WWE commentator Michael Cole brought some NBA flavour to Monday Night Raw, honouring a lighthearted bet with fellow announcer Pat McAfee by wearing an Indiana Pacers jersey on air.

The friendly wager happened during the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals between McAfee’s beloved Pacers and Cole’s team, the New York Knicks. The two broadcasters agreed that if the Knicks won, McAfee would call Raw in a full formal suit something he wasn’t too thrilled about. If the Pacers took the series, however, Cole would call the show wearing a tank top.

With the Pacers defeating the Knicks in six games, Cole lived up to his end of the deal, appearing on Raw in a snug Pacers jersey. The moment gave fans a good laugh and showcased the playful rivalry between the two commentators.

As the Pacers now prepare to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, it remains to be seen if any new bets will emerge. Monday's episode is the last one before Money in the Bank, one of WWE's most pivotal premium live events (PLEs).
