Jon Stewart to play host to WWE SummerSlam

There will be a major return to the WWE ring on Sunday, and it isn't The Undertaker, who will face Brock Lesnar.

No, the star who will grace the four-hour, pay-per-view SummerSlam telecast is Jon Stewart.

Holy $#&@, I can't link from my phone but I just saw an article that Superfly Snuka is in jail in lieu of 100k bail for killing his girlfriend back in 1983???

There's been whispers about this for awhile now.

Seth Rollins blew out his knee in Ireland today. Will have to vacate title and there will now be a tournament held at Survivor Series to crown a new champ. Looks like Lesnar and Cena probably won't get as much time off as they hoped.

They'll incorporate Dean Ambrose's impending heel turn into this somehow....just watch...

It'll be interesting to see how that works. Ambrose seems like Austin V2.0. I don't know if they'll be able to turn him heel. He's going to be the hell people love I think. Which hey, worked for Austin back in the day.

If Vince were still alive they'd make it work.....

Austins heel turn was a disaster...I think Ambrose is firmly an anti-hero now.

No Lesnar, no Cena, no Orton, now no Rollins. Not much left.

HHH, 'Demon' Kane, Del Rio, and I'd guess Reigns/Ambrose/Shameus....

Bray Wyatt might be involved if they delay the Undertaker/Kane angle they were developing.

Samoa Joe anyone?

Meh...not exactly the WWF of 1998 roster-wise is it?

That group is not selling many tickets, most of them are over 40. Reigns and Sheamus as main eventers? Ugh.

Who else is out there though? I don't think they'll bring in a part-timer at this point....

No I agree...its just gonna be ugly until they can entice Cena and Lesnar back. Unless they do a full scale NXT invasion. Guys like Owens are not quite ready to carry a show.

Not yet, but he's close. I think Owens will end up having a similar character arc to what The Rock had early on (before he became a super super star, which plainly doesn't exist anymore)....

I guess Rusev is hurt now too....how about WWE Champion Big E?

Those guys are funnier than fuck. I give them all credit for charisma.

Rusev is hurt, yes. At this point they don't even have 8 believable guys to have a title tournament...that's a big problem.
