Pat McAfee misses Raw after father-in-law passes away hours before start of show

Raw commentator Pat McAfee revealed on his show yesterday that he missed Monday Night Raw because his father-in-law passed away just hours before the show.

Addressing the situation, McAfee said that after he wrapped up Monday’s episode of his show, which also had Triple H on as guest, his wife called him to tell him that her father was in bad shape at the hospital and they needed to go there.

McAfee said that his father-in-law was admitted to the hospital a few days before battling an infection but on Friday they told them that everything will be okay and was supposed to be discharged.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as doctors hoped for and he lost his battle.

“Last night was obviously a very difficult night for our family,” McAfee said. “And it was a nice reminder, thankfully my wife, her mom, with her dad, the last thing they said to him, Bob, who is a great man, was ‘I love you’ and I think this is a nice piece of perspective and a moment to tell everybody, like hey, tell your people you love them.”

The Miz replaced McAfee on commentary with Michael Cole.
