Pat McAfee Details His Surprise WWE Royal Rumble Return

Pat McAfee has actually opened on his WWE return at the Royal Rumble this previous Saturday night. As formerly reported, the return was a genuine surprise to those in the business as he was kept concealed the day of the program.

McAfee, who had gone on hiatus from WWE in September 2022 to sign up with the ESPN College Gameday group, detailed his return on his radio program today. Here are the highlights:

The return:

“There was speculation, a great deal of individuals speaking about it, a great deal of individuals believed I was going to remain in the Royal Rumble, a great deal of individuals believed I was going to exist. That was not found out up until late recently. That came together quite fast. Not that there was any bad relations, it’s simply my schedule for the last 5 months, and everybody’s schedule, specifically in the WWE, my other half is pregnant, there was no bad beef or anything, it was simply, ‘‘ I do not wish to need to train enough to enter the Royal Rumble, ‘”stated McAfee

. The initial strategies:

“They stated instantly (after I left), Hunter, Stephanie, and Nick, ‘‘ Rumble resembles the best time to resurgence,’ since that’s when individuals resurgence and it’s after college football season. I resembled, ‘‘ ideal.’ I require something to keep me fit. I get fat and I require something to keep exercising for. I attempted. Everyone saw me, I was getting after it. By week 9……. I believe I might have (done a couple minutes in the Rumble), however I do not wish to disrespect any person. There were just 29 men who came out since where the fuck was Rey Mysterio? Is he fine? There are just a lot of areas and there is a great deal of risk and shit that can take place. I informed them, possibly week 13 or 14 of the season, ‘‘ Hey, wish to let you understand, the season has actually been a grind with Gameday being an additional work day, I’m not going to have the ability to remain in sufficient shape for Rumble. I do not wish to disrespect Royal Rumble. I’m simply letting you understand where I’m at today. I’m not awakening an additional hour or keep up an additional hour to get in shape or whatever is required.’ It’s one of those combinations. ‘‘ We’ll talk later on, all great.’ It was the objective, Royal Rumble was the objective, I wasn’t able to stay up to date with it since Gameday getting dropped in and what that schedule ended up being,” he stated.
