WWE’s lead announcer, Michael Cole, recently made an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, where he discussed some of the biggest matches he has called in his WWE career. During the interview, Cole was asked by former TNA Tag Team champion Adam “Pacman” Jones about his favorite moment he has called. Cole had a couple of different answers, highlighting some iconic matches and moments in WWE history.
One of the matches Cole mentioned was the clash between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena at WrestleMania 28 in 2012. Cole described this match as one of the biggest stories that WWE had ever done. The moment was significant because it brought together two of the biggest stars in the industry at that time. The Rock and John Cena’s careers were at their peak, and the match was a huge draw for fans.
Another memorable moment for Cole was when Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31. Rollins interrupted the main event match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns and successfully cashed in his contract to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Cole described this moment as his favorite, as it showcased the unpredictability and excitement that professional wrestling can offer.
During the interview, McAfee also praised Cole’s recent work, particularly his involvement in The Bloodline storyline. McAfee highlighted a specific line from a recent episode of SmackDown where Cole exclaimed “et tu Jey,” referencing the betrayal of Jey Uso towards Roman Reigns. McAfee’s praise further solidified the bond and respect between the two.
While McAfee and fans might have their own opinions on Cole’s best calls, it is essential to acknowledge Cole’s vast body of work throughout his career. His contributions to WWE’s commentary team have been significant, and he has been a consistent voice in the company for many years.
Although there have been other notable moments and matches that Cole has called, including recent ones, such as Sami Zayn’s reunion on SmackDown, Cole’s personal favorite remains the Rollins cash-in at WrestleMania 31. It was a pivotal moment that changed the landscape of the WWE Championship and showcased the excitement and surprise that wrestling fans crave.
