Pat McAfee’s Wife Confirms He’s Done With Wrestling After WrestleMania 42

Pat McAfee didn’t just take a beating at WrestleMania 42 — he may have walked away from wrestling altogether, and his wife is the one who said it.

After getting wiped out during the main event involving Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, McAfee was later seen partying at a 50 Cent concert with Tyrese Haliburton, still rocking a neck brace. That raised eyebrows on its own — but what came next made things a lot more serious.

On April 19, 2026, Pat McAfee’s wife took to her Instagram story and revealed her husband’s future in wrestling, as her message didn’t leave much room for interpretation about his future, confirming he is done with the business.

“First morning since 2017 babe is completely out of the wrestling business, thanks Jelly Roll”

That post comes after McAfee got hit with a Cross Rhodes, smashed through a table by Jelly Roll, stretchered out, then returned only to get dropped again with an RKO. It was chaotic, it was physical — and now it looks like it may have been his sendoff.

The stipulation tied to the match already made it clear that McAfee wouldn’t be seen or heard from again after WrestleMania. Now, with his wife saying he’s done and McAfee himself sharing it, it’s being treated as more than just storyline fallout. McAfee has been a regular part of WWE since 2017, jumping between commentary and in-ring appearances — but based on what his wife just said, that run might be over.

Do you think this is actually the end for Pat McAfee in WWE, or is this just another twist before a comeback? Let me know your thoughts.
