Jon Stewart Joins Stephen Amell at WWE Summerslam

Yeah. You totally read that headline correctly. Fresh off his Daily Show farewell, Jon Stewart himself will be hosting WWE Summerslam. He’s not the only strange crossover this year, though. Arrow‘s Stephen Amell is apparently also going to be at Summerslam, but he’ll actually be in the ring wresting with Stardust. Though let’s be honest, the action (and drama) at WWE events is never really just contained to a ring. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Stewart get dragged from the hosting desk into the ring.

Courtesy of The Verge, here’s a brilliant GIF of why the hell Stewart’s coming back to the WWE.

Oof.

This year’s Summerslam is filming in Brooklyn. You can watch at home on Pay-Per-View at 7PM EST.
