WWE announces ‘special guest correspondents’ for WrestleMania
During their appearance on this week’s Raw, it was announced that Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update hosts will also be playing a role at WrestleMania 35.
SNL’s Michael Che and Colin Jost appeared in a backstage segment with Stephanie McMahon on tonight’s show. She announced that Che and Jost will be “special guest correspondents” for WrestleMania. Jost was booed for putting on a New York Mets hat in Philadelphia. He also made a joke about Philly on this weekend’s SNL.
Che and Jost then appeared in another backstage segment later on Raw. The story was Che telling Jost that he needs to take this seriously. Jost said he knows WWE and is up to date, mentioning The Bushwhackers, Koko B. Ware, Razor Ramon, and The Rock. Jost said they work in live TV and have already seen everything, which led to them running into EC3, Titus O’Neil, and No Way Jose.
WrestleMania 35 is taking place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on April 7.
