Former NFL Star Pat McAfee Makes a Concerning Statement: “I Assume I’m Going To Die Young”

WWE SmackDown commentator and former NFL football punter Pat McAfee dropped a massive bomb. For the last several weeks, Pat McAfee has been a fan favorite. Apart from being a color commentator on the blue brand, he is also known for hosting the Pat McAfee show.

Last month, the former NFL punter invited WWE owner Vince McMahon on his show. It was a big deal for McAfee, as this was Mr. McMahon’s first live interview in almost 20 years.

The night turned even more special for McAfee when the WWE owner promised him a golden opportunity.

Vince McMahon told McAfee that he would have a match at this year’s WrestleMania. Mr. McMahon awarded McAfee a match against WWE Raw Superstar Austin Theory at the Biggest Show of the Year.

Why would Pat McAfee mention he would die young?

We are just two days away from The Most Stupendous WrestleMania. But, before his battle against the 24-year-old Theory, McAfee made a shocking statement. During the latest episode of Busted Open, McAfee was asked if he would have his WrestleMania moment.

“Yes! I’m going to take in the moment. And I’m 34-years-old, and although I don’t know how people feel about aging. What do they think about it? For me, I’m in a very comfortable place in my place right now. I get to do so many awesome things, whether it’s college game day or calling games and the fact that I’m a part of the WWE weekly,” Pat mentioned.

The SmackDown commentator will have the biggest match of his career at the Showcase of the Immortals. During the interview, McAfee also stated that he will enjoy his time at Mania, just like he always does.

McAfee added, “Just like every show I do, every appearance I make, every time I speak, I’m trying to enjoy everything. Because I assume I’m going to die young, and I’m going to try to enjoy it all. But I think that’s a big part of my entire thing. I’m having a good time, and once I stop doing that, it’s probably time for me to move on.”

The commentator does not know if he will ever have a WrestleMania match again, so he will perform inside the squared circle like there’s no tomorrow.

What are the WrestleMania plans for the SmackDown commentator?

While many WWE superstars struggle to be on the match card of WrestleMania, the SmackDown commentator has a match against Austin Theory.

For the last few weeks, Pat McAfee and Austin Theory have gone into back-and-forth altercations. Furthermore, co-host and former WWE Superstar Bubba Ray Dudley asked McAfee about his WrestleMania plans on the Busted Open episode.

McAfee said, “I’m planning full commitment to doing some awesome stuff. If this is going to be the last time I step foot in a ring, I’m going to make sure that no stone is left unturned.”

The SmackDown commentator wants have to have a battle of his life. McAfee thinks this will be his first and last WrestleMania match. And if that is the case, Pat McAfee plans to leave Austin Theory in the dust immortalize his Mania moment.
