WWE is reportedly planning to continue its working relationship with stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, despite the recent cancellation of a planned event. According to a new report from Fightful Select, the promotion is planning future collaborations with the comedian.
Sources within WWE indicated to Fightful that the relationship between the two sides is “fine.” This update comes after the topic emerged following Hinchcliffe’s multiple appearances tied to the company.
Earlier this year, the “SummerSlam Late Night” show featuring Hinchcliffe was canceled just a week before its July date, prompting speculation about the status of the partnership. However, the report notes that WWE expects to work with Hinchcliffe again.
While specific details remain unknown, the expectation is that future projects would likely be similar to the late-night programming previously attempted. WWE hosted the controversial “Roast of WrestleMania” in April following WrestleMania 41, the popularity of which initially led to the announcement of the SummerSlam show. Hinchcliffe is a known professional wrestling fan and has openly discussed his love for the sport, including during a recent appearance on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast.
