Why was Pat McAfee replaced on WWE RAW? Exploring crucial motive

The weekly iteration of WWE RAW is always opened by commentators Pat McAfee and Michael Cole. Notably, however, McAfee wasn’t holding fort alongside Cole on the June 24, 2024 episode of Monday Night RAW. Instead, one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champs, The Miz, was doing commentary in his place.

The absence of the 37-year-old worried the WWE Universe, and fans wondered where McAfee was. Especially when he was at the Pat McAfee Show hours before RAW went on the air. On top of it, Michael Cole is just carrying on the commentary without mentioning the absence of his partner at all.

WWE management has also been quiet on the matter. However, the reason behind the commentator’s absence could be lurking on RAW. In fact, McAfee was recently paid a virtual visit by The Wyatt Sicks, who had a threatening message for him on PMS live.

The 37-year-old was hosting WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H on his show when the interference happened. A scrambling noise appeared for a brief moment on the stream, with the message “YOU LIED” being displayed. Perhaps this was a sign by the eerie faction that they were going to strike soon.

When The Wyatt Sicks foreshadowed an attack on Pat McAfee

The Wyatt Sicks made their debut on Monday Night RAW last week and left a trail of destruction behind them. This included neutralizing Chad Gable with a bloody concussion in the backstage premises. Apparently, Uncle Howdy had already warned the Olympian that he was coming after him via several clues.

Now, it seems that The Wyatt Sicks have made their next move after foreshadowing their attack on Pat McAfee. Several people were of the opinion that Triple H was the target of Uncle Howdy, as it would help him take over WWE. But today’s episode may have provided clarity on who the eerie faction is really aiming for. It will be interesting to see if McAfee comes out of this mess unharmed.
