Actor Stephen Amell has been orbiting the wrestling world for a long time. It began when he feuded with Cody Rhodes during the American Nightmare's first WWE run to promote the CW series Arrow. Their feud culminated at Summerslam 2015, when Amell and Neville (now known as Pac) fought Stardust and King Barrett.

He's now a star in the television series Heels, in which he plays professional wrestler Jack Spade.

Could We See Stephen Amell At Wrestlemania?

In a recent interview with WrestleRant, Stephen Amell discussed the recent WWE appearances of Bad Bunny and Logan Paul. He expressed that he feels those two have raised the bar and have made him want to step back in the ring. Fightful has provided the following transcription:

Logan Paul and Bad Bunny have taken the quote-on-quote celebrity appearances, they’ve taken what I tried to build on, and they’ve taken it like eight levels higher. So I’m very competitive, so now I’ve gotta come back.

Amell was then asked if he'd like to have a match at WrestleMania, to which he responded:

I mean, fantasy booking, I’d love to have a WrestleMania match. Cody says this all the time. I’m one good match away from the Hall of Fame. One good match. Now I have a different standard than everyone else, if I was an actual professional wrestler and just sort of an interloping quote-on-quote celebrity appearance every once and a while, I’d have much much work to do. But I feel like for that wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, I’m like one good match away, and a Mania match counts as like ten matches, so we’ll see. It’s the Snoop Dogg/Arnold Schwarzenegger wing of the Hall of Fame. We used to call it the Donald Trump wing of the Hall of Fame, but we don’t [do that] so much anymore.

Wrestlemania 40 will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania next year. Fans will have to wait and see if Amell does, in fact, end up on the card.
