Pat McAfee Teases Major WWE Return as #30 in the Royal Rumble Match
Pat McAfee received a tough present on Christmas last year when news broke out that he was pulled from NXT TV. This meant that the heel wouldn’t compete in the ring until further notice.
Since McAfee is in hot form and has earned praise from Hall of Famers like Stone Cold, it is clear that WWE has plans for the NFL star. However, those plans may be more imminent than we expected.

In a recent segment on the Pat McAfee Show, the Superstar teased his appearance in the Royal Rumble that is set to take place on January 31. McAfee will apparently enter as #30, which is the most advantageous number in the match.
“Is that what people are saying? I have been fasting, haven’t I? People have been noticing,” boasted McAfee. “I am in some shape!”
The former NFL punter revealed that he has been intermittently fasting to lose the extra with and get in shape.
“Yesterday I forgot to eat for two of the hours, I was off for 24 hours on for 3. Yeah, I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting, Terry crews didn’t do anything else, just the intermittent fasting and you what he looks (like),” said McAfee.
