Arrow star Stephen Amell -- who plays Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on The CW television series -- will make his return to WWE television on Tuesday. Rather than wrestle a match, however, Amell will be going to school.
As announced on the official WWE on FOX Twitter account, Amell will appear on the next episode of FS1's WWE Backstage as part of the "Promo School" segment -- which involves special guests putting their skills on the microphone to the test in an attempt to impress the show's crew. The episode airs this Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 11 p.m. ET.
In addition to playing DC Comics' resident deadeye archer on The CW's Arrow, Amell has become fairly synonymous with the world of professional wrestling. His history with WWE in particular dates back to 2015, when he made a series of guest appearances for the promotion, culminating in a tag team match at that year's SummerSlam event -- in which he and Neville defeated Stardust (Cody Rhodes) and King Barrett.
In 2017, Amell debuted for Ring of Honor, becoming an honorary member of the infamous Bullet Club faction and wrestling in another tag team match. He finally made his singles wrestling debut in a losing effort against Christopher Daniels at All In -- the 2018 independent pay-per-view event promoted by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.
While it is unclear if the Emerald Archer will step into the ring for an actual promotion again, his love affair with the wrestling business lives on. Following Arrow's impending conclusion, Amell is set to star in Starz's upcoming pro wrestling-based drama series Heels.
Hosted by Renee Young and Booker T, WWE Backstage airs live on FS1 Tuesdays at 11 p.m. ET.
Airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, Arrow's final season stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Rick Gonzalez as Wild Dog, Juliana Harkavy as Black Canary, Katie Cassidy as Black Siren, Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak, Joseph David-Jones as Connor Hawke and Ben Lewis as William Clayton-Queen.
