WWE will hold a Roast of WrestleMania following WrestleMania 41, according to Dave Meltzer’s F4WOnline Daily Update. The comedy event is scheduled for April 20 at the BleauLive Theater inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort.
The roast will differ from traditional WWE productions, adopting a style more aligned with Tony Hinchcliffe’s brand of comedy. Hinchcliffe, known for his Kill Tony podcast, will feature prominently in the event.
Hinchcliffe signed a deal with Netflix earlier this year for three comedy specials. His involvement with WWE comes as part of the company’s growing relationship with Netflix, which recently became Raw’s global broadcast partner.
The comedian sparked significant controversy in 2024 after a performance at a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. During his set, Hinchcliffe made racist remarks about Puerto Rico, used stereotypes about Black people, and made derogatory comments about Latinos and Palestinians.
The joint event between WWE and Netflix raises questions about potential reactions from fans and WWE’s corporate partners, given Hinchcliffe’s controversial reputation.
