UPDATE: Stephen Amell Rumored To Have A Match At WWE SUMMERSLAM...As 'The Arrow'?!
Last Monday, Stephen Amell appeared on WWE Raw and had an altercation of sorts with a wrestler known as Stardust. It's clear that something is being planned for the avid wrestling fan, and according to a new report, it will be a match at this year's SummerSlam...
Recently, wrestling dirt sheets revealed that WWE wants to do a programme between Stephen Amell and Stardust. The actor has made it clear that he wants to host the show on a number of occassions, but it's when celebrities get involved in storylines that things really get interesting (Jon Stewart's recent feud with Seth Rollins received nationwide mainstream media coverage).
Hollywood Life - not the most reliable of sources - have weighed in by claiming that, "Steven is looking to get in the ring for the WWE and the match looks like it will take place at SummerSlam in NYC." They add: "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." That sounds a little ludicrous, but both the WWE and The CW would no doubt benefit from such a match, so it could happen.
I'd say a guest spot of some sort is plausible (and SummerSlam is a big event, making something there extremely likely), and there's no smoke without fire. However, Amell wrestling as The Arrow? I'm not so sure about that one, though Stardust has been bringing his character up a lot...
