So I sent a question. \u2018This was said. Am I allowed to say this back?\u2019 And it took a couple hours and I got a, \u2018DO NOT,\u2019 period and then it was like, \u2018Now is not the time\u2019 or something like that. I\u2019m like, okay, okay, f*ck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Business-wise, I will listen to him and then Nick, same thing. It\u2019ll be another situation because Nick comes from the sports media world obviously. So Nick knows pretty much all of these humans that I was kind of talking to and everything like that. Nick Khan was like a ghost in this thing where I\u2019d be like, \u2018This person, what type of person are they?\u2019 That type of stuff. He would send me back like boom, boom, boom, bang, pow. Think about this. Thank you so it\u2019s like, my relationship with the WWE, I don\u2019t wanna say it\u2019s stronger than it\u2019s ever been, but actually stronger than it\u2019s ever been and we are all very much talking about how I get back into the universe because I love it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We talked about this earlier. I love it, I think I\u2019m good at it, I think I\u2019m supposed to be in there,&#8221; McAfee said of WWE and the pro wrestling business. &#8220;I understand why people are doing things. I think that\u2019s why commentating was a good spot for me alongside Michael Cole, the greatest of all time. Getting to get Stunned by Stone Cold Steve Austin, I lived out like dream after dream after dream over there. I love that place. Our relationship is very strong so I know you said you can say anything to that but actually, I think we\u2019re working. We\u2019re all trying to figure it out.&#8221; (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postwrestling.com\/2023\/06\/01\/pat-mcafee-still-in-contact-with-wwe-higher-ups-talking-about-how-to-get-him-back-in-the-universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post Wrestling<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Pat McAfee last appeared on WWE television during an impromptu match against The Miz at WrestleMania.
