McAfee is no stranger to commentary either. He has guest commentated several times on NXT, especially TakeOvers. The ‘Boomstick‘ will be a regular on the blue brand starting today. However, this won’t be the first time he will be commentating on SmackDown.
McAfee joined the SmackDown commentary for the first time on the 1st November 2019 edition when NXT invaded the blue brand in the build to Survivor Series. But he represented the black and gold brand at the time. This time, it’s a different ballgame. This time, he’s in the team officially!
We already know good McAfee is on the mic. Not just his show, but his promos on NXT have been absolute fire! Not to forget his immaculate wrestling skills. McAfee can easily work a SummerSlam or Survivor Series program as a wrestler too just in case WWE wants that.
