Michael Cole Claims Triple H & Kevin Dunn Ribbed Him At WWE Royal Rumble

Michael Cole has confirmed that Triple H and Kevin Dunn ribbed him during the start of last Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.

The show opened up with the return of Pat McAfee, who took a hiatus from WWE in late 2022 to work with ESPN’s College Game Day.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Cole confirmed reports that he and Corey Graves were not told about Pat’s return. He said,

“When the music hit, because when I think Pat McAfee, I still think of White Stripes, so, when the first couple of bars of the new song hit, I didn’t immediately recognize it.

“Then Hunter, Paul Levesque was in my ear, and he said, ‘Are you gonna sell it?’ I mouthed to him in the spy cam, ‘Sell what?’ I’m like, ‘Sell what?’ Then I looked up and I saw your video board, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, you’re ribbing me.’”

Cole added that he sent a text message to both Levesque and the Executive Vice President of Television Production, Kevin Dunn, telling them “You f***ers, I can’t believe that you guys ribbed me.”
