Jon Stewart opened "The Daily Show" last night by thanking WWE for showing himself and his son such a great time at Raw before asking them, "How do you get ball marks out of your shoe?" in reference to Stewart kicking Seth Rollins in the groin on Raw.  If you missed it, Stewart pretty much had one of the best celebrity appearances in WWE ever on Monday (and probably will end up in the WWE Hall of Fame one day for it) and it's well worth seeking out.

Speaking of the Hall, the WWE Network uploaded WWE Hall of Fame Look Backs at the 1994, 1995 and 1996 Hall of Fame ceremonies.  Hosted by Gene Okerlund and Renee Young, they feature discussions of those inducted in those years (as well as Andre the Giant in 1993), video features on those inducted from those ceremonies and their acceptance speeches.  The specials range in 25 minute to 50 minutes long with a graphic noting that due to production issues, they have presented the best quality possible.  While everyone would obviously love the unedited versions, I think it's great that WWE put these together.

"Guardians of the Galaxy", which featured a great turn by Dave Bautista, received a TON of MTV Movie Award nominations.

Following last night's Raw broadcast, WWE will return to Washington, DC on Monday 6/29.  There is an online pre-sale right now at Ticketmaster.com using the code WWEDC. Thanks to Michael Carpenter.

WWE will tape Smackdown in Ottawa, Ontario on 5/5.

Edge posted the following video on Youtube announcing he would be starring in the WWE Studios film "Interrogation" as we reported yesterday.  Thanks to Terri Bey.
