Former WWE commentator Pat McAfee made a massive career announcement today on social media. McAfee used to call the action on RAW alongside Michael Cole.
It was announced today that the former NFL punter will be joining ESPN’s Monday Night Football Countdown show for the upcoming season. McAfee reacted to the announcement today on social media and stated that he was excited to be a part of the broadcast. You can check out the popular star’s message in the post below.
Thanks for the submission!
“Tis an honor to be a part of MNF in any capacity. I hope I can be an asset as we start the journey to The Biggest Super Bowl of all time in LA on ESPN and ABC. College GameDay on Saturday.. Monday Night Countdown on Monday.. I’m the luckiest man on Earth. Football has been so good to me and my family.. I will try my best to continue to give back to it,” he wrote.
Pat McAfee got involved in the storyline between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton on the road to WWE WrestleMania 42. Most fans rejected his involvement, and he was betrayed by Orton at The Show of Shows. The American Nightmare defeated Orton at WrestleMania and will be facing him again at Sunday Night’s Main Event next month in Georgia.

Popular musician Jelly Roll was also involved in the WWE WrestleMania storyline featuring Pat McAfee, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes, and he had a surprising revelation following the event.
Speaking on a vlog on YouTube, Jelly Roll stated that he loved McAfee, but they should get back to doing what they do best instead of being in WrestleMania storylines.
“I had one goal tonight and I kind of succeeded. Pat, I love you, man. Neither one of us had any business here. I say we get back to what we are good at, man. Even though I am not actually really good at anything. But you are great at something so go do that. I’ll keep searching for what I am going to do when I grow up,” he said.
It will be interesting to see if Pat McAfee ever returns to WWE down the line.
