Arrow star Stephen Amell is quite clearly a fan of the business, having had matches in WWE, Ring of Honor and at the All In pay-per-view. He is also now currently in production on wrestling drama TV series Heels, where he plays one of the lead characters.  

Once again, Amell's genuine enthusiasm and passion shone through in his first match, which took place at SummerSlam 2015 and came about thanks to his relationship with Cody Rhodes, who at that time was portraying the hapless Stardust. 

Amell teamed with Neville to take on Stardust and Bad News Barrett in a fine midcard outing that got three deserving performers onto the card and made great use of the celebrity element. 

The things he did best were selling, as he was isolated for the bulk of the contest, before hitting a few select moves and finishing off his night with a big dive from the top rope to the outside. 

Neville got the pin following a Red Arrow, so the emphasis was on him at the end, but Amell gave a good account of himself and was said to have impressed many backstage with his performance and conduct.

His first singles match, in 2018 against the ever-dependable Christopher Daniels, was also pretty damn decent and further demonstrated his aptitude for the grap game.
