On June 9th, it was noticeable that Pat McAfee was absent from WWE Raw. This absence sparked curiosity among fans who started questioning why. As Wade Barrett joined Michael Cole during the show, speculation arose online about McAfee’s potential departure from the company. Could he be stealthily leaving his commentary position? Let’s delve into the details.
Why Pat McAfee was not on WWE Raw tonight
On tonight’s live broadcast of WWE Raw from Phoenix, Arizona, Michael Cole directly addressed the audience, announcing that Pat McAfee wouldn’t be joining him at the commentary booth. Instead, regular SmackDown personality Wade Barrett took his place for this particular episode.
The program failed to provide an explanation for his absence, yet it seems unlikely that anything grave occurred. It appears more probable that he chose to have a break for personal matters or scheduling inconveniences.
Is Pat McAfee leaving WWE Raw?
Contrary to the rising rumors, McAfee continues to be a significant component within WWE Raw’s broadcast team. It is anticipated that he will make his comeback shortly.
While he was away, tonight’s performance continued smoothly due to the replacement. With the crowd still buzzing from John Cena and Logan Paul’s tag team defeat against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank, John Cena made a grand entrance. He promptly grabbed the microphone and targeted R-Truth, who had recently reappeared on the roster. Shifting topics, Cena began discussing his lasting impact.
As soon as he was about to dive in, the lights flickered and “Cult of Personality” echoed through the speakers. CM Punk made his grand entrance, interrupting Cena in the midst of his speech. He marched into the ring, announcing that he wasn’t there to play around. He accused Cena of transforming into everything he previously vowed to combat. Then, the challenge was thrown: Punk declared that he would decide when and where to claim Cena’s WWE Championship.
Just as fans started buzzing about the match setup, Seth Rollins and his crew hit the ring.
