Stephen Amell had a big surprise for the Arrow fans at Heroes & Villains fanfest in New Jersey during his panel with Cody Rhodes. Why would he have a panel with Cody Rhodes? That’s a question I asked myself too. But I guess it made sense after his announcement during said panel. Stephen Amell told the audience that none other than Cody Rhodes will guest star on the show starting in episode 3 of season 5. And from what I could gather it wouldn’t be a one episode stint.
For those of you wondering what the connection is between Stephen Amell and Cody Rhodes, it is Stardust. Stardust is a character that Cody played (he retired the character) on WWE. The character followed a comic book super villain resemblance who had a tiff with Stephen Amell’s character on Arrow. Which ended up with Stephen Amell wrestling with Neville against Stardust and King Barrett at Summerslam in 2015. A great wrestling match to see by the way.
But back to Cody Rhodes. According to his tweet Cody Rhodes will enter Arrow and its fandom with the utmost respect. As he complemented Stephen Amell who did the same when he visited the WWE. Which shows a lot of character if you ask me.
I step into this respectfully, humbly, and looking to do it justice for the fandom #HVFF @CW_Arrow pic.twitter.com/UbU0lzG4df

I haven’t seen Cody Rhodes acting, besides Stardust (a loud obnoxious person who is in your face a lot), but I am looking forward to see what character he plays and how he does it. I don’t know the character Stardust well, or at all, but to play such a character (I don’t know the right word to describe him), you need to have some skills. I could tell one thing and that is that Cody Rhodes takes it very seriously, so he will do his best. And if he acts as well as he plays Stardust he won’t fail Star City.
So if I did my calculations right Cody Rhodes‘ first episode on Arrow will air on a Wednesday on the CW at the end of October or at the beginning of November depending on the holiday schedule in the US.
THAT IS GONNA BE GREAT!!
