Stephen Amell, well-known for his passion for professional wrestling and his role as a wrestler on the TV series “Heels,” as well as his WWE SummerSlam 2015 match, recently shared his views on the 2026 Royal Rumble event in an iHeartRadio interview. He described the event as disappointing, highlighting that the atmosphere felt off and the arena appeared unusually empty—an issue attributed to the LED seat lighting despite a reported strong attendance. Amell emphasized that the presentation looked worse compared to previous Royal Rumbles he attended in San Antonio, Tampa, and Indianapolis, which he enjoyed much more. Additionally, he commended NXT star Sol Luka’s performance during the Women’s Royal Rumble, comparing her energy to the legendary Lita and suggesting she deserves a significant push in WWE.
Fan Take: Stephen Amell’s candid critique reflects a growing sentiment among fans who expect high production value and electric atmospheres at major WWE events. His praise for emerging talent like Sol Luka hints at exciting future storylines and fresh faces that could revitalize the sport and engage audiences worldwide.
