Last summer Cody Rhodes had a high profile feud with “Arrow” star Stephen Amell which culminated in a match at SummerSlam. Now Cody is traveling to Stephen’s turf as it’s been confirmed that he will be making an appearance on the show in season 5.

At this point it’s not yet known who Cody is playing, but he’s been posting teasers online that indicate he’ll be playing a villain on the show. Production for “Arrow” season 5 recently kicked off and Cody has been training hard to get ready for his appearance.
