Let's Go!
Pat McAfee returned to the commentary booth at WWE Royal Rumble, kicking off the show by making his entrance and joining Michael Cole and Corey Graves at the desk. McAfee's music caught Cole off guard, who said that he talked to McAfee earlier on Saturday and had no idea he would be at the event. McAfee said he lied to Cole about his status.
McAfee stepped away from his WWE commentary duties in September 2022 to join the ESPN College Gameday team. He was replaced on WWE SmackDown commentary by Wade Barrett.
