While Stephen Amell may be known mainly for his acting work, he also has a solid following amongst pro wrestling fans. This is partly due to his work on the two-season Starz series Heels but also because of the high-profile wrestling matches he's participated in over the years. Amell recently shared a wild story about his match at WWE SummerSlam in 2015 and how Warner Bros. asked him to pay to promote Arrow at the event.
WWE superstar Cody Rhodes may be at the top of the wrestling food chain these days, but back in 2015, he was a mid-carder still putting in the work to establish himself as a standout talent apart from his legendary father, Dusty Rhodes, and equally famous half-brother, Goldust. He found a way to do so with a feud with then-CW star Stephen Amell, which eventually led to a guest-starring role on Arrow that Rhodes took pretty seriously.
