Reigns never will make it. Jason is already there with talent and charisma which Roman has neither. Alexa, Kofi , Finn have crossover appeal.
Rusev also.
That’s it.
lol that's not how a major hollywood crossover works unfortunately.

plus jason has like a decade on reigns.

edit: actually it's only 5 years. :ehh:

i still never saw cena having crossover appeal after the marine, but shoving someone down peoples throats for 15 years does something to the public.


miz will still crossover first as an actor though.

unless one of the dudes who already left wwe to do acting (barrett?) does.

If we're going by that list I would say Xavier and it's because he's built up a platform and fanbase outside the WWE already and got a lane he can fill. He's got that Alfred Enoch/Donald Glover attractive, nerdy, but "interesting" Black guy swag going for him. I can totally see him starting with guest roles on a show like Insecure and then building his resume up from there.

You gotta remember, the people who "broke out" did so by finding an open lane and bringing their something special to it. They also, generally speaking, had established a presence outside the WWE and wrestling fanbase.

Miz is an interesting case because I feel like he's already a tv guy, but not necessarily a Hollywood guy. I can definitely see him doing his show with Maryse and flipping that into a morning co-host type gig or entertainment news show like Extra but I don't see him doing a bunch of movies. The thing about Miz is he's a decent actor, but he's a great personality. Miz is a dude who could make a massive amount of bank and be very successful going the Ryan Seacrest/Micheal Strahan route.

It would be someone like Adam Cole or Tino Sabatelli if were talking starring roles. It's still Hollywood and the classic "white boy" still gonna eat there. :dame:

if we're talking someone being on that Batista level, supporting cast/goon in some a-list movies then I could the people yall talkin bout.
