FOX is pulling out all the stops to promote the first night of the WWE Draft on
Friday Night SmackDown and WWE has now announced that a number of celebrities are set to appear. Among them are
Saturday Night Live hosts and
WrestleMania competitors Michael Che and Colin Jost,
Mr. Robot star Christian Slater, and
Mad Money host Jim Cramer.
We'll also see former New York Yankee/FOX analyst Alex Rodriguez,
NFL on FOX’s Joe Buck, Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, and
Mad Money host Jim Cramer along with the following:
-
Kevin Burkhardt and Frank Thomas — FOX MLB analysts
-
Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and Tony Gonzalez — FOX NFL Sunday
-
Ronde Barber, Charles Davis, Chris Spielman and Daryl Johnston — FOX NFL analysts
-
Charissa Thompson, Michael Vick and Peter Schrager — FOX NFL Kickoff
-
Rob Stone, Brady Quinn, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart and Urban Meyer — Big Noon Kickoff
-
Joel Klatt — FOX College Football analyst
-
Dulé Hill of USA’s Psych and Suits
-
James Roday of Psych
-
Marcus Lemonis of The Profit
-
Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga of Real Housewives of New Jersey
-
Rodney Harrison and Chris Simms — Football Night in America
-
Rebecca Lowe, Robbie Mustoe and Kyle Martino — Premier League Live
With FOX and the USA Network supposedly making the choices for which Superstars head to RAW and SmackDown, we can assume that these personalities will be making key announcements throughout the night. Wrestling fans don't tend to respond to celebrity guest appearances that well, so it will be interesting seeing how this all goes down.
Still, it's hard to complain about Christian Slater appearing on a wrestling show!
