Former WWE Superstar Batista has improved as an actor since he took up the art seriously. While he was still relegated to supporting roles, he kept growing. He had a fitting part in the James Bond film, Spectre, but it was his breakout role as Drax in Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy that brought him mainstream attention. Even better, he got cast in a small but powerful role in Blade Runner 2049.

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 41%

Stuber was an attempt by former WWE Superstar Batista to go more of an action-comedy route with its r-rated fare and over-the-top buddy-cop exploits. Working alongside Kumail Nanjiani, this film was a throwback to the eighties movies like 48 hours or even recent fare like the Rush Hour franchise.

Audiences enjoyed the movie, but that didn't seem to translate into box-office success. The film only grossed $32 Million at the box office, but critics seemingly enjoyed the chemistry that Nanjiani and Batista enjoyed onscreen. On a side note, Kumail Nanjiani was at WWE WrestleMania 34 to cheer Batista in his final match against Triple H.

#7 Sheamus in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows - 37% (2016)

When the sequel to the Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was released, it's fair to say that fans were very excited about this one. This version had the same elements from the highly successful 1980s-1990s animated series with Krang and The Technodrone making an appearance and even fan-favorite henchmen Bebop, and WWE Superstar Sheamus as Rocksteady.

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 37%

To round off the cast, Arrow's Stephen Amell was cast as Casey Jones, and the film itself was a dream come true for most TMNT fans. While fans of the film enjoyed WWE's Sheamus in the role, the movie was not as successful as the first one pulling in a little under half the worldwide box office receipts at $245.6 Million.

It's unclear whether Sheamus sees himself as an actor going forward, or will continue to stay in WWE for the foreseeable future. At the time of the film's release, he expressed his interest in playing Venom and wanted to join the Marvel Universe and said:

“I want to be a part of the Marvel Universe,” Sheamus said. “I’m a big fan of the Marvel comics and The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but I would love to be a part of the Marvel Universe.”

In the entertainment world, whether it's movies or professional wrestling, never say never.
