After it was revealed that Pat McAfee was going to miss Monday Night Raw for the CFP National Championship, WWE has officially announced his replacement.

Pat McAfee is already taking time off from his WWE RAW commentary duties. McAfee returned to WWE last month as a surprise commentator for Saturday Night’s Main Event. He followed that up by returning to RAW Netflix premiere on January 6 alongside Michael Cole.

Former WWE Superstar James Ellsworth believes Pat McAfee could enter the Men's Royal Rumble this year, which could bring back a major 40-year-old star to the squared circle.

When Quinyon Mitchell attempted a Pedigree so ugly that even Paul “Triple H” Levesque himself had to comment on it during the Philadelphia Eagles Wild Card Round win over the Green Bay Packers, fans had to know Pat McAfee would get into it on Monday Night RAW.

Pat McAfee was absent from Raw because he was in Atlanta for the College Football national championship game. The schedule conflict meant that WWE viewers saved their eardrums a bit and got to enjoy the more learned commentary of Barrett for the evening, with Wade apparently pulling double duty this week.
