UPDATE:
Following our original story, on WWE’s Monday Night Raw of August 3, 2015 and on WWE.com, it was confirmed that actor Stephen Amell will be at WWE Raw on August 10, 2015 emanating from Seattle, Washington.
WWE.com’s headline notes that Green Arrow is coming to WWE Monday Night Raw yet when you click on the article the more accurate headline noting Amell who stars as Arrow on TV is coming to WWE Raw is used.
So, just who is showing up to confront Stardust next week? Stephen Amell or his alter ego Green Arrow?
ORIGINAL ARTICLE:
As part of its 5-point preview to the August 3, 2015 edition of WWE Raw, WWE.com includes some interesting teaser wording in their 5-point preview. Spoilers follow.
WWE.com describes the ongoing feud by WWE superstar and self-fashioned comic book super-villain Stardust (Cody Rhodes) and Neville (billed as the “Man Who Gravity Forgot” whose finisher is called the Red Arrow) as follows:
- In a conflict ripped straight out of a comic book, Neville and Stardust seem to be rocketing toward an explosive collision, as WWE’s most notorious face-painted fiend continues his mind games with The Man That Gravity Forgot, goading the caped wonder into becoming his “hero” and urging the WWE Universe to “embrace the strange.” Stardust’s dastardly antics show no sign of stopping, and it seems that Neville is the only one who can silence The Prince of Dark Matter once and for all. Will an arrow, red or otherwise, soon pierce the icy heart of this interdimensional nightmare? Tune in Monday night at 8/7 C on USA Network — same Raw time, same Raw channel.
The “will an arrow, red or otherwise” language sure seems to be teasing a Stephen Amell or his alter ego Green Arrow’s emergence in the feud between Stardust and Neville. Both Stephen Amell and Stardust have waged a twitter war of sorts, with teases galore, as well as had a brief exchange on WWE Raw several weeks ago.
What will be the pay-off of all this hype? Stephen Amell vs. Stardust at Summerslam 2015 or Neville, with Green Arrow in his corner, vs. Stardust at Summerslam 2015? Or… something else entirely for Stardust?
WWE Raw emanates from San Jose, California just a short plane ride from Vancouver, British Columbia where actor Stephen Amell’s CW TV show Arrow is filmed.
Stay tuned to WWE Raw tonight as the build to Summerslam 2015 continues.
