WWE announces ‘The Roast of WrestleMania’ with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe

WWE has officially added a new event to the schedule for WrestleMania 41 week in Las Vegas.

Closing out the weekend, “The Roast of WrestleMania Featuring Tony Hinchcliffe & Friends” will take place after WrestleMania 41 night two on Sunday, April 20. WWE and the Fontainebleau hotel are partnering together for the comedy show, which is being held at the BleauLive Theater inside of the hotel.

The roast will not be televised. It has a start time of 10 p.m. Pacific and is set to feature Hinchcliffe, other comedians who have yet to be announced, and special WWE guests. Sami Zayn, The Miz, Braun Strowman, and Paul Heyman are among those who will be appearing.

“Hinchcliffe, the internationally renowned comedian, one of the top roasters in the world and the mastermind behind Kill Tony, will bring together top comics and entertainers for an unforgettable night of laughs and huge surprises,” a press release hyped. “Set to join Hinchcliffe are WWE Superstars Sami Zayn, The Miz, Braun Strowman and Paul Heyman, and more.”

WWE is promoting the roast as a closed-doors event that could go off the rails.

“That could go off the rails in a really bad way,” Paul “Triple H” Levesque said in the announcement video. “Let’s do it!”

Tickets for the roast are going on sale to the general public this Friday (March 21) at 11 a.m. Eastern/8 a.m. Pacific. The pre-sale begins this Wednesday (March 19) at that same time.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas has been named the official hotel of WrestleMania 41 and will also host the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, an Undertaker one-man show, and the post-WrestleMania episode of NXT.
