During an Q&A on his Instagram on Sunday evening, McAfee said that he does not feel like a return to WWE is something that is supposed to happen right now. He also said that he feels like the business has passed him up a bit.
“Don’t ever say never, especially with WWE, but right now it does not feel like it is something that’s supposed to happen. Feels like that business has kind of passed me by a little bit. I grew up loving it. Dreamed of working it. I feel honored that I had the opportunity to work alongside the GOAT, Michael Cole. I feel like business in good spot without me, and I’ll continue to watch.”
Pat McAfee stepped away from his WWE Raw commentary role in June 2025. McAfee did make an appearance at WWE Wrestlepalooza last September. His most recent match took place in May 2025 with McAfee losing to Gunther at Backlash.
