Pat McAfee to return on next week’s WWE Raw

Pat McAfee will return on next week’s Raw.

When Raw started on Monday, Michael Cole announced that McAfee would return on next week’s show in Ottawa, Canada. Corey Graves from the SmackDown announce team joined Cole for this week’s show.

This is the second week in a row McAfee has been gone due to the sudden death of his father-in-law, who was in the hospital battling an infection and ended up taking a turn for the worst.

The Miz took over announcing duties with Cole on last week’s Raw until it was time to take part in a match for the World Tag Team titles, leaving Cole by himself to call the action. Miz and R-Truth ended up losing the titles to Finn Balor & JD McDonagh.

After taking a hiatus from WWE last fall to join ESPN College GameDay, McAfee returned to WWE commentary full time following the Royal Rumble, where he was a surprise entrant. He joined the Raw brand as a full-time commentator along with Cole.
