Pat McAfee misses WWE every day.
Pat most recently appeared on WWE programming back at WrestleMania 39 when he faced The Miz in an impromptu match. Prior to this, Pat had called the 2023 Royal Rumble after a long time away.
Taking part in an Instagram Q&A, McAfee was asked if he misses WWE.
“This is going to sound like pandering or a cheap pop. It’s not. Every day. Literally. When I was in the NFL, I was envious of people who could do indie wrestling because I wasn’t allowed under my NFL contract and I couldn’t jeopardize what was paying for my me, family and friends to have a much better life. I get an opportunity to wrestle and do the WWE life, an it was an honor and a dream, and I had the time of my fucking life in there. Loved it, every single moment, but now my business has got to a point where I’m very lucky for this and fortunate for this. We’ve worked our ass off, but I’m incredibly busy, and we’ve got fifteen employees over here that are having babies and building houses. It’s a tough thing to deal with mentally because emotionally, I want to be there, but I just can’t timing wise. We will figure it out,”
Pat McAfee
As of this writing, there is no timetable for Pat’s return to the announcers desk. We will have to wait and see if he will one day soon make it happen.
