New Plot Synopsis For ARROW Season 5 Episode 3: "A Matter Of Trust" Sheds Light On Cody Rhodes' Cameo
Oliver Queen is going to have his hands full in episode three when former WWE superstar Cody Rhodes makes his way to Star City and causes major trouble for a member of the new Team Arrow!
After their bout in the ring last year, Stephen Amell & Cody Rhodes are only a few weeks away from their rematch, albeit this time, they'll be taking their talents to The CW.
Rhodes will portray Garret Runnels, a new drug dealer that's been causing mayhem in Star City, and will cross paths with Oliver Queen in episode three when he threatens a member of the new Team Arrow. We have the plot description below, which offers a few extra details and teases a major showdown between the Green Arrow and Runnels. Check it out below:
WWE STAR CODY RHODES BRINGS THE SMACKDOWN TO STAR CITY — Now that Oliver (Stephen Amell) has his new team, they are ready to hit the streets but Oliver doesn’t feel they are ready. Headstrong Wild Dog (guest star Rick Gonzalez) defies the Green Arrow’s orders and sets out on his own after a new drug dealer, Garret Runnels (guest star Cody Rhodes), who is terrorizing Star City. Runnels proves more powerful than Wild Dog and it is up to the Green Arrow to go head to head with Runnels to save his teammate. Gregory Smith directed the episode written by Ben Sokolowski & Emilio Ortega Aldrich (#503). Original airdate 10/19/2016.
Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With Diggle back in the military and Thea adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy, Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity – but they’re no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow’s public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.
