Pat McAfee Leaving His WWE SmackDown Commentary Role for the Time Being

As PWMania.com previously reported, Pat McAfee will be participating in the new season of “College GameDay” on ESPN as a permanent member of the show.

McAfee’s role as a commentator on WWE SmackDown will be coming to an end, for the time being, he will continue to be a part of the WWE family. 

On his Twitter account, McAfee wrote the following:

“SmackDAHN will be on hold for a little bit while I do College GameDay.. I’m still VERY much in the WWE family & will still be doing things with WWE”

In a brief statement regarding the issue, Triple H said the following:

“Pat McAfee approached us about his amazing opportunity with College GameDay. We’d never stand in Pat’s way, as he continues to architect his exceptional career. Pat will remain a member of the WWE Universe and we look forward to his return. #UpToSomethingSZN”
