WWE has cancelled the promotional event that was scheduled to take place during the Summerslam weekend in New Jersey. At WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, WWE teamed up with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe to present the “Roast of WrestleMania.” Building on that success, WWE planned a follow-up event for Summerslam Weekend called “Late Night with Tony Hinchcliffe and Friends,” set to be held at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in New Jersey. Cody Rhodes was the only WWE star advertised for this event, but it appears the event never took place. According to Pwinsider, the show was cancelled by WWE due to low ticket sales, as confirmed by a source from the venue. Cody Rhodes is set to face John Cena for the undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of Summerslam Night 2 on August 3rd.
Fan Take: This cancellation highlights WWE’s ongoing challenges in balancing live event promotions with fan interest, especially outside of their main pay-per-view shows. For fans, it signals that while WWE’s big events remain highly anticipated, additional offerings need stronger support and planning to succeed, which is crucial for the sport’s growth and fan engagement.
