Pat McAfee Taking Hiatus From WWE After 8/19 RAW Show

WWE RAW brand commentator Pat McAfee announced earlier today on Instagram that tonight’s WWE RAW show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida will be his last WWE show for “a while.”

McAfee stated that the official reason is due to his commitments with ESPN for the upcoming college football season. The first episode of ESPN’s College GameDay for the upcoming college football season takes place this Saturday, August 24th.

“All right, last Monday Night Raw Monday for a bit. Very bummed out that tonight will be my last trip to that wonderful WWE family for a while. All right, let’s have a day. I’m bummed out. Football season is starting, which is awesome. But the WWE family is where I’m supposed to be. And I know that, and I hope they do too.”

Pat McAfee has announced that tonight’s #WWERaw will be his last WWE appearance for a while due to the CFB and NFL seasons kicking off.
