Roman Reigns Wants To Continue Pursuing Acting Career Outside WWE

The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is ruling the Island of Relevancy with an iron fist. Reigns, flanked by The Bloodline, has been unstoppable and has become the biggest marquee attraction since John Cena’s days as the poster boy of the company. However, it looks like Reigns has plans similar to Cena in the future once his WWE aspirations come to an end.

Roman Reigns was positioned to become the next flagship star right after his debut in WWE NXT in 2012. He came to prominence as a part of The Shield alongside Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley. After the stable disbanded in 2014, Reigns went on to become an accomplished singles competitor. However, a change in persona in 2020 changed the game for Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns returned to WWE after a hiatus at SummerSlam 2020, donning a new gimmick of the ruthless Tribal Chief. He then began adding his family, The Usos, Paul Heyman, Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa in the process of forming the most dominant faction on Friday Night SmackDown, The Bloodline.

The Head of the Table is currently enjoying his 800+day reign as champion, with The Bloodline watching his back. Reigns has seemingly done everything, but says that he is in the middle of his career and the end is still far away. However, WWE co-CEO Nick Khan had previously teased that they have “big plans” to help Roman carve out a path to Hollywood, if that’s where he wishes to journey next. Reigns spoke about this on The Ringer.

“That’s something I want to dabble in and gain more experience. I want to use these tools that I’ve learned. [Wrestling] is a young man’s game. You can’t fall down your whole life. You have to get to a point where you can transition and continue to connect and create new fresh and evolved content for your fanbase and supporters. I think I have the ability to do that. I have a pretty good track record with being thrown into the deep end. If that’s what happens in Hollywood, I’m going to swim.”

Roman Reigns made his Hollywood debut in Fast and Furious presents: Hobbs and Shaw, starring his cousin, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. The Tribal Chief is currently scheduled to lead the Bloodline against The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Butch and Ridge Holland), Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens in a War Games match at WWE Survivor Series.
