Pat McAfee's signing an extension multi-year contract with WWE has social media buzzing as both fans and employees are commenting on the deal.

Back in April of 2021, after a stint with WWE NXT, McAfee joined Michael Cole in the broadcast booth for SmackDown. Their chemistry was instantaneous, and the duo immediately became the top commentary team in WWE.

Michael Cole took to social media this afternoon to speak about McAfee's new deal and praised his partner as someone who has helped revitalize his love for what he does on a weekly basis. Tweeting out:

"After 25 years in "the booth," working with @PatMcAfeeShow is the highlight of each week. His excitement is contagious (even if he almost kicks me when standing on our table) and has helped revitalize my love for our business! @WWE, our fans, and I are lucky to have him," Michael Cole said in a tweet.
