He was last seen at WrestleMania 42 where he was in Randy Orton’s corner when he failed to defeat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title. After that, he stepped away and just recently he doubled down saying that “he will never be back”, after what transpired in April.

However, despite him saying that, his profile is still up on the page of active wrestlers on the official website. With the company yet to make the change, it might well be possible that Pat McAfee is playing along with his storyline and may be back in the not too distant future.

Dave Meltzer has a theory behind Pat McAfee’s WWE exit

There were a lot of plans in store for Pat McAfee during this past WrestleMania season. WWE had initially planned a tag team match where Randy Orton and Pat McAfee teamed up to take on Cody Rhodes and Jelly Roll at WWE Backlash.

However, that did not take place as Pat made his swift exit after WrestleMania. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer has given his theory behind what went wrong and cited the negative crowd reaction as one of the reasons. Speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio, he said:

“I don’t know the exact reason McAfee pulled out. There could have been many different reasons, but the reason that was believed was, in fact, the reaction. I was told that the belief was due to the reaction that he pulled out. It wasn’t like anything else.”

That is a tangible reason and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Pat McAfee.
