Pat McAfee, also known as Boomstick, is a man with many talents. From being an NFL player to a WWE analyst, McAfee is successful in making his mark in every field he stepped into. Currently, the Boomstick has made news again when it was confirmed that he would be joining ESPN’s College GameDay.

The fans went crazy about this news and the discussion about who will replace McAfee started on the Internet. But the new Chief Content Officer seemed unaffected by this news. Triple H wrote on his Twitter handle, “We’d never stand in Pat’s way, as he continues to architect his exceptional career.”

Triple H stated that Pat McAfee approached the WWE about his new opportunity and the management gave him the green light.
