The Arrow will make his World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) debut at SummerSlam.

Actor Stephen Amell, star of the hit show “Arrow,” hits the squared circle as he competes in a tag team match in the August 23 (August 24 Manila time) event.

Amell is scheduled to team up with high flyer Neville as they go up against Stardust and Bad News Barrett.

The match was set after Stardust attacked Neville after his match against Barrett at Raw in Seattle. The face-painted Cody Rhodes then shifted his focus on Amell, who was at ringside, and shoved the actor. The latter retaliated by attacking Stardust in the ring before being separated by security.

Backstage, Amell asked WWE Chief Operating Officer (COO) Triple H the match and said, “I’m an actor, I’m also a man. If some guy’s gonna put his hands on me, I got to fight back.”

The tag team match is just a part of the four-hour SummerSlam event in Brooklyn with Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker’s WrestleMania XXX rematch featured as the night’s main event.
