Will Pat McAFee be there on Monday Night Raw?

Pat McAfee all set to return to WWE Raw on Netflix.

Wrestlers and commentators have a give-and-take relationship in WWE, but many times, one or the other crosses the fine line that puts them face to face. WWE history is laced with such occurrences, and one of them happened recently on Raw after WrestleMania. Frustrated with his Heavyweight championship loss to Jey Uso, Gunther let it all out on the commentators.

Gunther asked Michael Cole to say anything he wanted to say, but to his face. He pushed Pat McAfee and held him in a Sleeper Hold. Pat McAfee jumped on Gunther to help his fellow commentator, but had to face the wrath of the Ring General. He held Pat McAfee in a Sleeper Hold and didn’t let go even after numerous security personnel and officials’ intervention.

Will Pat McAfee be seen commentating again at Raw on Netflix?

Yes, Pat McAfee is all set and ready to commentate again on Monday Night Raw. His face was all red when Gunther held him in a Sleeper Hold, and he was escorted out with the officials to get medical attention. Joe Tessitore replaced him to commentate for the remained of Monday on Raw. Adam Pearce informed that Pat McAfee is okay and will commentate on the upcoming Raw on Netflix.

Adam Pearce also charged Gunther with a hefty, undisclosed amount as a fine and suspended him indefinitely. He will not be present on Raw tonight and will be replaced by his SmackDown counterpart, Nick Aldis. Pat McAfee and Michael Cole were seen criticising Gunther heavily. Michael Cole even stated, it was Gunther who tapped out, not him, mocking him for giving up on Jey Uso’s Sleeper Hold at WrestleMania.

These words, along with the crowd chanting “You tapped out,” provoked Gunther to go against Michael Cole and Pat McAfee. It will be interesting to see how long Gunther’s suspension lasts.
