“Need Jason Kelce”: Pat McAfee Takes Over Monday Night Raw Hosting Duties, Sparks Outrage Among NFL Fans

Jason Kelce is unfolding his fun side after retirement. He recently joined former Eagles teammate Lane Johnson for a surprise WWE appearance. Just as Dominik Mysterio was about to grab a chair, Kelce and Johnson jumped into the ring sporting Rey Mysterio masks, showing their support for the wrestling legend. The Eagles champs even helped Rey win by jumping into a ringside fight. 

The retired Eagles center is quite a well-known WWE fan, and his surprise cameo further shows off his passion for the sport. His energy even has fans convinced he’d make an amazing commentator. This excitement comes partly from some fans disliking Pat McAfee as a WWE commentator. 

Pat McAfee returns to “Raw” commentary

Pat McAfee is a multi-talented star, excelling as a punter and commentator. A couple of years back, his time on WWE SmackDown showed his bold and outspoken personality to the WWE audience. However, McAfee’s unfiltered style can be troublesome at times. Despite that, WWE has given Pat McAfee hosting duties on Monday Night Raw. The post on X said he “will be part of the commentating team going forward on Monday Night.”

Not everyone’s happy with McAfee taking over Raw. After Jason Kelce’s energetic WWE cameo, some fans think Kelce would be a better fit for hosting. They believe Kelce’s passion for the sport would translate better than McAfee’s commentary style.

Fans want the retired Jason Kelce on the mic

Jason Kelce’s surprise WrestleMania cameo ignited a debate about his potential future in the WWE. Some fans loved his energy, suggesting he could be the next big thing in WWE. One unhappy with Pat McAfee’s hosting style wrote, “Need Jason Kelce to be the new Pat McAfee and take over the sports broadcasting/WWE corner.” Others went further, with one fan posting, “Raw just got worse. He’s aggravating on commentary.”
