WWE has always been home to larger-than-life athletes, but now, some stars are making a name for themselves beyond the ring. Many wrestlers, like The Rock, John Cena, and Batista, have successfully transitioned to Hollywood.
WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, recently praised current superstars as “real-life superheroes” for their Hollywood potential. And he picked Roman Reigns from the men’s division and Rhea Ripley from the women’s division.
In an interview on ‘The Roommates Show’, Triple H talked about how people are getting used to seeing wrestlers in movies and TV shows. He said that Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley are the types of characters made for the big screen.
He said, “I think over the years, you’ll see some of that. Guys like Roman Reigns, and some of our women too. Rhea Ripley or people like that. Especially with action movies and the superhero genre, if Rhea Ripley is not a superhero, I’m not sure who is.”
WWE to Book CM Punk vs Roman Reigns for WM 41
As WrestleMania 41 gets closer, there’s a lot of talk about possible matches, but the main event plans are still unclear. With The Rock probably not part of it, WWE is looking at other options for its top stars.
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns has been discussed internally as a WWE WrestleMania 41 match, @FightfulSelect has learned.

One idea they’re talking about is a match between CM Punk and Roman Reigns, according to Fightful Select. Even though Punk and Reigns had problems before, especially with Reigns not wanting Punk back in WWE, things seem better after the Survivor Series.
Reports suggest that Punk really wants this match to happen.
