Ladies and gentleman, make the most of Roman Reigns as a full-time wrestler.

Now 34, the 'Big Dog' believes he has around five years left on the road before he calls it a day and tries his hand at something else. That 'something else' could end up being a career in film if his role in the new Hobbs & Shaw movie stirs interest from Hollywood. Bank on it happening.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Reigns admitted that he has way more to achieve in pro wrestling but realises the clock is against him. After beating cancer for a second time in his life, the guy recognises that he must seize every opportunity that comes his way. That includes mimicking his cousin Dwayne Johnson and living out some action star dreams.

Right now, Roman plans to wrestle another five years or so. That'd take him up to 2024, meaning his final WrestleMania as a full-timer could be on the horizon. It's easy to forget sometimes that he's been around on the main roster since 2012.
