Stephen Amell Says He Was Supposed To Face Cody Rhodes In A Cage Match In 2015

Stephen Amell looks back on working with Cody Rhodes in WWE.

Amell and Rhodes feuded heading into WWE SummerSlam 2015, and they clashed in a tag team match at the event. There, Amell and Neville faced Rhodes, who was Stardust at the time, and King Barrett. Amell and Neville scored the win, but the former Heels star recently revealed that the feud was set to continue.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet , Stephen Amell expressed his hope that there was more to the story. He recalled how they were supposed to have a cage match at the October pay-per-view in 2015. (H/t Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling )

“I really hope so,” Stephen Amell said. “I don’t wanna speak for him too much but, I really do think that after our match at SummerSlam — Neville pinned King Barrett and then they did the camera thing where as Cody’s walking out of the ring, they got the camera on him and they got the camera on me, which is the sign, universal sign in wrestling, we’re not done. We have unfinished business, and so the plan was, as best I can recall, was there was a pay-per-view after SummerSlam and then the October pay-per-view was going to be in L.A. at Crypto, Staples.

“Cody and I were supposed to have a Cage match… We were getting ready to send a ring up to Vancouver for me to do a bunch more training because I basically faked my way through the SummerSlam match. I could probably still take you through the beats of it right now. So the plan was to actually go more the length like I went with Christopher Daniels, like 12, 15 minutes.”

Stephen Amell On Plans Changing

Amell continued by saying that the plan was in place, but Rhodes called him and told him that the match was shelved. He noted that Rhodes said that he was devastated and embarrassed at the time.

“The plan (was) to lose clean, and then, all of a sudden, Cody just calls me up and he goes, ‘Look man, I don’t know what’s going on but our match just got shelved and no one will give me an explanation why and I am devastated and I’m deeply embarrassed,'” Amell said. “I was like, ‘Look man, it’s okay. That’s okay’ but, I really think that was one of the contributing factors to him leaving.”
