Triple H has named several WWE stars who should be considered real-life superheroes.
In recent years, more and more wrestling stars have gone onto have successful careers in Hollywood, particularly in superhero movies. Dave Bautista is now synonymous with Guardians of the Galaxy’s Drax the Destroyer, while The Rock recently took on the title role in Black Adam, and John Cena‘s Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad was granted his own TV series.
During an appearance on The Roommates Show, Paul Levesque spoke about pro wrestlers becoming mainstream in Hollywood, especially for action and superhero roles.
“Wrestling is accepted now. If somebody goes and does a movie or TV film, it’s so accepted to where it’s not, ‘What’s this wrestler doing in this movie?’ Now, they can sort of fit in and people are more accepted of it.”
The Game went on to name Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley among stars he thinks can be considered superheroes.
“I think over the years, you’ll see some of that. Guys like Roman Reigns, and some of our women too. Rhea Ripley or people like that. Especially with action movies and the superhero genre, if Rhea Ripley is not a superhero, I’m not sure who is. Bianca Belair is another. Jade Cargill. If they’re not superheroes, what is?”
