Pat McAfee started doing commentary for the SmackDown brand in April of 2021, and since then he’s made a big impression on the WWE Universe. It seems that WWE wants to keep him around as the company confirmed today that McAfee signed a multiyear extension when they posted the following announcement:
“WWE today announced that Pat McAfee has signed a multiyear extension with WWE. Since April 2021, McAfee has served as an analyst, alongside Michael Cole, for Friday Night SmackDown at 8 pm ET live each week on FOX. The new pact will see McAfee entertaining the WWE Universe for years to come. Earlier this year, McAfee delighted fans and lit up social media with a WrestleMania debut for the ages at AT&T Stadium in Dallas when battling Theory, Mr. McMahon, and even getting stunned by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.”
Following the announcement WrestleVotes shared an update noting that McAfee’s extension was signed a few weeks back, and that everyone involved was thrilled. It’s being said that WWE knows what they have with Pat McAfee and they were steadfast to keep him around.
