You will be missed Pat - WWE Universe reacts to Pat McAfee stepping away from his role on SmackDown

By Aakaansh Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us 3 Comments Share Pat McAfee wrestled at WrestleMania and SummerSlam! The WWE Universe has reacted to the news that popular SmackDown commentator Pat McAfee will be stepping away from his role. In 2018, the WWE Universe was introduced to Pat McAfee, who worked with the company as a pre-show analyst. A few years later, McAfee began working in NXT where he created his stable to feud against The Undisputed Era. In 2021, he became a color commentator on the blue brand. Last week, McAfee missed the UK premium live event Clash at the Castle, which created some concerns amongst fans. Today, WWE announced that McAfee will be stepping away from his role as a commentator on SmackDown and joining ESPN's College GameDay full-time. Fans were disheartened to hear the announcement as they were fond of McAfee and Michael Cole as a duo. The WWE Universe reacted to McAfee's post where he spoke about his departure and stated that he could return to the company in the near future. Here is how the fans reacted to the news: Pat McAfee@PatMcAfeeShowSmackDAHN will be on hold for a little bit while I do College GameDay..
