Monday Night Raw's move to Netflix has led to some major changes to the biggest WWE brand.
One of these changes was the return of Pat McAfee to the announce desk alongside Michael Cole.

While this has led to some controversy surrounding the position, fans still remain excited for McAfee to bring his trademark energy to sports entertainment.
That being said, it looks like McAfee could already be missing a day.
According to a recent press release from ESPN, McAfee is set to host the CFP National Championship game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
"Returning in 2025, the fan-favorite Field Pass will lead the MegaCast offerings from this year's National Championship on ESPN2," the press release read. "'Field Pass with The Pat McAfee Show' will offer entertaining, free-flowing commentary of the CFP National Championship Game, anchored by Pat McAfee, who will roam the sidelines of Mercedes-Benz Stadium."
Pat McAfee appears set to miss WWE Raw in Dallas, with McAfee confirmed for Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship in Atlanta.
Per ESPN:

"McAfee will call the action from the unique vantage point, joined by AJ Hawk, Darius Butler, Connor Campbell, Ty Schmit, and Tone Digs, as well as a rotation of ESPN analysts, notable personalities, and celebrities throughout the game."
The CFP National Championship is set to take place on Jan. 20 at 7:30 pm ET in Atlanta, GA. The problem? Raw is scheduled on that same day at 8:00 pm ET in Dallas, TX.

Needless to say, it looks like McAfee won't be announcing a highly-anticipated fight between Drew McIntyre and Seth 'Freakin' Rollins. However, WWE hasn't made a statement regarding who will replace the former Indianapolis Colts punter.
Normally, the assumption would be that Corey Graves would cover for McAfee, but he has recently been missing from WWE programming after posting his frustrations with being moved to NXT on social media.

Since then, he was absent for a taping of NXT and was replaced on WWE Speed by Vic Joseph.
This puts WWE in an interesting position for this upcoming Monday. Only time will tell how they adapt to the situation.
