Jon Stewart to host WWE SummerSlam

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Jon Stewart's next stop after his 16-year run on The Daily Show includes hosting WWE's flagship August event, SummerSlam.

USA Today first reported the news that Stewart, a longtime fan of pro-wrestling, had signed on to host the major sports entertainment event months after starting a "feud" with now current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.

Back in March, the TV host taunted Rollins online prompting the champ to confront Stewart on The Daily Show. The feud culminated on USA's Monday Night Raw where Stewart was able to escape Rollins with a well placed kick.

Emanating from the sold-old out Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the four-hour event will feature main matches featuring John Cena, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and even Arrow star Stephen Amell as he partakes in a tag-team match with Adrian Neville vs. Stardust and King Barrett.

WWE SummerSlam will air Sunday at 7 p.m. on the WWE Network.
