WWE exec says Hollywood is calling Roman Reigns: Is he the next Dwyane ‘The Rock’ Johnson?

Somebody find a new action-hero script … and fast!

WWE CEO Nick Khan says wrestling star Roman Reigns is headed for Hollywood — which has already made Reigns’ cousin, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson into a megastar.

“We think there’s a path for him there. We think there are some opportunities there,” Khan told the Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast. “There are a lot of conversations going on. We fully support that. But Roman is staying in with us as well. If it happens, which we think it has a good shot at happening, hey, we’re excited for him.”

But before they star in a movie together, the cousins might battle it out in the squared circle.

According to Fox News:

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been rumored to be making a WWE return to face off against his cousin Roman Reigns in what could be one of the most interesting matches in recent memory.

And while the noise around the potential had been quieted in the weeks and months leading up to WrestleMania 39, Johnson teased a possible confrontation with Reigns and the rest of The Bloodline faction in a video posted to his Twitter account after the first night of the event.

The Rock congratulated those involved in the first night of WrestleMania and gave a shoutout to his daughter, known as Ava Raine on NXT, for her performance at Stand & Deliver earlier in the day. As he addressed the performers in the ring, he made one interesting remark about Reigns and the rest of his family.

“It is in our blood and, who knows, maybe just maybe down the road, I’ll see you in person,” he said raising The People’s Eyebrow. “I’ll just leave it at that.”
