You never know who might return when you watch a big WWE event and on Saturday night Pat McAfee joined the commentary team for the Royal Rumble. The 30 man Royal Rumble match main evented the premium live event and Pat McAfee ended up entering the match at number 22.
Even though Pat McAfee technically entered the match he wasn’t in it for very long as he quickly eliminated himself after coming face to face with Bron Breakker and Omos.
While talking about his WWE return during a digital exclusive Pat McAfee said it was an honor to be back in front of the WWE Universe. McAfee also claimed that he wasn’t given a heads up about his inclusion in the Royal Rumble.
“All of a sudden, what, 22, I’m in the Royal Rumble? Nobody gave me a heads-up about that. I got my cowboy boots on. Michael Cole let me go in there. That was rude of him. I thought we were friends. Then there was a thing in there. Seven foot three, okay? You’re just looking up at a statue of a being. I see little Bron Breakker go like barking at me. I’m like, I’m not supposed to be in here. Why would I be in here right now? I’m not prepared for this.
Also, who would I be to take a main event at WrestleMania spot away from somebody? So I got my a** out of there. Now I went back in because I thought to myself, wait a minute, am I just gonna be a coward?
“I realized quickly, ‘Yeah, I think tonight I am.’ I went right back to the booth. And it was great. It was a great show.”
