WWE fans are furious at Pat McAfee and want WWE to “fire” the popular host





It all started on 26th February when on his popular show, The Pat McAfee Show , Pat discussed an unverified gossip on the internet about a couple at the University of Mississippi. While Mary Kate Cornett’s name was not mentioned on the show, students linked her to the gossip, and she was heavily bullied for it.

Recently, Mary Kate Cornett spoke to The Athletic about the harassment she had to face and the trauma she had to go through for it and now, WWE fans are furious at Pat McAfee.





A fan took to X and wrote, “I'm only speaking on quality of work but Pat McAfee is one of the worst personalities to ever work for WWE. That's a lot of ground. Wretched.”

Another fan wrote, “Would love for this person to sue the sh*t out of Pat McAfee. He is the worst and ruins everything he touches. @WWE please fire him.”





A third fan noted, “Pat McAfee’s show should be suspended and his tenure on WWE Raw should be halted until this process is done. Absolutely gross behavior from him.”

Another user wrote, “WWE’s @PatMcAfeeShow sexually objectified and parroted outrageous lies about a college student to his masses; now she and her family are being harassed by trolls daily. This is the textbook definition of sexual harassment, @WWE is this what you stand for?”
