Tony Hinchcliffe at SummerSlam 2025 is drawing attention as WWE announced the insult comic’s return to host a late night show on August 2 in New Jersey. The event, taking place at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood after SummerSlam’s first night, comes after mixed reactions to Hinchcliffe’s previous WWE appearance.
Details on the Upcoming WWE Late Night Featuring Tony Hinchcliffe
Despite some negative feedback from fans after hosting The Roast of WrestleMania in Las Vegas, Tony Hinchcliffe’s partnership with WWE appears set to continue, possibly at the urging of their collaborators like Netflix. Earlier, he also made an appearance on Raw in April. This time, the new event will coincide with WWE’s next Big 4 premium live show, with Hinchcliffe stepping in as host.

Format and Expectations for the Night
Similar to his previous WrestleMania Roast, there are currently no plans for the new WWE Late Night event to be televised or live-streamed. Previously, audio from the Las Vegas show surfaced unofficially, revealing Hinchcliffe’s sharp comedic approach. Fans will be watching closely to see which wrestling personalities become the targets of his jokes this time around, and whether any content find its way online afterward.
What the Return Signals for WWE and Fans
WWE’s decision to bring Tony Hinchcliffe back for another live collaboration highlights the company’s willingness to embrace edgy entertainment, despite divided opinions among its audience. The move could attract attention to SummerSlam weekend and keep both Hinchcliffe and WWE in headlines, especially if his appearance in Englewood generates the same level of controversy as before. Fans and industry observers alike are left wondering who will receive Hinchcliffe’s trademark verbal jabs at this much-anticipated event.
