Pat McAfee Says WWE Run May Be Over After Long Absence

TLDR

Pat McAfee addressed his WWE status during a recent Instagram Stories Q&A, stating that while he doesn't "say never" regarding a potential return, it currently "does not feel like it is something is supposed to happen" and that "the business has kind of passed me by a little bit." McAfee has been away from his regular WWE commentary role since June 2025 due to burnout and mental exhaustion, making only a brief appearance at WrestlePalooza in September 2025 while continuing his work with ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show and College GameDay.
