WWE Rumors: 'Arrow' Star Stephen Amell Reportedly Wrestling Stardust at SummerSlam!

Stephen Amell, star of the CW series Arrow, is extremely active on social media and has professed his love of professional wrestling numerous times. Now, a new report says the man who plays the hooded hero will actually step into the ring against Stardust at SummerSlam!

Hollywood Life exclusively reports through an anonymous source that the 34-year-old actor will square off with the 29-year-old Cody Rhodes aka Stardust at WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view, typically the second-largest wrestling event of the year behind WrestleMania, in August at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

“Steven is looking to get in the ring for the WWE and the match looks like it will take place at SummerSlam in NYC,” a source tells Hollywood Life.

WWE has already started building to this match. Stardust got into it with Amell during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, and The Wrestling Observer subsequently reported that this may not have been just a one-time appearance. Amell has been campaigning to host Raw for a while, and the Observer reported that some planning went into his recent appearance. The report stated WWE is hoping to culminate a feud between the two at SummerSlam.

Amell and Stardust then exchanged some more words via social media and through interviews on WWE television. But Hollywood Life reports that the planning for the match is already underway!

“The WWE and Stephen are deciding if he should wrestle as himself or Arrow. In the next few weeks that will be answered, but what can be answered now is that he will definitely have a match against WWE Superstar Stardust,” the insider confirmed to the site.
