WWE Impressed With Stephen Amell - Will He Be Back?

The actor had a great showing at SummerSlam.

Stephen Amell, the start of TV's Arrow, is 1-0 in his WWE career after teaming up with Neville to beat Stardust and King Barrett in a tag match at SummerSlam. Amell impressed WWE officials as well as the wrestlers, reports PWInsider. He earned a lot of respect by how much he did in the ring and how hard he worked. Even though the match was under ten minutes in length, he still showed off with athleticism with some cool offensive moves and did a believable job of selling as well. The report also noted that there was talk of a singles match with Stardust down the line, but it's more of something that they could do down the line rather than some complete plan with a specific time and place. Amell tweeted the following: "Thank you @TripleH. And a massive thank you to the @WWE Universe. See you again." That would suggest he'll be back one day.

Amell was apparently blown away by the entire experience. He's a lifelong wrestling fan that attended shows in the Toronto area when he was a kid and had dreams of wrestling as well. Since it was Neville that got the decisive pinfall in the match, Stardust could say that Amell never beat him, which could be an easy way to set up a future match between them. Amell tweeted a photo of scars on his back from the match and Triple H posted a photo with him as well. https://twitter.com/amellywood/status/635620041317318656 https://twitter.com/TripleH/status/635619009375924224
