The two made a bet that if the Knicks won the series, Pat would have to wear a suit while calling Monday Night Raw. But if the Pacers won, Cole was going to have to ditch his suit for a tank top in honor of McAfee's love for the clothing item. Well, the Pacers got the job done by eliminating the Knicks in game six in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Cole proved to be a man of his word as he removed his suit jacket and buttoned up shirt live during June 3's Monday Night Raw episode. And he revealed that he was not wearing a tank top but instead a Pacers TJ McConnell number nine jersey. Just knowing the Pacers just beat his Knicks made this moment funny already. The most amusing part, though, is the fact that the show was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the venue was likely filled with Oklahoma City Thunder fans. Which I'm sure wasn't on either guy's mind at the time of the bet, but it truly couldn't have worked out more perfectly.
