Pat McAfee’s sudden departure from the WWE announce team left fans wondering if they would ever see him return to the wrestling world. Since leaving the WWE, McAfee has been keeping himself busy with various broadcasting gigs, including appearances on College GameDay and other sporting events. He has also continued to host his wildly successful podcast, which has brought in a significant amount of revenue. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, McAfee is currently in high demand, with ESPN interested in him taking on a regular role. This development has some fans doubting whether McAfee will ever return to the WWE.
As it stands, McAfee’s circumstances make it unclear whether he will ever return to wrestling full-time. Meltzer notes that while McAfee has a passion for wrestling, he doesn’t need the WWE’s money, as his podcast and other endeavors have brought in a substantial income. Additionally, with his growing family and other responsibilities, McAfee may not have the time or desire to commit to a regular wrestling schedule. Wade Barrett, a former WWE wrestler, believes that McAfee is unlikely to return as a weekly character, citing his various commitments and the fact that football season has come and gone.
