Stephen Amell is gearing up for this weekend’s big match with Neville and squaring off against Wade Barrett and Stardust at SummerSlam. That is if Amell makes it that long. The Arrow actor injured himself, nearly breaking his jaw, while training. Is the WWE too dangerous for Green Arrow?
In a video on Facebook, Stephen Amell, swollen tongue and all, opened up about how he hurt himself training ahead of his match against Stardust (transcribed via Inquisitir) :
“Super fired up this morning… I was training, I was doing a snatch-pull-curl… I don’t know, with a bar. I snatched it so hard that it literally cracked me in the jaw, right here. And both my molars, indented into my tongue. I’m okay. I’m just waiting for some ice at the moment. Ice it down, take the swelling of the tongue away. Hopefully get back to speaking in a more normal voice. I’m very excited to loop my lines on Arrow today, because I don’t think I necessarily sound like me. Nothing like ringing your bell first thing in the morning. Very exciting week.”
However, despite nearly breaking his jaw, Amell is not backing down. Showing just how stoked he is for the match, Stephen shared some amazing fan-art from artist Danny Haas on Facebook.
