Pat McAfee Confirms He’s Completely Out Of The Wrestling Business
Pat McAfee is done with wrestling.
On Instagram, McAfee’s wife posted a photo of her husband sitting on a bed, wearing a neck brace, and sipping his drink of choice. She captioned the photo, “The first morning since 2017 that babe is completely out of the wrestling business. Thanks Jelly Roll.”
McAfee stated before WrestleMania 42 that if Randy Orton did not win the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, that he would leave the wrestling business forever. Despite McAfee’s best effort, Orton was not victorious.
Pat McAfee was put through a table by Jelly Roll and took an RKO from Orton.
