5 WWE Stars Who Will Leave For Hollywood (& 5 Who Are Wrestlers For Life)

The Rock paved the way for WWE wrestlers to go to Hollywood. He has starred in several movies, including a handful of major films, and has arguably become one of the biggest actors of his generation. Batista and John Cena followed in his footsteps, and are also having successful careers.

There are a few WWE wrestlers who could join The Rock, John Cena and Batista, as they have expressed interest in going to Hollywood, and have the tools necessary to pursue an acting career. On the other hand, there are also wrestlers who are not interested in acting and prefer to stay in the wrestling industry. Without further ado, let's take a look at five WWE stars who will leave for Hollywood, and five who are wrestlers for life.

10 Will Leave For Hollywood: Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is already filming his first major movie, as he is part of the cast of the upcoming Marvel movie Captain America, and yes, he will play a villain. So, one would expect that this will be the first of several movies Rollins will be working on. We're talking about a guy who has always done great character work in WWE, and who can cut promos naturally, so he should excel in that movie. And if he does, then Rollins will likely leave for Hollywood in the future.

9 Wrestler For Life: AJ Styles

AJ Styles loves wrestling and is likely to be a wrestler for life. It is not certain for how many years he will continue to wrestle, but it is very likely that he will finish his career as a full-time wrestler and then go home to rest. AJ has never shown any interest in going to Hollywood, and frankly it's hard to imagine him in a movie. He's more of a guy who prefers to spend time with his family and relax away from the cameras.

8 Will Leave For Hollywood: Becky Lynch

Seth Rollins' wife, Becky Lynch, will most likely be heading to Hollywood as well. She is interested in acting and has already made appearances in a couple of movies and a few shows. Becky came close to getting a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the end it didn't work out, but that's a door that's still open. The Man is one of the best female talkers in WWE history, and her character work is always great. So, Lynch has the star power and talent to succeed in Hollywood.

7 Wrestler For Life: Finn Balor

Becky Lynch's friend Finn Balor is a big fan of gaming and comic books, but taking his career to Hollywood is not something he is passionate about. Balor's real passion is wrestling, in fact, his co-workers often say that he is one of the most passionate wrestlers on the roster. So, it seems there is no way Finn Balor is leaving wrestling for Hollywood.

6 Will Leave For Hollywood: Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss admitted that she would like to go to Hollywood and work on the big screen, and it is likely that she will do so and be successful. Bliss has the looks and the talent to found success in Hollywood.

We're talking about a woman who has always cut good promos and has always done impeccable character work, especially with her supernatural gimmicks. With that being said, it's likely we'll be seeing Alexa Bliss on the big screen in a few years.

5 Wrestler For Life: Gunther

Gunther retains his Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 39

Gunther is right now 100% focused on his wrestling career, which could end up being remarkable if he continues to be on fire like last year. Considering his talent, it could be said that Gunther was a latecomer to WWE's main roster (at 34 years of age), and now he has no time to waste in Hollywood, but will work hard to dominate the wrestling industry and prove that he is a generational talent.

4 Will Leave For Hollywood: Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley is just getting started. Certainly, she is already a Grand Slam Champion and is one of the best female wrestlers today, but she is only 26 years old, so her era of dominance is just beginning.

So, The Eradicator doesn't have time for movies right now, but she admitted that in the future she wants to go to Hollywood, and she even knows what movies she wants to be involved in. "It would have to be action or horror, I don't think I could really do anything else, but I've definitely thought about it," Ripley said on the Cheap Heat Podcast.

3 Wrestler For Life: Charlotte Flair

Some haters say Charlotte Flair is in WWE because of her father, and maybe nepotism does exist in wrestling, but Charlotte has proven that she loves wrestling as much as her father does. She is proud to be Ric Flair's daughter, and she wants to continue to make the legacy of her family name greater. The Queen loves to dominate and loves to be on top of the mountain, so she will be a wrestler for life.

2 Will Leave For Hollywood: Roman Reigns

It is very likely that Roman Reigns will follow in The Rock's footsteps and become a Hollywood star. The Tribal Chief is the greatest wrestler in the world today, his star power is unmatched, and that opens the doors to Hollywood. Plus, Reigns does impeccable character work, which makes it clear that he would make a very good actor. It seems imminent that Reigns will leave WWE for Hollywood.

1 Wrestler For Life: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has never shown any interest in going to Hollywood. In fact, he has never participated in a movie or a non-wrestling TV show. KO simply focuses 100% on his job, he always gives his best in every match and every segment because his priority is to entertain the fans. Owens loves wrestling, and it is likely that he will be a wrestler for life.
