Tony Chimel (born October 11, 1961[1]) is an American former professional wrestling ring announcer.

[2] Chimel then began announcing duties for the company in 1989, working mostly televised B-Shows or non-televised house shows and filling in for Howard Finkel whenever necessary, including appearances on Raw.

This feud included Chimel being punched, being hit in the groin, and having a doughnut shoved in his mouth by Kennedy.

On the December 22, 2006 episode of SmackDown!, he announced The Boogeyman as victorious too enthusiastically and caught his attention.

[3] Chimel began announcing on WWE Superstars, and made his first appearance on the April 30, 2009 episode.

During this time, Chimel began to gain a reputation for his announcements for Edge, who had recently dubbed himself "The Rated-R Superstar".

This would become something of a running joke on WWE television, leading to Chimel making guest appearances solely to announce Edge.

He was demoted from SmackDown when former Raw announcer Lilian Garcia returned to the WWE in December 2011.

[4] On the May 14, 2014 episode of Main Event, Tony was attacked by Alicia Fox during her meltdown after she lost to Emma.

Chimel returned during Beth Phoenix's induction in the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame to announce her husband Edge's name.

[6][7][8] In April 2023, Chimel revealed that he was working with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) assisting with production during their Orlando tapings.
