Such an incident occurred on Raw after WrestleMania when Gunther attacked Michael Cole and Pat McAfee. Michael Cole has been on the receiving end of the assault many times before, but this was the first time Pat McAfee was attacked in WWE. Michael Cole is known to use harsh words and be critical while doing his job. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gunther FORCES Jey Uso to watch his VICIOUS ATTACK on Jimmy Uso: Raw highlights, March 31, 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7TICUqoXJeE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Michael Cole condemned Gunther for attacking Jimmy Uso in front of his brother.
