Training For His WWE SummerSlam Match Has Arrow Star Stephen Amell On The Ropes

On Monday night’s RAW, Arrow star Stephen Amell was able to leap into the ring, tackled Stardust to the mat like a Penn State linebacker and pummel with a barrage of punches. Those were some impressive fighting skills, but they won’t cut it when Amell enters the ring in a few weeks for his first professional wrestling bout.

Many celebrities struggle in their wrestling debuts as they don’t take the time to learn a variety of advanced wrestling moves. Amell won’t fall victim to those same mistakes as he has begun educating himself on top rope maneuvers.
