Pat McAfee’s chair at the WWE RAW commentary table remained empty for the third straight week. During the broadcast from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, Corey Graves joined Michael Cole to call the action for the second consecutive week.
This marks the third show McAfee has missed. Two weeks ago, Wade Barrett served as the substitute commentator. While Cole mentioned on-air that McAfee had the week off, an official reason for his continued absence has not been provided by the company.
The lack of a specific explanation has led to some fan speculation that his absence could be part of an emerging storyline involving The Wyatt Sicks. However, other reports suggest his time away is due to personal reasons or other scheduling commitments, with no indications of a serious issue.
Currently, there is no official word on when McAfee is expected to return to his commentary duties.
