Colin Jost & Michael Che to enter the Andre the Giant battle royal

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The hosts of Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update segment will be in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

It started when Alexa Bliss brought out Braun Strowman for the latest edition of A Moment of Bliss. After bringing out Braun, she introduced the special correspondents for WrestleMania 35, Colin Jost and Michael Che. They were live via satellite at the Saturday Night Live stage in New York City.

The three exchanged words, with Jost demanding that Strowman pay for the car he had totaled. He also wanted an autograph from his favorite wrestler, Brock Lesnar. Strowman eventually suggested that Jost enter the battle royal. Jost didn’t seem to like that idea, but Che accepted the offer on his behalf. Jost then said Che would be part of the match as well.

Strowman asked Bliss, the host of WrestleMania, if she could make it happen. She agreed, setting the stage for an eventual showdown.

The SNL cast members, particularly Jost, have been a thorn on Strowman’s side in recent weeks. He and and Braun had their first confrontation after Jost asked Strowman if that they did in the ring was real. The following week, Strowman destroyed a car Jost sent that came with a condescending apology.

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.

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Two members of the Saturday Night Live cast will be appearing on tomorrow’s episode of Raw.

WWE announced today that SNL’s Michael Che and Colin Jost will be “special guests” on Monday’s Raw. The episode is taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Che and Jost are the current hosts of the Weekend Update news segment on SNL.

Tomorrow’s Raw is the go-home show for Fastlane. WWE will follow up on Roman Reigns returning and announcing that his leukemia is in remission. Reigns’ match for Fastlane is expected to be made official on tomorrow’s episode.

Raw will also feature the fallout from last week’s show-closing angle where Batista attacked Ric Flair and asked if he has Triple H’s attention now.

WWE has yet to confirm any matches for tomorrow’s Raw, but Charlotte Flair appearing has been announced. The storyline is that Charlotte wants to be crowned champion after Ronda Rousey left the Raw Women’s Championship in the ring last week. Rousey demanded that Vince McMahon adds Becky Lynch to the Raw Women’s title match at WrestleMania and makes it Rousey vs. Charlotte vs. Lynch.
