Fans of “Saturday Night Live” will know comedian and author, Michael Che, for being one in every of the co-hosts of the show’s weekly news segment “Weekend Update,” a segment he has hosted alongside Colin Jost for 12 years on the time of writing. Nevertheless, wrestling fans will remember Che and Jost having a small role to play in WWE back in 2019.
Following an appearance on “WWE Raw,” the 2 men were entered into the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WWE WrestleMania 35, most won the match had it not been for Braun Strowman. Che hasn’t been seen in WWE since, but he was a recent guest on Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast, and he admitted that potentially writing for WWE can be a dream come true.
“I might love to try this, that might be like bucket list,” Che said. “That may very well be really fun. That is like a cool–I’m a fan you understand? The performers now are like, there’s some really, really cool–you understand who I really like is IYO SKY, and Rhea [Ripley], and I used to be saying Jacob [Fatu]. I really like Jacob Fatu, there’s so many like really, really fun people to look at. I really like The Vision, I really like Paul Heyman…He’s probably the greatest people I’ve ever seen on television, like he’s on the shortlist of just the people–I do not know why he is not a four-time Emmy winner. He’s so good on television, and each time he’s on, it’s like something cool or developing.”
Che is not the only comedian who has been curious about writing for WWE because the host of “Kill Tony,” Tony Hinchcliffe, has publicly stated that he was actually offered a position on the WWE writing team but turned it all the way down to proceed specializing in his comedy profession.
