Stick Around: WWE Announces Long Term Contract Extension For Popular Broadcaster

Stick around for a bit. Commentary is one of the most important parts of any wrestling show. The broadcasting team is tasked with telling the fans what they are seeing and why it is important. They help guide the fans in the right direction and give them the stories that the promotion wants to present. Having the correct voices out there is very important, and now WWE has locked up one of its more prominent voices for a good while.

WWE has announced that SmackDown broadcaster Pat McAfee has signed a multi-year extension with WWE that will keep him with the company for the forseeable future. There is no word on how long the extension will last. McAfee has been broadcasting SmackDown since April 2021 and has also wrestled, defeating Theory at WrestleMania 38. He is scheduled to face Happy Corbin at Summerslam.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that makes all the sense in the world for WWE as you would want to keep someone as good as McAfee around. Ignoring McAfee’s following from his podcast, he is also a great broadcaster who sounds like he is having a great time every single week. Sometimes that is the best thing you can have on a show and that is the case with McAfee.

What do you think of the extension? Who is the best broadcasting team today? Let us know in the comments below.

Thomas Hall has been a wrestling fan for over thirty years and has seen over 60,000 wrestling matches. He has also been a wrestling reviewer since 2009 with over 6,000 full shows covered. You can find his work at kbwrestlingreviews.com, or check out his- Amazon author page with 30 wrestling books.
