Stephen Amell of ‘Arrow’ to confront Stardust on RAW next week
The social media feud between WWE’s Stardust and ‘Arrow’ actor Stephen Amell will come to a head next week on RAW.
Stardust has been engaging Stephen Amell, titular actor from the TV show “Arrow,” on social media for some time now. The two have been exchanging barbs back and forth since Amell appeared on the Memorial Day RAW. It’s only grown from there, but the feud has now apparently reached its climax.
Last week things got really heated when, after RAW, Amell had some strong words for Stardust:
Hey @StardustWWE - I'm not a wrestler. But if you keep calling me out, I'm going to come to Raw and punch you right in the mouth.

Stardust then responded on Smackdown later last week, using Amell’s catchphrase as the superhero Green Arrow while Stardust defeated R-Truth:
"@RonKillings, you have FAILED this city! So come on @WWENeville... #BeMyHero!" - @StardustWWE #SmackDown http://t.co/WS6965VKlR

Amell did not take kindly to that, asking where he could find Stardust:
You know the saying imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? I disagree. Somebody point me towards @StardustWWE! pic.twitter.com/MSAOHLYNOT

Well apparently he has figured that out, because during the August 3 episode of RAW, Amell tweeted out that he will be on RAW next week and wants a piece of Stardust:
Ok @StardustWWE -- you asked for it. See you next Monday. #AmellGetsRaw pic.twitter.com/A9v9ReZHa5

Amell’s report was later confirmed by WWE.
There have been rumors for quite a while that Stardust and Amell could be working a program at Summerslam and this could very well be the start of it. I have no idea how Amell will fare in terms of his in-ring work, but anything with Stardust being able to talk about superheroes and mysticism should be gold.
