Here are the movies Roman Reigns has worked on over the years of his professional career. Some of them you may know while others may shock you.

Johnson, Roman’s real-life cousin, had a field time with family on set. As the loveable Fast and Furious series character Hobbs, Dwayne Johnson held command over his Samoan brothers in one part of the movie.

The most prominent of the group was Roman Reigns, who had multiple appearances in fight scenes with and without his cousin. The two shared a lot of light-hearted moment on-set, and will surely make a good pair in the future. Maybe we’ll get to see Reigns as the villain next time?

2. “The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania!” (2017)  As Roman Reigns

This cartoon rendition of WWE Superstars features Big Show as one of the main characters. However, this Big Show is a heel and is dead set on taking revenge on Vince Mcmahon.

The story goes into the future where WWE takes place using robots, and here we see Roman Reigns along with The Usos, Alicia Fox, ad Sheamus. They have to stop Big Show from taking over the city with robots and retrying everything.

Reigns helps the squad to work their way through while Sheamus delivers a final Brogue Kick to Show, ending the fiasco. This is a fun movie to watch, but at some point, you have to feel bad for Big Show- How many times can he possibly end up on the ring mat?

3. “The Wrong Missy” (2020) as Tatted Meathead

Roman Reigns had a short appearance on Netflix’s Original Movie ‘The Wrong Missy’ which released in 2020. 

Tim Morris (David Spade) thought that a random woman at the bar was his date. He approached her asking her to join him at the table. However, the woman was pregnant and was sitting with- Roman Reigns!

Morris still believed she was his date and asked Roman Reigns to back off before he makes a scene. Reigns then stood up in all of his height and muscular physique, making Morris realise he couldn’t really do anything in that situation. Reigns then asked Morris to step away from his wife!

Melissa (Lauren Lapkus) then showed up, letting Morris know that she was his date. The two awkwardly walked off. Reigns had never looked more dominant, well at least until his return to SmackDown.

4. “Rumble” (2020)

This film is a big animation project set to release in 2021. Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch both have been cast for the movie. Rumble is about a manager who tries to follow her father’s footsteps and make an amateur wrestler into the best in the business.

The movie is set in a world where monsters are civilised and they all love watching wrestling. The plot revolves around this theme and is expected to be a true underdog to the champion story.

While we do know who plays the main characters, Reigns and Becky’s roles are yet to be announced. They will be doing voice-overs of their respective characters.

5.Countdown (2016) as Cameo 

This movie featured the entire WWE roster at the time, at least it looks like it. Dolph Ziggler was the star of the show while Kane plays a Lieutenant in a race against time to stop explosives from going off in a city. 

Although not much can be said about Reigns’ role, we know for a fact that he was in the background as a bystander along with other Superstars Jimmy and Jey Uso, Mark Henry, Santino, Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley), Heath Slater, Daniel Bryan, Big Show, Curtis Axel, Randy Orton, Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Sin Cara, Konnor, Viktor, Rusev (Miro), Lana, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman!

That is quite the cast to have at your disposal. 

Roman Reigns will surely make his way into Hollywood in the near future. After he feels that his already legendary career at WWE has run its course, there’s no doubt that he would want to follow in the footsteps of his cousin Dwayne Johnson.

Of course, he may have to change his actor gimmick. The film set is not a place where you wreck everyone and leave.
