For a lot of stars with in-ring charisma, WWE is never the last frontier. Their next challenge is always making it big in Hollywood. And some of these WWE stars have tasted immense success, like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena. In the process, they have also opened the doors of Hollywood for other wrestling stars who, to date, would just retire when they got older.

While there are stars like Seth Rollins who are also already shooting for big movies like Captain America, another ex-WWE superstar also has an upcoming movie project. We recently saw Sasha Banks in a recording session for her upcoming assassin movie.
