WWE has yet to make an official statement concerning the report. There’s also no way of knowing whether Amell would compete as himself or The Green Arrow character.

Amell will also play Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Half Shell, which is set for release in 2016.

WWE “SummerSlam” takes place on Aug. 23, live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Editor’s Note

I didn’t see this coming. This is a quality get for WWE – if true – as Arrow is one of the more popular television shows running at the moment. I guess Stardust isn’t a lost cause after all. The company wouldn’t trust just anyone to step in the ring with a famous actor. It also makes sense for WWE to begin teasing tension now, thus giving Amell ample time to train should the match come to fruition.
