WWE Tag Team Champions Austin Theory and Grayson Waller are open to working in Hollywood. The two top superstars believe they have all the qualities needed to become movie stars.

Over the past few decades, several top WWE Superstars moved to Hollywood and became major stars, including The Rock, John Cena, and Batista. Many others have also expressed their desire to follow in their footsteps and try their hand at acting in movies and TV shows.

In a recent interview with Going Ringside, Waller and Theory were asked whether they were interested in a career in Hollywood. The latter responded, pointing out that there are no reasons Hollywood would not want them:

"As for us, you know, going on to Hollywood and stuff, I mean, why wouldn't Hollywood want us? Look at us, you know. Nobody looks like this. Nobody works like this, he said. [14:16 - 14:26]

WWE Tag Team Champions respect John Cena's Hollywood achievements

During the same interview, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller commented on John Cena's 'naked' appearance at the Oscars. Waller stated that although they dislike the 16-time world champion personally, they respected what he does in Hollywood.

The Australian star pointed out that Cena's openness to being 'the bu*t of the joke' is the reason why he has accomplished many things in Hollywood:

"I remember we were at a live event and it was on one of the TVs and it's fine. One thing about John, like, obviously, we both personally don't like him but that's a personal issue. But, like, professionally, like, he's not afraid to make himself look silly. He's happy to be the bu*t of the joke and I think that's a valuable position to be in and there's a reason why he's in so many things in Hollywood. And just because we don't like him personally doesn't mean we can't respect what he does professionally in Hollywood," he said.

While Austin Theory previously appeared as an extra on Spider-Man: Homecoming, Waller made a cameo on Young Rock. It would be interesting to see if the two WWE Superstars would later pursue an acting career.
