Gunther defeated WWE Raw commentator and former NFL punter Pat McAfee in a grudge match at Backlash on Saturday. McAfee may have lost the fight, but he continued to win over the WWE Universe's hearts—and the respect of Gunther.

At one point, Mysterio honored Eddie Guerrero and Liv Morgan, the latter filming a movie. The Judgement Day tried to interfere in the match, but it appeared Finn Balor purposely took too long. With the referee distracted with the group, El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) helped Mysterio get the win.

WWE commentator Pat McAfee revealed the eye injury he suffered at the hands of the 'Ring General' Gunther at Backlash. His latest match against WWE's Gunther left Pat McAfee battered, and he revealed another injury during the May 12, 2025, edition of Monday Night RAW on Netflix.
