Overview

  • McAfee has been off WWE Raw commentary since early June, taking a hiatus between Money in the Bank and Night of Champions.
  • On his show, he revealed fatigue from hosting a five-day-a-week sports talk program, running a 14-person media company and parenting a two-year-old.
  • WWE brought in Wade Barrett initially and has since had Corey Graves join Michael Cole for Raw’s color commentary.
  • The move divided viewers online, with some fans voicing relief at his absence and others criticizing his decision to step back.
  • McAfee indicated he may return for WWE’s Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia and has also debated doing a live show at Aaron Rodgers’ Latrobe training camp.
