On Thursday’s broadcast, [Rollins interrupted Stewart’s moment of zen](http://thedailyshow.cc.com/full-episodes/xiptmz/february-26--2015---olivia-wilde "undefined") to challenge the comedian to a fight. The wrestler showed up on the set and threatened Stewart: “I hope, my friend, that you are prepared for a world of hurt.” Stewart wasn’t quite up for a duel in the moment, so Rollins challenged him to come to _Monday Night Raw_ at Newark’s Prudential Center in a few days. We just hope Rollins goes easy on the little guy—even his neck looks scary. \[[_The Daily Show_](http://thedailyshow.cc.com/full-episodes/xiptmz/february-26--2015---olivia-wilde "undefined")\] ### See Jon Stewart's Career Over the Years  Jon Stewart takes the reins as anchor of The Daily Show in 1999.
