McAfee put on a show. At one point, he would try to superplex Theory from the top rope but when he got pushed off he landed a backflip. McAfee hopped back onto the top rope and pulled off the maneuver. He would go onto beat Theory in the match but his night was not done.

Vince McMahon, the chairman of WWE, was in Theory’s corner and had seen enough. McMahon took off his business attire and dressed down to his undershirt starting an impromptu match against the SmackDown commentator.
