Cody Rhodes Cast in Arrow

WWE wrestler Cody Rhodes will be appearing in an undisclosed guest role this season on Arrow. Stephen Amell originally made the announcement at Heroes and Villians Fan Fest in New Jersey.

Before we get going, we have an announcement. We have a new guest star on Arrow this year: Mr. Cody Rhodes. I'm so fired up for this guy; he and I haven't really had much of a chance to talk about it but we've been friends for a little over a year now. I know that Cody has really wanted to get into the acting business. He went to LA, he read for a part, and his deal closed yesterday and the dude is going to be on Arrow and I'm so fired up.

Guest starring on #Arrow this fall... Mr. @CodyRhodes --
