Pro Wrestling’s Cody Rhodes To Appear On ‘Arrow’ This Season!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It looks like the Stephen Amell / Cody Rhodes feud is not quite finished yet, which I certainly wouldn’t have expected based on the fact that Rhodes left WWE back in May.

Amell himself had multiple RAW appearances throughout last year, and faced Rhodes’ Stardust character in a tag-team match during WWE’s Summerslam Pay-Per View last August.

Both Amell and Rhodes appeared at the “Wrestling Rivals” panel at Heroes & Villains FanFest in Secaucus, N.J. During the event, Amell let loose that Rhodes would appear in the third episode of Arrow‘s upcoming fifth season.

No information was revealed about Rhodes’ role, but Rhodes teased that “You can probably expect Stephen and I to get into another fight.”

We can’t freaking wait. The rivalry has been hilarious thus far, and as disappointed as I was when Rhodes left WWE in May (because I’m a huge fan and would love to see him in the ring as much as possible), I’m certainly glad that Rhodes appears to be making his rounds.

Are you looking forward to Arrow‘s fifth season? What did you think of last year’s offering? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!

Stephen Amell Is Selling An ‘Arrow’ Themed Summerslam Shirt; Proceeds Go To Charity

by Josh Jackson

In case you didn’t know, Oliver Queen himself, Stephen Amell, will be going toe to toe against Stardust, WWE’s resident Super Villian, at the company’s annual Summerslam event. While the Arrow actor confirmed that he will be wearing the new Arrow costume to the ring this Sunday’s he’s giving his fans a chance to wear something even better.

The “Amell vs. Stardust” shirt uses a design and vendor completely separate from the wrestling company, giving all of the proceeds to Emily’s House, a Toronto based hospice for children. This means that your $28 will go do a well designed shirt while your cash goes to a good cause. At the very least, it doesn’t have a stupid back design like most of the official merchandise!

The shirt is only available for a limited time, so make sure you get your order in at here. Are you tuning in to watch Arrow save the WWE? Be heard below!

Stephen Amell of ‘Arrow’ Will Be at WWE Raw Next Week

by Eric Francisco

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.

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.
