Where Was Pat McAfee on WWE Raw Tonight? Exit Rumors Explained

Pat McAfee didn’t show up on WWE Raw tonight, June 9, and fans immediately started asking why. As Wade Barrett appeared alongside Michael Cole, rumors began online about McAfee’s status with the company. Is he quietly exiting the commentary desk? Here’s the breakdown.

Why Pat McAfee was not on WWE Raw tonight

As WWE Raw opened live from Phoenix, Arizona, Michael Cole addressed the situation head-on, confirming that Pat McAfee would not join him at the commentary desk. Wade Barrett, usually a SmackDown fixture, stepped in to fill the role for the night.

The show didn’t offer a specific reason for his absence, but no signs point to anything serious. Most likely, he took the night off for personal reasons or scheduling conflicts.

Is Pat McAfee leaving WWE Raw?

Despite the growing speculation, McAfee isn’t leaving WWE Raw. He remains an important part of the company’s broadcast team and is expected to return soon.

Now, while he was absent, tonight’s show didn’t skip a beat despite the change. John Cena walked out to a roaring crowd, still reeling from his tag team loss alongside Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank. Cena wasted no time in grabbing the mic and taking aim at R-Truth, who recently returned to the roster. Cena then shifted gears and started talking about his legacy.

But just as he started to dig in, the lights dimmed and “Cult of Personality” hit the speakers. CM Punk made his entrance, cutting off Cena mid-rant. He stormed into the ring and told the crowd he wasn’t there to play games. He accused Cena of becoming everything he once claimed to fight. Then came the challenge: Punk said he would decide when and where to take Cena’s WWE Championship.

Just as fans started buzzing about the match setup, Seth Rollins and his crew hit the ring.
