More updates have been revealed just a few days before one of the biggest WWE events of the year - WWE SummerSlam 2015. 

On Sunday, some of the biggest WWE superstars will be firing up the Barclays Center for the pay-per-view event. Hosting the wrestling event is Jon Stewart.

A longtime wrestling fan, SummerSlam will be Stewart's first gig since leaving "The Daily Show" earlier this month although this isn't the first of the host in the WWE ring.

According to USA Today, earlier this year, Stewart got into a heated back-and-forth with now WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. 

"The TV host taunted Rollins online, the wrestler then crashed Stewart's show, and the twosome settled matters in the squared circle during an episode of USA's Monday Night Raw in March," the site noted.

The two will face again on Sunday, as Rollins is set to face United States champion John Cena in a winner takes all match.

Aside from the host, two other superstars are joining the WWE SummerSlam 2015 roster. 

Kevin Nash and Scott Hall will be present in New York for the PPV event.

Nash and Hall are expected to arrive in NYC on Friday and will be participating at the autograph signing panel, Wrestle Zone reported. It is also possible that both wrestlers will be joining the WWE special "NXT Takeover Brooklyn", however, nothing has been confirmed. 

WWE SummerSlam 2015 will take place on Sunday, August 23.The four-hour wrestling special will air on WWE Network starting 7pm ET.
