Pat McAfee participates in many sporting events, including MLB All Star Weekend, which means WWE might need a substitute for him. There are several potential replacements, ranging from current commentators to Hall of Famers who could become iconic figures on WWE Raw, especially as the college football season advances. Here are six candidates to fill Pat McAfee’s role in WWE commentary.
6. Wade Barrett
Wade Barrett has impressed during his tenure on WWE Smackdown commentary alongside Joe Tessitore and shows great chemistry with Michael Cole. When teamed with Cole, Barrett can adopt a villainous commentary style, balancing out Tessitore’s play-by-play and giving voice to the heels and their supporters. Pat McAfee’s energetic presence allowed Barrett to amplify his heel persona and add an entertaining layer to broadcasts. With real in-ring experience and sharp analysis, Wade Barrett is a reliable broadcasting partner for Michael Cole.
Fan Take: This development is exciting for WWE fans as it highlights fresh possibilities in commentary that could bring new energy and perspectives. Introducing someone like Wade Barrett offers a blend of expertise and charisma that could elevate WWE programming and deepen fan engagement.
