Earlier this week WWE made a huge announcement when it was confirmed that the Wrestlepalooza PLE will air live on ESPN on Saturday, September 20th. The show is set to emanate from Indianapolis, IN and Triple H revealed during an interview with ESPN Sportscenter that Pat McAfee will be making his return at the event.
“Well, the thing is that’s great about it, and thanks for having me here, is it’s like getting Christmas early now, right? The whole thing starts now. You know, nobody presents big events bigger or creates big events bigger than the WWE, and nobody presents them to fans better than ESPN. So, this is the perfect partnership. Yes, starting early September 20th, Wrestlepalooza in the home of the one and the only Pat McAfee, who’s like family to us.”
“You know, Pat will be there. He’s going to light the place up. It’s going to be exciting. Indianapolis, we were just there for the Royal Rumble, 70,000 fans there. It was incredible, so we’re looking forward to being back there. And this whole thing starts there, where, as you mentioned, you’re going to get to see John Cena’s last time in Indianapolis with a big match. You’re going to get to see all the stars, Seth Rollins, the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch, Drew McIntyre, they’re all going to be there.”
Earlier this year Pat McAfee joined the WWE Raw announce team alongside Michael Cole on Monday nights. McAfee had been working with WWE consistently in the months that followed, but he has not appeared on WWE programming since Money in the Bank. He later confirmed that he had to step away from his duties as a WWE commentator due to being burnt out.
