Pat McAfee’s Rumble Return Was Kept Quiet From Many In WWE

As formerly reported, Pat McAfee made his go back to WWE’s commentary table at last night’s Royal Rumble. According to a report from PWInsider, McAfee’s return was a really closely-guarded trick. Even Michael Cole and Corey Graves were kept in the dark, so their surprise throughout the broadcast was authentic.

WWE production assistants rushed to get a chair and a headset for McAfee so he might sign up with Cole and Graves. There is no word on whether his look was a one-off for the Rumble, or if this suggests a go back to the weekly SmackDown commentary group.

McAfee stepped far from WWE to be a part of ESPN’s College GameDay team. Those obligations have actually concluded, releasing McAfee for a WWE return.
