Pat McAfee blasts WWE after being removed from NXT television

Pat McAfee impressed both fans and Superstars alike with his performance at NXT TakeOver: WarGames earlier in the month.

 


 

He was removed from NXT television, which was certainly not his decision. NXT will carry on without him, but it seems he is quite upset at WWE’s decision.

He also commented on him being pulled from NXT TV on Christmas as well. McAfee did not mince words regarding his current situation on The Pat McAfee show recently.

“Hey Benny Butz, get off my ass, dude. I tried to get some sun, son, but Indiana doesn’t have any for like five or six months, what do you want from me? I’m super caucasian, I become red easily. I have a tanning bed in my house, but I got third-degree burns from the first time I laid on it. My entire body looked like a goddamn zebra for six months. I can’t use it, so I use the spray tan. My first match, NXT TakeOver 30 against Adam Cole, I made some rookie mistakes and I should have been undefeated after that match. Maybe I got too dark of a spray tan. I didn’t go to my spray tan machine, I went to another one down in Florida and maybe that one was cooked a little too much. Maybe, when I was sweating, it was falling onto the canvas. Maybe everything that guy is saying is close to accurate, but that doesn’t mean I should have to read on the internet, all day Christmas, that NXT has just written me off of television for the rest of my life. F*ck you, Benny Butz!”

It was previously reported that McAfee was removed from NXT since they did not want to depend on him too much.
