WWE star Cody Rhodes, better known as Stardust, and "Arrow" star Stephen Amell are set to battle it out at the special four-hour event "WWE SummerSlam," which will be aired live on WWE Network on Aug. 23, Sunday. Apparently, the wrestling is confident to win the fight.
In a recent interview with Comic Book, Stardust asked what makes his "WWE SummerSlam" opponent very special and even implied that he does not know his name.
"That's what he'll have you believe," Stardust said of Amell. "Take a look at Mr. Amell's Facebook. Look at the amounts of fandom, the Olicity madness, that goes on his Facebook...his Twitter just now hitting a million followers. This kid, this boy, is on the rise! People love him."
On Aug. 14, Friday, Amell took to Facebook to share a picture of his "Arrow" character and Stardust. In less than 12 hours, the photo got more than 120,000 likes and more than 5,000 shares.
Stardust also said that in the process of his WWE exclusive search for a hero, he thought, "Why, why not look outside?"
According to Stardust, his "WWE SummerSlam" opponent "is not named Stephen Amell." He pointed that it is "a mask" and "a front" because "his name is Oliver Queen, son of Moira Queen, second-generation Queen man running Starling City, the Emerald Archer, the Green Arrow."
At the "WWE SummerSlam," Stardust is partnering up with King Barrett while Amell is teaming up with Neville for a tag team match. Currently, Amell is training for the match, Wrestling Inc. has learned.
