On Monday night's edition of WWE Raw, it was announced by Raw General Manager Mick Foley during a backstage segment with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon that Jon Stewart will make a special appearance at Sunday night's SummerSlam event.

Stewart also appeared at last year's event, where he served as the Special Guest Host. He also interfered in the Title vs. Title match between John Cena and Seth Rollins, attacking Cena and allowing Rollins to win the match and take the United States Championship.
