35 WTF Moments From SummerSlam 2015

11. Jon Stewart Says The "W" Word

Who ever thought they'd see two verbal masterminds on the level of Paul Heyman and Jon Stewart talking to one another? Well, it happened backstage at SummerSlam, a terrific (if brief) segment in which Stewart called out Heyman on Lesnar's defeat of The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30. However, Stewart committed one cardinal sin: he used the word "wrestling", which Vince McMahon and other higher-ups staunchly disapprove of talent speaking, because of the negative connotations and how hard the WWE has tried to brand itself as "sports entertainment" over the years. Sure, Stewart's not exactly going to end up in the dog-house, but for any long-time WWE fan with even just a little insider knowledge, it was a pretty cringe-worthy moment. You can practically feel Paul Heyman tensing up when he says it, and Vince was probably wrecking some furniture backstage.
