Fans quickly speculated that Roman Reigns is finally going to be the next in line after Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Sasha Banks to make a name for himself in Hollywood. This is an obvious guess that anyone can make out, as Reigns has already worked on some acting projects.
The Tribal Chief is the top WWE superstar right now and fans are not ready to see him leave the company this early. Moreover, WWE will need to make new top stars ready if Reigns leaves the company.

This fan said, “Do wonder if this was always the plan for him to pull a rock and leave WWE for Hollywood vs how much that shoulder injury at WM is influencing matters. Depth chart looking bleak either way. Better strap a rocket to Bron Breakker like right now.”
