Pat McAfee won’t be headed back to the WWE anytime soon.
The ESPN College GameDay analyst went on the record about if he would be returning to the wrestling giant in the foreseeable future and was very honest in his response.
“It feels like that business has kind of passed me by a little bit,” McAfee said on social media via Awful Announcing. “I feel like the biz is in a good spot without me.”
Nobody is quite sure what to make of McAfee’s comments. Is this just a good poker face being put up by the former NFL punter or is he being genuine about the situation? One thing is certain, the 38-year-old has embraced his opportunity at ESPN and likely doesn’t want to jeopardize that by a few one-off events for the WWE.

McAfee’s side hustle was behind the commentary desk for WWE, but it appears he’s turning a page on that chapter of his life. He hasn’t returned to wrestling since right before the college football season. There were rumors McAfee would be back. However, don’t count on it happening until it actually does.
McAfee got his start in the WWE as an announcer for NXT in 2020. He was also featured in a few matches as well.
