After appearing on WWE Raw, Arrow star Stephen Amell will fight wrestler Stardust at SummerSlam later this month.
The storyline between Amell, a longtime wrestling fan, and Stardust has been unfolding for months, beginning when Amell attended a Raw event and developed tension with Stardust. Since then, the two have been feuding over social media. The two finally came face to face again on Monday night’s Raw.
Amell had a ringside seat for the event, but after interrupting a match between wrestlers Neville and King Barrett, Stardust shoved Amell. Amell then jumped the barricade and entered the ring, though he was quickly restrained by security.
Watch the full clip below:
After the confrontation in the ring, Amell asked on-screen WWE COO Triple H for a match, offering to sign any necessary waivers. Triple H finally agreed to the match, saying, “Don’t bring a stuntman; this is on you.”
