McAfee was outshining the actual performers. WWE can't go for that

[MerryOlSoulGigglesmith]

Because he has his own show that wwe can't micro manage

[CrackaPackify]

I like how Vince always has that awful lip gloss on in Travis' artwork now ha ha

[brianroot]

He got himself over, that's a big no no in WWE

[patrickbooth]

Pat runs his own company independent of WWE. He is not a full time WWE employee.

Not use him til the spring? You mean like when the super bowl and NFL draft are over? Like when his show is in a lull with no football going on?

[CoolCATs]

Probably just a work. Take him off TV, have him talk about it. Then have him, his faction & UE show up on RAW sometime between now & Wrestle Mania.

[timmylong]

This is a total work, Pat loves kayfabe..

[SAINTxCHEESE]

Pat has his own show to run. Maybe he is back before Wrestlemania/NXT Takeover.

[aegonthedragon]

It’s probably for kayfabe since he has his own show. He’ll be back, guy is a hit.

[Bearwolf]

They know he's the best thing on their program and he outshines everyone else!

[travisburnett]

The best heel/promo in the damn company gets pulled from TV. I'm convinced Vince and company have lost their damn minds

[RicGagger]

I promise that if he’s “being removed from television” it’s a part of a storyline to put him on RAW to have him help save the program. No way in hell WWE would get rid of one of the best heels in the biz right now.

[carolowler]

Probably going to pop up in the rumble then.

[JDotWill]

They’re treating him like NXT’s version of Brock

[TheRipperTheColtsRipper]

I bet it has to do with them wanting him in front of crowds to get epic heat. That or Vince wants him on the main roster.

[RationalGaze.BingChillin]

Wait what?!!!! that sucks. The only person who is a better heel right now is Jake Paul

[Official_WaltClyde]

NXT wants to keep Pat special like Brock Lesnar. Only bring him back for special storylines. I understand it.

[jimmyv]

Because he was over and in WWE you can't be more over than the brand.

[JoCoOutlaw]

Haven't watched wrestling at all since Attitude Era ended in 2002. That being said..saw some Adam Cole guy on Pat McAfee show. I ALMOST couldn't tell if it was a work or a shoot! So I stayed tune with it and DAMN. Pat can cut a damn good promo..bet he has better mic skills than half the current roster!

[arcaderacer]

He doesn’t need to work, he can sit home and collect that Antivirus money
