Pat McAfee addresses his absence from WWE television

WWE announcer Pat McAfee has not been on WWE television since the June 9th 2025 edition of RAW. Wade Barrett filled in for McAfee on June 9th and Corey Graves stepped in after that.

During The Pat McAfee Show, Pat addressed his absence…

“Continuing to just like kinda catch up on life as a whole. Post-Money in the Bank, pre-Night of Champions. Feels like a good time, I was getting pretty exhausted there. So, shout out to everybody at WWE for looking out for me, too. Very, very thankful.”

McAfee then issued a response to critics in a post via Twitter/X…

“I was getting pretty exhausted.. I produce/host a 5 day a week show, have been on the go every week since Dublin last year before College Football.. plus I run my growing company with 14 employees and have a 2 year old daughter.

Thank you all so much.

Excited for the future of my life.”
