  • It Was Bad: Stephan Amell Did Not Enjoy 2026 Royal Rumble

    Stephen Amell did not enjoy Royal Rumble this year.

    The TV star has been a lifelong fan of wrestling. Apart from playing the part of a wrestler in Heels, Amell has entered the ring himself and competed at events such as the 2015 SummerSlam and the original All In.

    So it was no surprise when the topic of wrestling was brought up during his recent interview with iHeartRadio. He was asked about Roman Reigns winning the 2026 Royal Rumble, and Stephen Amell admitted that he was not a fan of this booking decision:

    \”I thought the Rumble was bad. Listen not every show can be great. I thought that like Night 2 of WrestleMania last year, and I was there, I thought that was an A++ night of wrestling. I thought top to bottom, tip to tail, it was great. I thought that this Rumble was…I just didn\’t think it was great.\”

    It Seemed Weird: Stephen Amell

    Stephen Amell also commented on the lighting of the venue in Riyadh that received a lot of criticism online. The Arrow star noted how the whole thing made the arena look empty and mentioned that it made the presentation weird compared to previous years:

    \”And I just thought that the atmosphere, it seemed weird, like the arena was kind of empty. Or was it? It was just optically, the way that it looks and presents is important. And I thought that it looked and presented poorly, relative to previous rumbles. I\’ve been to I think the last three prior to this in San Antonio, Tampa, and Indianapolis. Those shows were awesome. The atmosphere was great and this one just wasn\’t.\”
