Pat McAfee Enters and Eliminates Himself From the WWE Royal Rumble

The Men's WWE Royal Rumble match saw Pat McAfee enter and then eliminate himself.

By Timothy Adams

Commentator and podcast host Pat McAfee found himself a participant in the Royal Rumble. Unfortunately, he only lasted a couple of seconds, eliminating himself before joining the action. McAfee is known for his days as a punter in the NFL, host of the Pat McAfee Show, and panelist on ESPN's College GameDay broadcast. It's been a while since he's worked with the WWE, but Pat McAfee made a surprise appearance as the WWE Royal Rumble broadcast kicked off. The main event was the Men's Royal Rumble match, and McAfee was one of the 30 men to compete, even if his presence was brief.

Pat McAfee was ringside with Michael Cole and Corey Graves, when his music hit and he was talked into entering the ring. The massive Omos and NXT Superstar Bron Breakker were waiting for McAfee inside the ring, which is why McAfee looked apprehensive. After climbing on the turnbuckle to the ring apron twice, McAfee finally gave up and jumped to the floor outside, thereby eliminating himself and costing himself a main event at WrestleMania.
