In their <em>WrestleMania<\/em> encounter, with McMahon at ringside, it was McAfee that emerged victorious. However, this wouldn&#8217;t be the end of the discussion. Vince McMahon elected to remove his dress jacket, stepping into the ring for an impromptu <em>WrestleMania 38<\/em> match against Pat McAfee.<\/p>\n<p>In what was a largely one-sided affair, McMahon bested McAfee, picking up the pinfall victory. McMahon and Theory proceeded to celebrate in the center of the ring until the familiar theme of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/04\/03\/stone-cold-steve-austin-has-return-wrestlemania-match\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>&#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin<\/strong><\/a> hit. &#8220;The Texas Rattlesnake&#8221; marched to the ring, making short work of Theory before setting his sights on his long-time rival in McMahon. The two seemed to share a beer until Austin dropped McMahon with a Stone Cold Stunner. From there, Austin and McAfee began to drink together. Not unlike McMahon, McAfee would also be on the receiving end of a Stunner.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1510815198600388613?s=20&#038;t=SfHNrwciDFS5cK2tKk7AlQ<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Vince McMahon Wrestles at WrestleMania 38<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>What to Know Following Impromptu WrestleMania Match<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At 76 years old, Vince McMahon wrestled his first match at <em>WrestleMania<\/em> in roughly a decade.
