Jon Stewart hasn’t been gone from The Daily Show for very long, but he’s already planning to be on TV again. Stewart has gotten the nod to host Summerslam at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Sunday, August 23, according to USA Today. He better watch his back though; WWE champion Seth Rollins will be lurking about, and he isn’t very fond of the funny man.
It all started when Rollins ripped on Stewart’s time on The Daily Show, and claimed if he became host the show would become “watchable.” It was met with boos from the crowd.

Stewart responded harshly, calling him a “toadie” for The Authority, a villainous WWE faction headed up by Triple H. Referring to himself as 160 pounds of dynamite, Stewart vowed Rollins would regret the day he “messed with the wrong guy.”

Rollins returned fire by interrupting Stewart’s “Moment of Zen.” He called himself “all powerful,” and while Stewart lobbed a ton of empty threats, Rollins crept up behind him like a real heel.
The feud concluded with Stewart’s appearance on Raw—a guest spot on “The Daily Show with Seth Rollins.”
Stewart got in a few killer zings—the crack about Rollins looking like a “SWAT team stripper with Lady Gaga hair” was classic, but not as impactful as the swift kick he delivered to Rollins’ manhood. The assist from Randy Orton was clutch, but Stewart was the star.
The rivalry resumes this Sunday.
