Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns are both attracting significant interest from the television and movie industries, according to a new report from WrestlingNews.co's Paul Davis.

Per the writeup, 'The Man' is already fielding a number of offers, with Davis stating that at least two film directors are currently interested in casting her in big-time projects. This comes soon after it was reported that Lynch would play a role in an upcoming Marvel property.

Becky featured in last night's Billions season five premiere and is set to be the subject of a major feature from a national woman's magazine, according to Figure Four Online/the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer.

'The Big Dog' is also in the Hollywood spotlight. Davis writes that was well as featuring in the upcoming Netflix project The Wrong Missy, his role in 2019's Hobbs and Shaw opened a lot of doors from him in the film and TV industries, with the feeling being that he possesses "the look of a star who will come off well on TV shows."

It'll be interesting to see what comes of this, particularly as the immunocompromised Reigns is currently sidelined during the ongoing global health crisis - and may stay that way until a vaccine is developed.
