First the bad news. Pat McAfee and his shiny new contract will not be on SmackDAHN tonight (July 8).
Normally you’d assume the kayfabe-leaning commentator is selling the beatDAHN he took from his SummerSlam opponent Happy Corbin. But instead he’s having fun in the sun for a good cause — while WWE is in Texas, Pat golfs for charity in Nevada.
The other news (whether it’s good or not is subjective)?
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre will renew their rivalry. Both men had a chance to secure a title shot at Money in the Bank last weekend. They were unable to get the briefcase at a time of their choosing. But they can earn one on September 3rd in Cardiff, Wales by beating their old frenemy in the ass.
According to WWE.com:

Drew McIntyre will once again fight Sheamus in a high stakes match for the right to challenge either Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at the WWE Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event.
Reigns will also perform tonight, as will new Women’s Champion Liv Morgan. The other thing WWE is promoting for the July 8 episode is Max Dupri and his recently introduced Maximum Male Models, ma.çé and mån.sôör, unveiling their new tennis apparel collection.
Would have liked to have heard Pat’s call for this…
