Stephen Amell has confirmed that he has worked on a project for WWE that will come out around the same time as Heels season two.
Wrestling fans will recognise Amell from his several in-ring bouts, with the actor making his in-ring debut teaming with Pac (fka Neville) to defeat Wade Barrett and Cody Rhodes (Stardust) at WWE SummerSlam 2015.
Amell also notably wrestled at the 2018 All In event, which many view as a precursor to AEW.
Speaking during a Whatnot live signing, Amell discussed his connections to WWE and AEW.
Noting that he has been involved with an upcoming WWE project, he said:
“We have talked about various avenues for promoting the second season of the show (Heels on STARZ) and obviously, we’re a little less than two months away from it coming out so we still have a little bit of time but, we’re kicking around some ideas.
“I mean obviously, if Cody (Rhodes) was still with AEW, it’d be pretty cut and dry that we’d do something with AEW. Now I’ve got Phil, CM Punk, who’s on the show with AEW, we got Cody back in WWE.
“So, I have a connection with Phil, I have a connection with Cody. I haven’t done anything with AEW. I’ve done stuff with WWE.
“AEW feels like it might be a little bit more of a natural path right now but I also am involved in a project for the WWE that comes out right around the same time as the second season of Heels comes out so it’s like, I don’t know. These are champagne problems.
The second season of Heels is slated to premiere in late-July.
Amell recently shared a photo of himself and CM Punk following a training session, ahead of the former AEW World Champion’s return to TV, which you can read more about right here.
