Pat McAfee to Remain Active on WWE RAW Despite College GameDay Return

Pat McAfee made a return to WWE earlier this year. Fans were concerned that he might take a hiatus from his WWE RAW duties once ESPN’s College GameDay began, especially after McAfee signed a lucrative deal with ESPN. However, recent reports indicate that McAfee will continue his role on WWE RAW despite his new commitments.

McAfee recently announced his return to College GameDay, expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming college football season starting on August 24th, which he believes could be one of the greatest in history. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there was speculation that McAfee would be pulled from his announcing duties on WWE RAW once he joined the College GameDay team.

“It is expected that Pat McAfee will be pulled out of his announcing position on WWE RAW once he joins the College GameDay crew during football season,” Meltzer reported.

However, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select clarified the situation on the Backstage Report podcast, noting that there will be no changes to McAfee’s schedule for WWE RAW. McAfee will continue to travel for Monday Night Raw and handle commentary duties while balancing his commitments to ESPN College GameDay. Sapp explained that McAfee’s College GameDay obligations will involve preparation on Fridays and activities on Saturdays, allowing him to still participate in WWE RAW on Mondays.

“I’ve been told as of now nothing is changing. His obligations will be likely prepping on Friday and doing the stuff on Saturday, but then Monday he is still able to travel in and do the show,” Sapp stated.

Fans can look forward to seeing McAfee continue his energetic commentary on WWE RAW while also taking on his new role with ESPN’s College GameDay.
