Reigns significantly reduced his in-ring schedule in April 2022 after wrestling full-time for most of the last decade. He followed his real-life relative The Rock into acting in 2019, playing a small role in the Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw.
On the Strictly Business podcast, Bischoff agreed with host Jon Alba that the WWE Superstar could soon transition into Hollywood:
Reigns is arguably the biggest star in wrestling right now. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has not lost via pinfall in singles competition since Baron Corbin defeated him at TLC 2019.
Eric Bischoff briefly worked with Roman Reigns
In June 2019, then-WWE Chairman Vince McMahon hired Eric Bischoff as SmackDown’s Executive Director. During the former WCW executive’s unsuccessful four-month return, Roman Reigns was one of the biggest names on the blue brand.
Bischoff jokingly added that the former Shield member was inspired to get into wrestling after watching his WCW promos:
Reigns teamed up with Sami Zayn in a losing effort against Kevin Owens and the returning John Cena on SmackDown last week. His next televised title defense is reportedly set to take place at the Royal Rumble on January 28 (possible spoilers).
