Roman Reigns has some big crossover plans on the way, so we’ll see what’s going
on there.
We’ll also take a look what Sasha Banks had to reveal about an unscripted moment,
possible names for Edge, and much more
Let’s start things off with the crossover talk for Roman Reigns
There’s already been so many crossover stars from WWE that have went onto become huge stars
in the Hollywood scene
The Rock, John Cena, and Batista just to name a few
But there’s a lot of current superstars that appear to have a bright future on the
way for their post-WWE careers
Those names being superstars like Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and
many more
These are some of WWE’s biggest stars and we’ve already seen what they can do as actors
as well
Sasha had her Mandalorian role, Becky and Alexa have guest starred on some TV series,
and Roman did work for an animated movie and so much more
And the conversation with these big crossover potential superstars is how it’ll only be
a matter of time before Hollywood steals them over for good
Like we went over earlier in the week, it’s something that’s on Sasha’s mind right
now as well because she said doing both is very stressful, so she wants to select just
one
Another star expected to make this leap at one point is obviously Roman Reigns
WWE President, Nick Khan, recently spoke with The Town about the conversation of Roman Reigns
crossing over to Hollywood
Khan said that WWE has plans in place to help Roman cross over and thinks the process of
working with Roman to get him there will be great
So that’s WWE’s Hollywood plans right there for Roman from the WWE President himself
They’re going to help put Roman out there when the time comes and for him to hopefully
be picked for some big projects outside of the WWE
And you can basically look at his Tribal Chief run as him showcasing what he has to offer
Like Roman even told ESPN recently, the tribal chief character took inspiration from lead
characters in The Godfather, The Sopranos, and all these other Mafia movies and shows
because that’s what he wanted to play
And one thing that has been elite from start to current day is the entire general story
surrounding this version of Roman Reigns and his character portrayal
His character is very mafia-boss like because he’s respected, he’s feared, and he’s
pretty much unpredictable.
There’s no saying how Roman could react to a certain event, it basically depends on
how he’s feeling that day
So we’ve seen great character portrayal and storytelling from Roman since his return
and it’ll be interesting to see how that converts over to some Hollywood projects sometime
down the line

Sasha Banks was recently a guest on Logan Paul’s podcast and opened up about an unscripted
moment that happened several years ago during the performance center era for WWE
This all went down during Extreme Rules 2020, it was Sasha Banks versus Aus-ka.
Everything was going find until Sasha heard a rip from the top of her head, she had this
to say about that story, quote:
"I'll tell you the worst thing that has ever happened with my hair.
I think it was Extreme Rules 2020 — it's the end of this match with Asuka.
Asuka is one of our top superstars.
She’s just the best.
We're fighting back and forth.
Then she rolls me up, and I just hear this rip.
I just feel like the wind touching my braids.
I feel like my braids are exposed.
My whole closure ripped in half, and now it's dangling over my face [during] a live pay-per-view.
It was awful.
The next thing you know, I'm just going, 'I have to finish the match.'
I finish the match, and I'm on the floor.
I'm looking at my tag team partner Bayley.
I'm like, 'Help me!’
She's pulling my wig down, and she just goes, 'I can’t’”.
end quote
Fans have gone back to Extreme Rules 2020 and discovered that you can literally see
everything Sasha was taking about
After the match ended and they’re both outside of the ring, you can see Bayley trying her
best to pull Sasha’s hair down in place but it doesn’t budge
Then in the picture that WWE posted to their Instagram from Extreme Rules that year, Sasha
had a towel over head and no one really knew the reasoning behind that towel until now
She posed with the towel over her head because of that wig rip that had happened during that
Aus-ka match earlier in the night
As far as an update for Sasha Banks in current day, she is now at the start of her tag team
title reign with Naomi
It’s a record-tying third overall tag team title reign for Sasha, tied with Nikki A.S.H
Now historically speaking, Sasha’s tag team title reigns have always been followed him
with big stories and moments
The end of Sasha’s first tag team title reign had us introduced to Sasha’s “Blue
Print” persona and massive makeover her overall character
The end of her second tag team title reign marked the beginning of the end of her on-screen
friendship with Bayley and led to their feud
So as you can see, big things happen for Sasha every time she loses the tag team titles
So it’ll be interesting to what happens now with this tag team with Naomi
Like we always talk about for when it comes to teams splitting up, you have the obvious
choice to turn heel and then the unexpected choice to turn heel
In this case, Sasha Banks is definitely the expected heel turn.
We’ve seen Sasha turn on several tag team partners in the past, so it just fits her
character’s persona and history to turn her back on her partner
But the unexpected heel turn choice here would be Naomi.
Naomi has been this ultimate underdog babyface and no one really expects her to be the one
to end things with Sasha, so that’ll be a surprise
So that’s really the only two obvious routes to take Sasha and Naomi in, one of them would
have to turn on the other down the line and that could lead a great story and great match,
so that will be exciting

The popular conversation this week has been about the possible new members for Edge’s
faction
The member that seems to be well on her way to Edge at the moment is Rhea Ripley
The topic of Rhea joining Edge came from the same individuals who said Damian Priest was
joining Edge, so they’ve had some accurate reports so far for when it comes to Edge’s
group
Then we discussed the idea of Alexa Bliss joining Edge as a way for her to fix her own
issues and fit in with this new group
Another name that’s being discussed by fans to join Edge is Finn Balor
A few years ago in NXT, we saw a ruthless heel version of Finn Balor that took over
and just demanded your attention
Then when Finn returned to the main roster in summer 2021, he seemed to have that same
vibe to him, he said that he wasn’t going to just be smiling and letting opportunities
pass him anymore
And he was able to capture the United States title, but he’s still losing several matches
and it just feels like something is still missing there
So could Finn be another good candidate for Edge’s group as well, possibly as a way
for us to get that ruthless heel version of Finn Balor back?
Finn has never been a heel on the WWE main roster, so it definitely would be something
new for fans who never seen heel Finn in NXT
So there’s a lot of potential for everything with Edge’s group, so we’ll have to see
who gets added to it after all
