Obviously there's The Rock, but with Cena and Batista's recent success, do you think there are other people in the WWE Hollywood might take a look at? Anyone you think would be successful?

I could see Braun playing a loveable giant or a henchmen in something.

I went through the list.
- Nia Jax. She'd easily fit in a mid-20s through mid-30s black sitcom or film. - Sasha Banks for the same reason as Nia. - Cedric Alexander. That boy would be THE guy the girls would go after in one of the previous films. - Becky Lynch. The foreign girl in a romantic comedy with puns who's adjusting to American life. She'd be great. - Big Show. Great actor. He can fully transition and wouldn't miss a step. - Braun. Similar to Big Show. - Bryan. His personality would shine through everything he does. I can see it. - Ambrose. He can play any role you need him to. - Usos. The homies on the block who are there to make sure there's no trouble. - Kevin Owens. Disgruntled dad upset at today's society but he's like "f*** it, as long as there's food on the table imma do my taxes." - Renee Young. Similar to Becky. - Titus O'Neil. If his IG post is any indication, he's heading for that. He's got the chops to pull it off.

Rollins would make a perfect greasy henchman for a mob boss in a crime or grounded superhero film.

Titus has been teasing that he's been cast in a Marvel role recently, so him. I'll also go with Sheamus, he was in the Turtles movie nd strikes me as someone who'll end up with a huge list of credits once his WWE career winds down.

I think Miz has a great shot given his look and the fact that he has a reality show lined up.

Nah, I can't really think of anyone Hollywood might want from WWE these days. /s

-Samoa Joe would be the boss of a gangster movie. Or as I said, in an alternative universe, The Kingpin -Becky is a Romcom star. As is Renee -The Revival are some heavies -Ambrose, action hero. But I can see the 3 Shield boys as some final henchmen or the protagonist gang. -Pete Dunne, Dickhead Detective -Apollo Crews: Hapless Comedy Protagonist -Asuka: Assassin or Chief Hench.

Shinsuke Nakamura as the star of a series of cheesy Z-grade kung fu movies, possibly involving Nakamura trying to possess something that once belonged to Bruce Lee. Alexa Bliss as one of the antagonist's group of mean girl sidekicks in a teen movie.

Dean has some potential. His size and look are suited for a violent drama. He can play a supporting role in a military movie, or perhaps something about organized crime. The types of movies Mark Wahlberg appears in. Dean would probably die 3/4 of the way through.
Eric Young has a unique voice and face. He can be cast playing crazies like his Sanity character.

I know it's blatant typecasting (and a bit of cheating since it's not Hollywood) but if Toei does a Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger reunion movie, Kairi Sane would make a great seventh Gokaiger.

I think a few guys could get steady work, but I don’t think there’s anybody who will get to The Rock or Dave Bautista’s level.
That said, I don’t think anybody would ever have guessed that The Rock would become the biggest box office draw in the world and that Dave Bautista would become an in-demand name, so who knows?
Certainly, I think The Miz could retire tomorrow and focus on acting. I don’t know how big the projects would be, but I think he could easily find work.

I always thought Big Show could do well in Hollywood if given the right material. Guy is funny and it's not like he hasn't acted before. Any idea on a superhero he could play? Did wonders for Batista.

Maybe its the Captain Insano connection, but I can picture Big Show joining the Happy Madison family when he decides to hang them up for good.

As somebody who could get consistent speaking roles in big-budget productions?
Sheamus and Alexa, depending on the genre.
I don't see anybody currently there as getting to Rock or Big Dave (thanks, Marvel) levels, though.
