Stephen Amell has now confirmed his future in professional wrestling, putting all speculation to rest.
While speaking during Comic-Con Midlands, Stephen Amell admitted he was very surprised by how physically demanding professional wrestling is. He explained that most wrestlers eventually walk away from the business, but by the time they do, many of them have gone through serious injuries. It’s common for them to need surgeries on their necks or backs, or even have shoulders, hips, or knees replaced.
Amell described the wrestling lifestyle as extremely grueling and said it’s definitely not something he wants to do regularly. For him, stepping into the ring once every ten years is enough. He even joked that he doesn’t want to risk damaging his “money maker.”
“Yeah, very much so. I mean, most of those guys—you walk away from the business at some point, but you know, most of the time, by the time these guys do walk away, like, they’ll have to have a neck surgery or a back surgery or shoulders replaced or hips replaced or knees replaced. It’s a grueling, grueling lifestyle. Yeah, it for sure is. Yeah. Not for me. Yeah. Once—once every 10 years. I don’t want to mess with this money maker.”
Stephen Amell is known for his pro wrestling background, having competed at SummerSlam 2015 and at the original All In back in 2018. However, it’s clear he has no intention of stepping back inside the squared circle anytime soon. Therefore, fans shouldn’t expect him to compete again for the time being.
