Host of “The Daily Show” and longtime WWE fan Jon Stewart killed it on “Raw” on Monday night. He also killed pro wrestler Seth Rollins’s junk with his finishing move, dubbed on Twitter as “The Daily Low Blow.”
Stewart’s finisher came after he doled out several minutes of excellent commentary, during which he schooled Rollins about his actual role in WWE (stooge of “The Authority”) opposed to the aggrandized role Rollins perceives he’s in (“The future of the WWE!”). He also sneaked in quite a good insult.
“How could I make a fool out of man dressed like a S.W.A.T. team stripper with Lady Gaga’s hair?” Stewart said, referring to Rollins’s trademark black and white hairdo.
Rollins, a most excellent heel who started the “feud” with Stewart two weeks ago, didn’t just let Stewart throw barbs at him, however; things eventually got physical, which led to Stewart’s swift kick between Rollins’s legs off a distraction by pro wrestler Randy Orton.
So is this the end of the feud that began two weeks ago when Rollins’s boasted he could do Stewart’s job better than him? Perhaps not quite, judging from Rollins’s tweet after the show.
