Saturday at WrestleMania 39 brought plenty of fireworks, including the return of Pat McAfee to the ring in one of the surprise moments of the night. McAfee's appearance featured an incredible team-up with San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle, who got involved in McAfee's match against The Miz and helped the former NFL punter to a big victory.

This was McAfee's first WWE appearance since the Royal Rumble in January. He made his presence known after The Miz announced the attendance for WrestleMania Night 1 and claimed he had posted an open challenge online that went unanswered. McAfee challenged The Miz on the spot as Snoop Dogg looked on, leading to the bout. Kittle then got involved after talking some trash, and the two men wound up taking down The Miz:

Afterward, McAfee and Kittle teamed up again for a post-match interview, and they were hyped:
