Cody Rhodes recently left the WWE due to frustrations about the way he was being used in the company and the fact that they wouldn't allow him to drop the Stardust gimmick we've mentioned a number of times here on CBM. Now, he looks set to spend the rest of 2016 tearing up the Indies, and as a trained actor, Rhodes (the son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes) has landed a role in Arrow.
The news was made official during a panel at the Heroes & Villains FanFest in New Jersey today by Stephen Amell, with Rhodes adding that, "You can probably expect Stephen and I to get into another fight." No further details about who he'll play were revealed, but chances are that he'll be playing a villain based on that description. It was also mentioned that he'll first show up in episode three.
What we do know is that Rhodes won't be in the WWE owned Stardust persona he adopted during that wrestling match with Amell at last year's SummerSlam. Oddly, none of the wrestlers involved with that bout did too well as Neville (Amell's tag team partner) broke his ankle and King Barrett also left the company. Regardless, it's should be a lot of fun seeing Rhodes make his presence felt in Arrow!
