As WWE continues to gain more traction in mainstream pop culture, some of the company’s top stars are reportedly headed for Hollywood.
While The Rock, John Cena and Batista have all managed to leverage their careers in WWE into Hollywood success, there are more set to follow in their footsteps.
Here are eight more WWE stars that seem likely to be headed for Hollywood soon.
8. Liv Morgan
After having a remarkable year in WWE, it seems that Liv Morgan may already be the next WWE star to feature in a major movie role.
Morgan is on the verge of being announced for a major Hollywood project that is reportedly set to raise her mainstream profile in a big way.
Sources have even indicated that Morgan could become the next “it girl” in Hollywood if everything with this upcoming project goes well.
Big things are ahead for Liv Morgan and a future in Hollywood seems to be all but certain.

7. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is seemingly set for big things in Hollywood sooner rather than later.
Likely the next WWE star to be cast in a major acting role, McIntyre is already leveraging his star power to be the face of a marketing campaign.
Drew McIntyre is the latest face of The Rock’s Under Armor collection, Project Rock.
With the demonstrated ability to portray a range of roles from comedic to very serious and menacing, McIntyre likely has a big future ahead outside of WWE.

6. Damian Priest
Playing a range of roles already in WWE has proven that whether he is good or evil, Damian Priest is compelling to watch.
Also showing off his personality in appearances as well as his WWE 24 documentary, Priest has demonstrated his real emotional connection with fans.
Well suited for a major film project, it would make total sense to see Damian Priest be another WWE star to make the leap into movies.
He has even revealed that he was originally set for a role in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, an opportunity that “got taken away from him”.

5. Tiffany Stratton
Another top star in WWE that is currently signed to well known talent agency Paradigm is Tiffany Stratton.
While she is currently the WWE Women’s Champion, Stratton could have her sights set on more goals in the future outside of the company.
The ‘buff Barbie’ seems to be perfect for Hollywood stardom, and has already gained a following on social media from documenting her day-to-day life as a WWE star.
Whether her future were in reality TV or acting projects, it seems that Tiffany Stratton will definitely be a star on the rise in the years to come – both inside and outside WWE.

4. Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss made her thunderous return to WWE at the 2025 Royal Rumble and then went on to compete in the Elimination Chamber match, signaling that she was back in the top tier of the WWE women’s division.
Having shown off her acting abilities in the past, Bliss made appearances for several seasons of the WWE reality show Total Divas before starring as a main cast member during season 7.
She has also starred in Bowling for Soup’s music video for their song titled – in homage – “Alexa Bliss”.
Bliss’ aforementioned Rumble return reportedly gained the attention of Hollywood, so she is at least on the radar as a potential future movie star.

3. Rusev
After being out of sight for over a year, former AEW star Miro returned to his roots in WWE and resumed wrestling under his former name Rusev at the Raw after WrestleMania.
Although he just made his return to WWE, Rusev is already reportedly signed with Paradigm talent agency.
Able to exercise his acting chops in addition to his literal chops, Rusev could be another WWE star set to follow in the footsteps of The Rock and John Cena in taking on Hollywood.
Also recently reuniting with her WWE roots, Rusev’s real life wife CJ Perry – known as Lana in WWE – has signed both with Paradigm and a Legends deal with WWE.

2. Jade Cargill
Jade Cargill’s look, athleticism and aura make it hard to imagine that she won’t be headed for Hollywood sooner rather than later.
After her run in AEW, the former TBS Champion’s star power has only grown since she has signed with WWE.
With a natural star quality, Jade Cargill seems like an obvious pick to eventually crossover into mainstream acting and/or modeling as the face of a major campaign.
Also similarly to everyone else on this list, Cargill is represented by Paradigm talent agency – but there is one top WWE star who is represented by another agency…

1. Cody Rhodes
One top WWE star who has seemingly had sights on Hollywood for decades already is former Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.
Despite his recent big loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 41, Rhodes remains very much a sought after face of WWE and is likely soon to expand into more mainstream roles.
With his connection to the broader zeitgeist already connected to The Rock, it would make sense to see Rhodes pop up in any Seven Bucks related project, or perhaps most appropriately, in a Disney or Marvel role.
Rhodes is represented by WME, the talent agency owned by WWE parent company, Endeavor.
