Watch Arrow star Stephen Amell wrestle at the All In PPV
By Nick Tylwalk
See TV’s Oliver Queen make his return to the wrestling ring at All In.
If you’re a fan of Arrow, you know that Stephen Amell is legitimately athletic. Not just everyone can do those salmon ladder reps, after all, and the actor is also known for doing as many of his own stunts as the show will let him do. Tonight, Amell will put those muscles and skills to the test at the All In independent wrestling pay-per-view outside Chicago, an event wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating.
The storyline for Amell’s match with Christopher Daniels sounds like it could be right out of what OIiver Queen is going through on Arrow. When wrestler Joey Ryan was “killed” in Japan, Amell was arrested for it. Later, it was revealed that Daniels had framed the actor for the deed, and when he got out of prison, the match was made to settle their grudge between the ropes.
This won’t be the first time Amell has been involved in a professional wrestling event. He got a chance to hit the ring at WWE’s SummerSlam in 2015, teaming with Neville to take on Stardust (Cody Rhodes) and King Barrett. His friendship with Rhodes led to Amell joining the wrestler’s Bullet Club faction in Ring of Honor in 2017, where he participated in a tag team match that also included Daniels on the other side. All In, however, will be the first time Amell is featured in a singles match.
Want to see if Amell has what it takes to defeat pro wrestlers as well as supervillains? All In is being offered through traditional pay-per-view providers, along with Ring of Honor’s Honor Club and FITE TV. It will also be carried on-demand by New Japan Pro Wrestling’s streaming service after it airs live, as some of the Japanese promotion’s top talents are also appearing on the card.
