Celebrities Who Should Be In The WWE Hall Of Fame

Best known as the star of the CW superhero drama “Arrow,” Stephen Amell has been a long-time wrestling fan. That fandom eventually saw him step inside the ring with the WWE, teaming with Neville to wrestle Stardust and King Barrett at SummerSlam in 2015. Amell impressed in the match, even doing a dive onto Stardust. 

Amell would go on to become one of the most well-traveled modern celebrities who got into wrestling. He would work a match for ROH, teaming with the Elite (Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks) in a tag match that saw Stephen put through a table. He’d then carve himself a spot in a piece of wrestling history, working Christopher Daniels at the show that in many ways planted the seed of AEW, All In.

Amell’s history with wrestling has a whole second element though, and that’s his career in scripted dramas. His blossoming friendship with Cody Rhodes saw “The American Nightmare” make a cameo on “Arrow.” More importantly, when that show ended its eight-season run, Amell looked to combine his passions. “Heels,” a drama about pro wrestlers in Georgia, premiered on Starz in 2021 and stars Amell. In addition to giving wrestling a little more exposure just by its mere existence, “Heels” has provided another acting job for CM Punk, who portrays Ricky Rabies on the program.
