Another match has been announced for WWE SummerSlam.
On the June 17 episode of WWE SmackDown, Happy Corbin confronted Pat McAfee following a loss to Madcap Moss and berrated the announcer for constantly calling him a bum. McAfee replied by making sure the crowd laughed Happy out of the arena.
The following week, McAfee issued a challenge to Corbin for a match at SummerSlam. On July 2 at WWE Money in the Bank, Corbin attacked McAfee after the show went off the air and accepted the challenge.

This will be McAfee's second match on WWE's main roster, the first of which came earlier this year at WrestleMania 38 when he defeated Theory.
Per WWE:
It will be no laughing matter when Pat McAfee tangles with Happy Corbin at SummerSlam!
McAfee's issues with Corbin became apparent on the June 17 edition of SmackDown. Just moments after losing a Last Laugh Match against Madcap Moss, an irate Corbin attempted to take out his frustrations on the blue brand announcer. In response, the outspoken McAfee led the WWE Universe members in Minneapolis in laughing a humiliated Corbin right out of the arena.
The following week, McAfee challenged Corbin to a showdown at The Biggest Event of the Summer and proclaimed he was ready to feel alive. Corbin responded at WWE Money in the Bank with a brutal attack after the show went off the air and let the electric commentator know his challenge was accepted.The passionate, fearless McAfee claimed an eye-opening win against Theory at WrestleMania, but will he have what it takes to overcome the former King of the Ring, Mr. Money in the Bank and United States Champion?
