The new season of 'Arrow' hasn't even started yet, but Oliver Queen has already found a new villain to go up against!
'Arrow' star Stephen Amell was watching Monday's 'WWE Raw' and enjoying the fight between Neville and Wayne Barrett from the front row. His distance from the ring made him an easy target for WWE baddie Stardust, who attacked Neville before turning to violent shove Amell.
Stardust, who initially known as Cody Rhodes, has previously attacked Stephen Amell with insulting tweets after the actor called the wrestler out for stealing his 'Arrow' catchphrase. At one point, Amell had enough of the trash talk that he tweeted, "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."

Stephen Amell definitely delivered on his promise. After being hit by Stardust, the lithe actor leaped into the ring and attacked the wrestler, managing to land a few hits before he was pulled off by security.

Before he was led off the ring, Stephen Amell managed to signal to Stardust that he had his eyes on the wrestler.

The incident wasn't something that the 'Arrow' actor would easily let go. In a backstage segment, Stephen Amell and Neville asked for a chance to take on Stardust and Wade Barrett. Naturally, WWE couldn't say no to a tag team match involving a TV superhero and the date was set.
Stephen Amell and Neville will go up against Stardust and Wade Barrett in a special tag team match in the upcoming 'WWE SummerSlam' on August 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, Amell will return as Oliver Queen in the fourth season of 'Arrow,' where he will be joined by 'Constantine' star Matt Ryan. Although the NBC show has been cancelled, John Constantine will be making an appearance in the fifth episode of 'Arrow' Season Four.
