WWE wrestlers are more than just in-ring performs starting from the 2000s. They have justified the name of being sports entertainers by all means as some of them are all over the media including movies, red carpets, interviews, and many more such outlets.
The franchise player John Cena is one of them who has been continuing his Hollywood stint after leaving TV appearances on behalf of WWE for the past few years.

“It definitely has changed, and I think that rests on the already broad shoulders of Dwayne Johnson,” Cena said. “He just made it acceptable to be something other than your wrestling persona. If you look at the correlation of wrestlers or WWE personalities in movies, they essentially played extensions of their WWE personality. I think Dwayne was one of the first ones to break that mold, and do it on such a grand scale that he couldn’t be ignored.” (wrestingINC.com)
