Roman Reigns Details Retirement and Hollywood Plans

Roman Reigns, WWE's top star, has announced plans to retire from wrestling within a few years, with his contract expiring after WrestleMania 42 in April 2026 but possibly wrestling for one or two years beyond that. He intends to pursue a selective Hollywood acting career, inspired by Quentin Tarantino's approach to project choice, and has already appeared in films like 'Hobbs & Shaw.' WWE officials, including Triple H and Nick Khan, recognize the major creative and commercial impact his departure will have. Reigns, nearing 40 and working a reduced schedule, is part of a broader generational shift as other veterans like John Cena also consider retiring. There is no indication that Reigns will pursue a political career, contrary to speculation. Fans are encouraged to appreciate his remaining appearances as his era in WWE concludes.
