Can Roman Reigns be a mainstream star outside of WWE or is it too late?

i could see Xavier Woods getting into comedy movies out of anybody breaking into the mainstream.
Imagine if they cast The New Day to play the roles of Full Force in the upcoming LeBron's House Party remake?

Xavier: You know what I smell... I smell p*ssy :stopitslime:
Kofi: I bet you do :sas1:
Big E: :pachaha:

He should just change his name to @Kevin_Nash ..he has his whole steez...especially with all the "dumb smark" "fat neckbeard" talk :sas2:

While I appreciate the support from him and have clearly influenced his new posting style, I'm not trying to take it overboard. I focus my energy on the finer things in life, like $600 bottles of rare Cab or laughing at new ways that @Scott_Steiner whores himself out for a paycheck.

I disagree. I'm pretty sure you can ask anyone walking on the streets who John Cena is, and they'd be able to recognize him. If you said Batista, then I would completely agree but Cena is pretty big.
Ask your mom who John Cena is. Probably has no idea. :yeshrug:

I never even heard of Fast 4 until Fast 5 got their hook.
lol Fast 4 was a big hit based on the gimmick of the original cast returning, Vin Diesel billed first. Largest gross of the franchise up to that point and they never would have continued making all the other sequels had it not made a bunch of money.

Vin Diesel did not have several hit movies by 2001. That furious stuff started that year. Rock was opening in Mummy Returns at over 70 million first week May 01. That was a month before Fast and the Furious.
:dead: You always do this. Mummy Returns was not Rock's film. He was a supporting character and half the time he was represented by a god awful CGI character, which is the most memorable thing about that film.

Why play yourself? Rock was the only actor given a sequel though. Lol. And that went #1 and had the biggest April opening ever until the comic book movie era.

Roman seems like a nice laid back dude and that's it. He just doesn't have a booming personality to take off like that. Batista didn't have some huge booming personality, but he had a presence about him and had all types of swag. Reigns is kinda swagless tbh.
