CODY RETURNS TO ARROW, SCU, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST COMPETITORS AND MORE RING OF HONOR NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2018-10-16 10:52:00

Cody, billed as Cody Rhodes, reprised his role of Derek Sampson on last night's episode of Arrow on the CW Network.  He'll be on several additional episodes this season.  Stephen Amell, who portrays Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow, is a lifelong pro wrestling fan who petitioned on social media for a long time to get involved with WWE, noting he would even wrestle if they let him guest-star on Raw.  This led to him doing several angles with Cody Rhodes, who at the time was performing as Stardust, leading to a Summerslam 2015 bout where Amell teamed with Neville to defeat Bad News Barrett and Stardust.Amell's friendsh  ip with Rhodes led to the current NWA champion appearing several times before on "Arrow" as Derek Sampson, a drug dealer behind a drug titled "Stardust," who in his debut appearance, gained super-powers that included an inability to feel pain as well as super strength.   With Amell's character having been sentenced to prison, he is now running into criminals he sent there himself, including Sampson.  Arrow is based on DC Comics' Green Arrow character and is kicking off its the midst of it's seventh season.  The show has been popular enough over the last five years to launch three (and counting) spin-off series.    You can see a clip of last night's episode below:

On 10/9, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky collectively registered to trademark 'SoCal Uncensored' for wrestling and clothing purposes.
