Will we see one of Hollywood's biggest actors enter the WWE ring one day?
Will we see one of Hollywood's biggest actors enter the WWE ring one day?

From Arnold Schwarzenegger to Kim Kardashian, we have seen several Hollywood celebrities appear in the WWE ring in some capacity and get a great reaction from the WWE Universe. Stephen Amell appeared to team up with Neville in a match, while Hugh Jackman has appeared in a segment involving Zack Ryder and Dolph Ziggler. This helps the company get more eyeballs on its product from the casual fans while giving new projects of the celebrities some more exposure.

WWE relies on several big names to appear on its Big 4 pay-per-views to either compete or host an event like WrestleMania.

With WWE constantly indulging in new ventures to entertain the people, such as partner with Netflix to release 'The Big Show Show' and 'The Main Event', they are looking to attract more viewers to tune into their shows.

We've seen several WWE Superstars become big Hollywood stars, and some who could make it big in Hollywood someday.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

In this article, we will take a look at 5 Hollywood celebrities who we would love to see inside the WWE ring someday.


#5 Jimmy Fallon

While Jimmy Fallon has done everything from stand-up comedy to appearing in Hollywood movies and even hosting his popular television show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he's done something no other host has done. He's taken a bodyslam through the desk from Triple H, gotten fish slapped and used as deadweight by John Cena, and fed candy to Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson.

Just like Jon Stewart appeared at SummerSlam 2015, we could see Fallon appear as a guest referee during a match in WWE at a big event. With Fallon's star popularity, we could see a lot more people tune in to watch the show.

Fallon is no stranger to the WWE Universe, and he could even appear in the ring to pick up a fight with a heel like Sami Zayn or The Miz and get some help from a babyface like Braun Strowman or Roman Reigns to get a massive pop from the crowd.

#4 Terry Crews

Produced by WWE Studios, along with several other studios, Rumble is a movie where humans and monsters coexist. In the movie, the monsters compete in a popular professional wrestling global sport called Monster Wrestling.

Popular Hollywood actor Will Arnett will lend his voice to the lead character Steve in the animated movie. We will also see Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch lend their voice for a couple of characters.

Terry Crews will do the voice for the villain in the movie, Tentacular. Tentacular is a shark-headed tentacled monster who is the reigning Monster Wrestling Champion.

Rumble is expected to release sometime in Royal Rumble in 2021, and we will watch the company push the marketing for the movie to make it a big success.

Will Crews come to the ring to take back his last name from Apollo Crews? Well, we could actually see that happen one day as WWE pushes to get the most out of the movie and the stars involved.

This could bring the extremely fit and hilarious Crews to the ring where we could see him get involved in a storyline with one or more Superstars and compete or guest referee in the ring.

Crews is a big hit among the young and old, and we could see the Hollywood star throw a few punches around no matter what role it is.

#3 Ellen DeGeneres

The voice of Dory and one host of The Ellen Show, Ellen DeGeneres is by far one of the biggest names in Hollywood. You’ve seen The Undertaker interrupt Ellen on her show, Ronda Rousey show her how to “mean mug”, and John Cena arm wrestle kids and host EllenMania 35.

However, you’ve never seen Ellen appear in WWE in any capacity so far. Ellen is very close to several former and current WWE Superstars, and she has always hosted the top men and women in the business.

With WrestleMania 37 being held in Hollywood, WWE will be looking for someone to host the show and make it even grander than it already is every year. Ellen has hosted the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, and the Primetime Emmys, and she could be the next choice for the WWE as a host for their Show of Shows.

We could see Ellen appear in the WWE ring sooner than later as a host.

#2 Vin Diesel

One Hollywood star who is built like a true WWE Superstar is none other than Vin Diesel. Known as one of the toughest men in the industry, we’ve seen Diesel perform in some of the biggest action movies in Hollywood and take the industry by storm.

Even at the age of 52, he looks much younger and fitter than many men half his age, and he has managed to build a solid image in the world of entertainment.

What sets Diesel apart from many other actors in Hollywood is the fact that he has worked alongside current and former WWE Superstars in some of the biggest movies. He has worked with Dywane “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena in the Fast & Furious franchise, and Batista in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.

With that in mind, we could see Diesel get inspired by the former World Champions of WWE who’ve made the switch to the world of acting and try his luck in the WWE ring someday. While it is too late for Vin to do anything long term, he could appear for a short rivalry with someone like King Corbin and a match at WrestleMania 37 as the event will be held in Hollywood.

Having Diesel in the ring will work well for both the WWE and the actor.

#1 Alison Brie

The star of Netflix's wrestling inspired show GLOW is one woman who has seriously learned some moves in the ring. The series, that is loosely based on the characters and gimmicks of the 1980s syndicated women's professional wrestling circuit, the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW), is led by Brie as Zoya the Destroya in the ring.

The series has appealed to several wrestling fans along with people who are no really into wrestling itself. However, we've seen Brie get trained by Chavo Guerrero, and she seems to be someone who could actually compete in a real wrestling match one day.

GLOW has renewed for a fourth and final season, and will release sometime this year. To promote the final season of the show, we could see the new partnership between Netflix and WWE bring Brie to the ring to compete against someone like Lana.

We've seen the two women backstage on an episode of SmackDown, and WWE could think of bringing Brie to the ring for SummerSlam to take on Lana just in time for GLOW's final season's release.

Several former and current WWE Superstars have appeared in GLOW, and we could watch a few more cameos in the final season too to get some more eyes on the show and WWE.
