Pat McAfee comments on missing WWE.
McAfee stepped away from his full-time gig as a commentator on WWE SmackDown in the fall off 2022 to take a gig on ESPN College Gameday. Though McAfee has returned for cameo appearances at the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, he has grown The Pat McAfee Show to the point where he's busier than ever.
Taking part in an Instagram Q&A, McAfee was asked if he misses WWE.
"This is going to sound like pandering or a cheap pop. It's not. Every day. Literally. When I was in the NFL, I was envious of people who could do indie wrestling because I wasn't allowed under my NFL contract and I couldn't jeopardize what was paying for my me, family and friends to have a much better life. I get an opportunity to wrestle and do the WWE life, an it was an honor and a dream, and I had the time of my fucking life in there. Loved it, every single moment, but now my business has got to a point where I’m very lucky for this and fortunate for this. We’ve worked our ass off, but I’m incredibly busy, and we’ve got fifteen employees over here that are having babies and building houses. It’s a tough thing to deal with mentally because emotionally, I want to be there, but I just can’t timing wise. We will figure it out," he said.
It is unknown when McAfee will return to the WWE.
In the past, McAfee has stated he's a big fan of LA Knight. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
