Pat McAfee Says WWE Is A Reason He Retired From The NFL Early
Pat is excited to see what’s next for him in WWE.
Retired NFL Punter Pat McAfee has transitioned from the gridiron to Barstool Sports to hosting his own show on Sirius XM Radio. The human swiss-army knife has also dipped his fingers into the land of sports-entertainment as McAfee has appeared on two NXT TakeOver pre-show panels with the most recent being two weeks ago at NXT TakeOver: Chicago II.
McAfee spoke with CBS 4 in Indianapolis to discuss being a part of the Colts’ Kickoff concert on September 1st and during the interview McAfee went over his working relationship with WWE’s NXT brand. Pat stated that it is a very interesting endeavor and it is going to be fun to see what happens next as he continues his working relationship with the company.
“I would like you to know that, that is a very interesting endeavor,” McAfee said. “It is one of the reasons why I retired whenever I was younger, I’ve always been a fan of the WWE sports entertainment and the fact now I have a working relationship with them is very beautiful–that one is going to be a fun one to see what happens.”
Speaking of NXT, tapings for future episodes of NXT TV were taped last Thursday. To view the spoiler notes from the tapings, click here.
