The idea for a match was suggested by Snoop Dogg.
Before the main event of WWE WrestleMania 39, the hosts of this year’s show, Snoop Dogg and The Miz went to the ring and Snoop suggested the idea of Miz having a match. Miz claimed to have sent out a tweet about an open challenge but no one answered.
Coming out to the ring was Pat McAfee, who stated that he did not see Miz’s alleged tweet but he was here to wrestle him. The match was made official and McAfee scored a win over Miz. San Francisco 49ers Tight End George Kittle got involved and assisted McAfee.

While WWE CEO Nick Khan was making the media rounds this week, he stated that there were no plans for McAfee at WrestleMania. Khan was ringside for the match.
Pat McAfee is now 3-3 in matches for WWE.
