#6 Cody Rhodes on "Arrow"

Rhodes was a villain on Arrow

Cody Rhodes formed a friendship with actor Stephen Amell after Amell and Neville faced Rhodes and Wade Barrett in a match at Summerslam 2015.

The whole idea was that Neville was sort of seen as a superhero with the feats of athleticism he was able to perform.

Cody, in his Stardust persona, played the supervillain in the feud which culminated in a match with Amell and Neville.

The two friends showdown at Summerslam in 2015.

Due to the friendship, Rhodes has appeared on two different seasons of CW's Arrow show. The first time was a few years ago and now he is a recurring character on the current season.

Rhodes played a supervillain named Derek Sampson who was peddling drugs in the hometown of Amell's character, Oliver Queen. The drug gave Sampson super strength and an aversion to pain but it was killing many others who took it.

Amell also appeared at Rhodes' All In show this past September.
