Stephen Amell reflects on his match at WWE SummerSlam 2015.
Arrow star Stephen Amell started feuding with Cody Rhodes, then known as Stardust, in 2015. The actor then stepped into the ring at SummerSlam, where he and Neville faced Stardust and King Barrett.
Stephen Amell recently discussed the match during a Sign-it-Live for Highspots. He noted that he wanted to use the Arrow theme song, but Warner Brothers would have charged him $5,000. (H/t Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling for the transcription)
“I asked W.B. if we could use the Arrow theme song for my music (at WWE SummerSlam 2015), and they said yeah and they wanted to charge me $5,000, and I said, ‘Are you guys out of your mind?’” Stephen Amell said. “I said, ‘I will not pay you a single dollar. Do you understand that I’m doing promotion for the show?’ And they went, ‘Well, we didn’t set it up. So it’s gonna be $5,000,’ and I said — can we swear on this? I said, ‘Go f*ck yourselves’ and then they called up and they said, ‘We’re happy to give it to you’ and I said, ‘Uhn, uhn…’ I shouldn’t have shared that.
“The WWE wrote me a nice — they wrote me something. They did it. It wasn’t as good as what Blake Neely put together for The Arrow score which would’ve been amazing… Oh man, people at studios don’t like when they don’t have their own ideas.”
