Pat McAfee on temporary leaving WWE to focus on ESPN s College GameDay

On the latest episode of The Pat McAfee Show', the 35-year-old spoke about his decision to step away from the company on a temporary basis. McAfee explained that he wanted to remain on the SmackDown commentary team and try to do both gigs at the same time. However, WWE didn't think it was such a good idea due to all the travel that would be required for Pat to pull it off. The former punter added that he has nothing but love for the company. "So the original thought for me was, I could do SmackDown and GameDay. The folks at the WWE... I have nothing but great feelings towards. I reach out to them and chit chat with them, they were the ones who said, ' Hey man, if you're going to do GameDay, which is a great opportunity, congratulations... you cannot be traveling overnight for the entirety of the season. It's not good for your health, your family, it's not good for anything. Whenever the time is right, we'll have you, definitely be back in our family," added McAfee.

He defeated Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38, only to lose to former CEO Vince McMahon shortly after. McAfee most recently defeated Happy Corbin at SummerSlam. Time will tell when he will return to SmackDown, but fans will surely welcome him back when he does so. Do you want someone else to replace Pat on SmackDown?
