His first "WWE Raw" appearance took place in May 2015 and featured him having a confrontation with Stardust. In an August 2015 episode, Stardust assaulted Stephen in the audience, then Amell jumped into the ring to attack Stardust but was stopped by security. It was later announced that Stephen would be teaming up with Neville at SummerSlam, and the duo ended up winning a tag team match against Stardust and King Barrett at the event. In late 2015, Amell received a Slammy award for "Celebrity Moment of the Year" for diving onto Stardust during that match.

Personal Life
Stephen was married to Carolyn Lawrence from late 2007 to 2010. On Christmas Day in 2012, he wed actress / model Cassandra Jean in the Caribbean in a private ceremony, then they had another ceremony in New Orleans in May 2013. The couple welcomed daughter Maverick on October 15, 2013, and son Bowen on May 13, 2022. Amell has hosted several fundraising campaigns on Represent.com. In 2014, he raised close to $1 million for the charitable organization Fuck Cancer after selling more than 60,000 t-shirts in support of the charity. In 2015, Stephen launched a Represent.com campaign featuring the word "Sinceriously" (a word he made up) to raise funds for the mental health organizations Stand For the Silent and Paws and Stripes. Later that year, he used a "WWE Raw" appearance to raise $300,000 for Emily's House, a Toronto children's hospice.
During the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, Amell received criticism after he said, "Racism is a systemic problem, but I'm not as familiar with it just because I haven't seen it in action, personally. Obviously, I see the video of George Floyd being murdered by white police officers, I remember the Trayvon Martin case, and all the things that have been happening. Although most of that, for me personally, has been overshadowed by gun violence. That's the big thing that's difficult for me to wrap my head around, moving to the States, simply because that doesn't happen in Canada. At all. Ever." In 2021, he was asked to leave a Delta flight after he got into an argument with his wife before takeoff. Amell tweeted about the incident, writing, "My wife and I got into an argument Monday afternoon on a Delta flight from Austin to LA. I was asked to lower my voice and I did. Approximately 10 minutes later I was asked to leave the flight. And I did so immediately. I was not forcibly removed."

Amell has been nominated for 10 Teen Choice Awards, winning for Choice TV Actor: Action for "Arrow" in 2019.
