Pat McAfee Admits WWE’s Vince McMahon Investigation Is ‘Incredibly Problematic’

It did not take Pat McAfee much time to become one of the best things about Friday Night Smackdown. This is because of his solid skills as a commentator and personality. McAfee also commented on Vince McMahon’s plight.

Vince McMahon managed to make headlines for all the wrong reasons after he secretly paid $3 million as a settlement to a departing employee. For that reason, McMahon is currently under investigation.

While speaking on his show on Thursday, Pat McAfee shared his thoughts on Vince McMahon’s investigation. McAfee made it clear that he felt it was problematic.

“Yesterday, the WWE, I know less than everybody else. This is just me, I don’t know shit about f****. I go in, do my thing, say hello to everybody, I’m out. I’m in, maybe the most awesome situation in the history of WWE for anybody. I’m a lifelong fan of the company, but I’m not part of anything. I’m part of no groups, I have no locker room. I literally bounce around, do my thing, and I’m out. It’s designed to be that way, I think Michael Cole and everyone have set it up to be that way. ‘This is the best way for this to happen, let’s keep him out of everything. He comes in and does his thing.’ I’m very fortunate, lucky, and I love that job. Outside looking in, it’s like, [makes a curious face]. After watching Succession, anytime a board is trying to do something, it’s hard not to be like, ‘woah, woah, woah.’ Yesterday, on the Internet, there was a lot of ‘who is, what is.’ I’m going there tomorrow. I’m excited to hear the chatter. Obviously, what is being alleged is not fantastic at all, it’s terrible. There will be full investigations.

Succession has ruined my life. It’s completely ruined my life. Yesterday, when this hits the internet out of nowhere, I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ It’s hard not to start piecing things together and be like, ‘you could see how that person would want…then that…if that was happening…how does this not come out?’ I’m watching along with everybody else. That came out of nowhere. What will happen? There are going to be a lot of investigations. There will be investigations about the investigations and those investigations will contradict other investigations. Will you ever get the truth? No, hopefully, we get part of it though. That’s what everyone is hoping for. There were like six people at the WWE trending #1 yesterday. Out of nowhere. You open the trends and all the tweets are…’Oh, this person obviously did….did you hear this story from this person?’ For a good 9-10 hours, it was just, ‘holy shit, I’m learning a lot about a lot of things.’ What’s real, what isnt? Who knows. Hopefully, I’ll find out at some point. Hopefully, we all will. Who knows how that whole thing will go. It sounds incredibly problematic.”

WWE’s Board of Directors does not have the power to fire Vince McMahon via a vote. However, there is the belief that McMahon’s career could be over for good. We’ll keep you updated on this ongoing story.
