Pat McAfee Out of WWE, In at ESPN | Huntsville News

Pat McAfee’s WWE days are officially over — and he’s not just stepping back, he’s walking away with a bang. After his WrestleMania match supporting Randy Orton against Cody Rhodes (which Cody won), McAfee honored his promise to vanish from WWE TV. Now, he’s reportedly set to join ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” with a rumored $60M annual deal, marking a major pivot from wrestling commentary to mainstream sports media. With seven years in the WWE behind him — including iconic SmackDown color commentary alongside Michael Cole — McAfee’s exit signals the end of an era for WWE fans, while opening new doors for his energetic personality on ESPN. The wrestling world is split: some tired of his presence, others thrilled to see him thrive elsewhere.
