Roman Reigns, a notable figure in WWE history, is currently taking a break from the organization. Since transitioning to a part-time role in 2022, he has continued to be a significant draw for the company. The possibility of Reigns pursuing an acting career in Hollywood has been suggested by former WWE writer Vince Russo. He drew parallels between Reigns and other wrestling legends like The Rock, who successfully made the leap from the ring to the big screen. Russo stated, “I really believe Roman Reigns’ future… is way, way beyond wrestling. I think he has every quality and everything that it takes.”
John Cena, a previous face of WWE, has already established himself in Hollywood, indicating that Reigns could be on a similar path. Cena is expected to retire from wrestling in December 2025, focusing solely on acting thereafter, following a planned series of appearances in WWE until his retirement.
As for Reigns, he has been out of action since April, following a surprising appearance on Raw after Wrestlemania 41. Fans can anticipate his return before SummerSlam 2025, where he is expected to reignite his rivalry with Seth Rollins, who recently defeated both Reigns and CM Punk at Wrestlemania 41.
This transition from wrestling to acting is an encouraging sign of how WWE superstars can evolve their careers, paving the way for opportunities beyond the ring. As fans await Reigns’ return, there remains a strong possibility for future successes in both wrestling and film.
