In the past, the idea of a wrestler becoming a successful actor was not common in the wrestling world. However, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson paved the way for WWE wrestlers to make the transition to Hollywood. The Rock has appeared in numerous movies, including major blockbusters, and has become one of the most prominent actors of his generation. Following his lead, Batista and John Cena have also ventured into acting and achieved success.

Several WWE wrestlers have expressed their interest in Hollywood and possess the necessary skills to pursue acting careers.
