When will Pat McAfee return to WWE RAW? All you need to know about his comeback

Pat McAfee quickly won over fans with his entertaining high-energy lines on WWE commentary. However, he hasn't been on wrestling television for a while to focus on other obligations, but it looks like he also wouldn't want to miss out on the loaded 2025 the Stamford-based promotion is planning to have.

Pat McAfee is one of many football names who switched to professional wrestling and quickly excelled in the latter. After beginning as a wrestler in 2018, he transitioned to a commentator who gets involved with the action every now and then. On August 19 this year, he announced that he would take a break from commentating to start as an analyst for ESPN's College Gameday. However, it looks like the former Indiana Colts Punter is set to return soon.

While talking to USA Sports at the Netflix Media Day, Triple H confirmed that Pat McAfee will return full-time on Monday Night RAW once the show moves to Netflix next year, January 6, 2025. It was also added that he will reunite with Michael Cole on the red brand.

The Monday show currently has Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett as commentators, while Michael Cole and Corey Graves are the commentators for Friday Night SmackDown.
