Pat McAfee hosted his first-ever Big Night AHT event last night at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where over 12,000 fans showed up.
The event did have a lot of WWE-feel to it and Raw ring announcer Alicia Taylor, Raw commentator Michael Cole, and Jey Uso all helped by showing up during the event.
Cole said that he has been best friends with McAfee for over the past decade and said that he made a lot of his dreams come true, including one that he was fulfilling right there.
Cole mentioned how his dream was always to drink Jack Daniels in front of thousands of people like a proper rock ‘n’ roll star and thanks to McAfee, he gets to do it. Cole drank some JD from the bottle and handed it over to McAfee. McAfee called him “the greatest of all time” before Cole helped commentate a sumo match.
Alicia Taylor did the introduction for the sumo match and earlier in the night, Pittsburgh fans yeeted with Jey Uso who came out to his WWE theme through the crowd and helped McAfee give away thousands of dollars.
The event featured tons of celebrities including Jelly Roll, Oz Pearlman, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Pittsburgh Steelers football players, Ben Roethlisberger, and many more.
