Stephen Amell is probably regretting starting a feud with one of the most famous professional wrestlers of recent years.

The “Arrow” star reacted Tuesday on Twitter to the news that Dave Bautista and Triple H will be facing off in the ring at WWE’s WrestleMania 35, saying that he’s “pumped for the match,” but worried the match will be overshadowed by the wrestler’s celebrity.

Just landed and found out about @DaveBautista v @TripleH — Really pumped for the match but also don’t want to see a celebrity angle detract from an awesome wrestling card. 😶

Well, Bautista saw Amell’s sentiment and was not happy about the implication that being a celebrity and movie star might take away from his wrestling cred.

Considering that celebrity could actually fuck someone up, and that celebrity is a former 6x heavyweight champ, and that celebrity is there because he loves it, maybe it just adds to the card. Maybe. https://t.co/RGztvWphiQ

Later that day, Amell responded to Bautista, apologizing for the implication of his original tweet and asking, “Please don’t kill me.”

Hey Dave — I went out of my way to introduce myself to you in Atlanta at a convention so I could tell you what a big fan of yours I am. You couldn't have been more pleasant. My tweet was meant to poke fun at me. It clearly wasn't funny. Please don't kill me. https://t.co/eCrMVdCi27
