'WWE SummerSlam' 2015 News: Jon Stewart to Host Upcoming Event
Jon Stewart found a new gig and it looks really familiar.
According to Yahoo, World Wrestling Entertainment announced that Jon Stewart will be the host of the upcoming WWE "SummerSlam" event from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York this Sunday.
A huge WWE fan, Stewart was recently in a feud with WWE World Heavyweight champion Seth Rollins. On March 9, Stewart made an appearance on WWE's flagship show "Monday Night Raw" where he confronted Rollins and eventually kicked Rollins in the private parts. You can check out the video of the incident below:
It is not known what role Stewart will play during the four-hour extravaganza but it might include a segment with Rollins. Rollins is scheduled to face United States champion John Cena in a "Champion vs Champion" match this Sunday.
"SummerSlam" will take place at the Barclays Center. It is the first time the event will be held outside of Los Angeles in eight years. It will also be the first time "Summerslam" will be four hours long.
This is Stewart's first major gig after retiring from "The Daily Show" last month.
