‘Kill Tony: WrestleMania’ special to air on Netflix
Fans not attending WrestleMania 42 weekend will still have the chance to watch Tony Hinchcliffe’s WWE-themed comedy special.
It was announced via Variety today that “Kill Tony: WrestleMania” will stream on Netflix. The special will not air live but will be available to watch starting on Monday, April 20, which is the same day Netflix is broadcasting the post-WrestleMania 42 episode of Raw.
This is the second straight year that Hinchcliffe — who is a big pro wrestling fan — and WWE have partnered together for a WrestleMania weekend event. When Hinchcliffe’s “Roast of WrestleMania” happened in 2025, it was billed as a closed-doors event that would not be broadcast anywhere. Audio of the entire show did end up getting leaked online, with some of the jokes generating controversy.
“Kill Tony” is a podcast Hinchcliffe hosts where aspiring comedians get the chance to perform in front of Hinchcliffe and other comedy veterans. He and Netflix have already partnered together for multiple specials in the past.
At this WrestleMania weekend event, Hinchcliffe will be joined by current WWE stars and legends, other comedians, and surprise guests. It’s being held at Dolby Live at Park MGM on Saturday, April 18 after the first night of WrestleMania 42.
WWE wrote about the event:
- KILL TONY, known for its unpredictable format, rising comedic talents and no-holds-barred humor, will feature a mix of WWE Superstars and Legends, established comedians and surprise celebrity guests, while blending rapid-fire standup sets from aspiring comedians with sharp and often brutal feedback from Hinchcliffe and his panel of guests.
