Tony Hinchcliffe, the boundary-pushing stand-up comedian with a growing reputation among wrestling fans, is set to return to the WWE stage for a one-of-a-kind event: WWE Late Night during SummerSlam weekend. The show is scheduled for 11 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, August 2, at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ.
Unlike WWE’s traditional televised spectacles, this exclusive, in-person event promises a night of raw, unfiltered comedy, surprise guests, and a unique crossover between the worlds of stand-up and sports entertainment.
A Familiar Face Returns
Hinchcliffe isn’t a stranger to the WWE universe. He previously made headlines hosting the WrestleMania roast, where his sharp-tongued jokes generated a lot of heat on social media.
According to WWE, the show will feature “top comics and WWE Superstars,” all curated by Hinchcliffe, who is best known for his hit podcast and live show, Kill Tony. WWE describes the event as an “unforgettable night of laughs and huge surprises,” with a lineup of comedians, entertainers, and wrestling personalities yet to be announced.
