Get ready to laugh your championship belts off, Cleveland! As if WWE SummerSlam wasn’t enough to turn your weekend into a high-octane wrestling bonanza, WWE has announced an added treat: Sami Zayn is bringing his comedic chops to the Agora Theatre for a special event titled “Sami Zayn & Friends Do Cleveland.” This uproarious evening of humor and storytelling will take place on Friday, August 2 at 11pm, just one day before SummerSlam rocks the city. Tickets are priced between $48 and $78, a bargain for an evening of belly laughs and unexpected surprises.
According to the official press release, the event promises a mix of comedy, variety acts, and special guests from the realms of comedy, television, and WWE. It’s Zayn’s third foray into this comedic format, following a successful gig during Money in the Bank weekend in Toronto and an earlier stint at the “Netflix is a Joke” comedy festival in May, where he was joined by none other than Johnny Knoxville, his WrestleMania 38 adversary. While there’s no word yet if Knoxville will crash this Cleveland bash, the “& Friends” part of the show is bound to bring some delightful surprises.
Zayn joins a growing list of wrestling legends who have taken to the stage to tickle funny bones. Icons like Mick Foley, Nic Nemeth, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper have all ventured into comedy, with The Undertaker’s “1 deadMan Show” also scheduled in Cleveland on August 3, just hours before the SummerSlam main event.
As for SummerSlam itself, Zayn is slated to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker in what promises to be a thrilling rematch from Money in the Bank. That previous encounter saw Zayn handing Breakker his first main roster pinfall loss, escalating tensions that erupted in a recent episode of WWE Raw with Breakker attacking Zayn and Ilja Dragunov.
So, if you’re in Cleveland and looking to kick off your SummerSlam weekend with a dose of laughter, don’t miss “Sami Zayn & Friends Do Cleveland.” Get ready for a night of comedy gold and wrestling revelry!
