Previously, Amell spoke about his Summer Slam debut and if he would return to the world of WWE.

"I didn't tell anyone from Warner Brothers and Paramount that I was doing that. So if I went back again, they would probably want some assurances that I refuse to give them, so we will see."

"I may have to be done with both Turtles [ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles] and Arrow before I step back into the ring," the actor added. Arrow season 5 premieres 5 October on The CW network.
