Pat McAfee Returns to WWE Raw as Full-Time Commentator

The ESPN personality will rejoin WWE alongside Michael Cole as Monday Night Raw debuts on Netflix in January.

Pat McAfee will resume his role as a full-time color commentator for WWE Monday Night Raw starting in January 2025.
McAfee will reunite with play-by-play announcer Michael Cole, with whom he has previously formed a popular commentary duo.
WWE's Monday Night Raw will debut on Netflix on January 6, marking a significant shift for the wrestling brand under a $5 billion, ten-year deal with the streaming platform.
McAfee had stepped away from WWE earlier in 2024 to focus on his ESPN College GameDay responsibilities but is now returning as the football season winds down.
The move is part of WWE's broader strategy to expand its audience, with Netflix aiming to strengthen its live sports entertainment offerings.
