It had been rumoured for months, but last week's Raw made it official: Stephen Amell will wrestle at WWE SummerSlam this Sunday. The Arrow star appears to have been training for this match for some time now, so who knows, perhaps a career in the squared circle actually lies in his future!
For those of you who don't know, Amell will be teaming up with former NXT Champion Neville to take on Stardust and King Barrett in a tag team match. Seeing as the actor plays a superhero on TV (season four of Arrow kicks off on The CW this October), the WWE has been really playing up the fact the comic book elements of this rivalry, enhancing the personas of the wrestlers involved to reflect that. In the video below, Stardust and Barrett have a dire warning for Amell. It's going to be very interesting to see how he performs at the Jon Stewart hosted event this weekend, eh?
