It looks like we have seen the last of Pat McAfee on WWE television for the next several months as McAfee discussed his departure during his Pat McAfee Show yesterday.
McAfee said that mental exhaustion was the reason why he put the brakes on commentating for WWE, detailing how he went non-stop since August 2024, juggling his show, WWE, family, and other commitments.
“I knew this moment was coming. I knew it was going to happen at some point and it happens to people,” McAfee said. “So I talked to people about it happening and what they went through and as Money in the Bank was happening, I was like…’Oh my god, this is it, I’ve finally hit it.'”
McAfee said that WWE has been great in understanding his position and doesn’t feel terrible about taking a step back because Corey Graves and Wade Barrett are fantastic at doing their job.
“I will always love the WWE and I miss it, but I didn’t think I would have made it,” he continued, adding that with football season around the corner, he would not have survived.
