Stephen Amell of ‘Arrow’ Will Be at WWE Raw Next Week
Stephen Amell is coming (back) to WWE Raw.
For weeks Stephen Amell, star of DC and The CW’s Arrow and Stardust, a.k.a. Cody Rhodes, the son of the late Dusty Rhodes, have been teasing each other with a possible-ish match at SummerSlam, scheduled for August 23rd in Brooklyn, New York. While it’s unlikely to happen due to the fact that regardless how phenomenally in-shape Stephen Amell may be, he isn’t a trained professional wrestler, surely something is going to happen. A really intense staredown, I bet.
We’ll know what happens when Stephen Amell shows up at Raw in Seattle next Monday.
Ok @StardustWWE — you asked for it. See you next Monday. #AmellGetsRaw pic.twitter.com/A9v9ReZHa5

Celebrities showing up to, ahem, “wrestle” has happened two million times before — David Arquette, Jay Leno, basically all of WWE Raw in 2009, hell this won’t even be Stephen Amell’s first time — but with how many safeguards even the WWE’s own roster must go through today I don’t think we’ll see a legitimate Arrow vs. Stardust match. He’ll probably be Neville’s Bobby Heenan, cheering him to make Stardust fail Seattle or some shit. Can’t risk a major TV star injuring himself and unable to shoot his show, can they?
Gonna go on a limb and say Raw might be a cross-promotional platform with some blessing from the suits for Amell to debut the new suit, since the WWE is using that particular image for this appearance.
