Normally the gladiators did not rise up from under the Colosseum. They paraded in through a gate. However, in some instances, such as a wild animal hunt, they could possibly have risen up from the floor as a piece of dramatic stagecraft. The "basement" of the Colosseum had elevators to raise the various types of scenery and the wild animals and there's no reason to think that they could not be used by men as well.
The Colosseum was full of tunnels and cells beneath the arena and seating which could hold men and animals until they were needed. The floor of the arena was scattered with many hidden trapdoors, accessed by elevators and ramps from these underground rooms. The gladiators could thereby 'miraculously' appear on the sands, thereby adding suspense and drama to the performance.

Why were the games played in the coliseum used in Roman Society?
Public entertainment was provided in huge venues, the most famous of which was the Colosseum in Rome. The entertainment took the form of combat, and people called gladiators fought each other, or wild animals like lions, to the death. Generally, gladiators were condemned criminals, prisoners of war, or slaves. Professional gladiators were free men who volunteered to participate in the games. Gladiators were paid each time they fought. Criminals who had been found guilty of murder and condemned to death went into combat without weapons. When one of the gladiators in a contest was wounded, the crowd went wild. If one of the gladiators felt he was defeated, he would raise his left hand with one finger extended. This was to ask for mercy. It is believed that the crowd voted for death or to spare him by signalling with their thumbs: thumbs up and the gladiator lived, thumbs down and his opponent was to kill him.
