Given how many times he’s been shifted I’m surprised this is the hill he chooses to die on

You'd think Coach would have more of an understanding since Pat is current getting an ESPN paycheck and Coach doesn't anymore

If this is 100% a shoot it's surprising. McAfee is a huge star outside of WWE in the US, who has been well regarded during his previous stints on commentary in WWE. Of course they'd put him on Raw on Netflix. That's not mentioning the fact that they don't need as much of a censor on him given the lack of FCC.

They've teased tension between the 2 on air before, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it's a work and leading to a match at some point. Also I feel like Graves has been on McAfee show before. May be mistaken. They're also both Pittsburgh guys.

I'm still firmly in the "it's a work" camp until proven otherwise but if it's not, I would wager he's more annoyed he got bumped to NXT as opposed to a three man booth on SmackDown or even replacing Wade due to seniority.

I also imagine being demoted from 2nd play by play guy and doing VERY good at that job to 4th color commentator plays a factor on top of just "getting sent to NXT" or "being replaced by Pat" as we've heard
