Pat McAfee to miss next Raw due to ESPN commitments

Pat McAfee will miss Monday Night Raw next week due to his ESPN duties where he will host Field Pass during the CFP National Championship game between Notre Dame and Ohio State in Atlanta.

McAfee is expected to return for the next broadcast and will be free from his college football work after next week with the end of college football season.

Replacing McAfee on the commentary table with Michael Cole will be Smackdown color commentator Wade Barrett. Corey Graves looks like he’s still in the doghouse and has not been recalled yet following the controversial tweet on X earlier this week.
