On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, it was announced that Pat McAfee will leave WWE, generating significant buzz among fans. Several video packages highlighting McAfee were aired during the show, making the commentator emotional about his departure. Pat even thanked Michael Cole for the support he provided during their time together at the commentary table.

However, it’s important to note that Pat McAfee's exit from WWE is not permanent; he is taking a hiatus due to his commitment to ESPN's College Gameday.

WWE has also confirmed McAfee’s return date. Michael Cole announced during RAW that the 37-year-old star will make his sensational comeback in January next year when the red brand moves to Netflix for its debut.

This means fans won’t see Pat for the rest of 2024, as he will reappear in 2025.

While the exact date of RAW’s move to Netflix in January has not been officially confirmed, the January 6, 2025 edition of the show will likely mark the debut of the red brand on the streaming platform.


To whom did Pat McAfee give special thanks during his farewell speech on a recent RAW?

One moment that fans might have missed during RAW was the 37-year-old star's farewell speech. This speech seemingly took place during a commercial break, making it an off-air moment.

During his speech, McAfee expressed his gratitude to the WWE ring crew, production crew, and make-up crew. As always, he also thanked the legendary Michael Cole for his assistance throughout his career as a commentator.

Pat has not only impressed the WWE Universe with his exceptional commentary skills but has also astonished fans every time he stepped into the squared circle. He even participated in this year's Royal Rumble match but was eliminated within seconds as he wasn’t fully prepared for it. The reaction and love Pat is receiving for his WWE exit is something many can only dream of.

It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the coming weeks and who will replace Pat McAfee as the commentator on Monday Night RAW.
