Whenever you work within an industry, you can’t help but scrutinize the depiction of it in the movies. That’s especially so when you’re so immersed in it that it is your life. Take the late Anthony Bourdain, for example. He – better than most, also being a film buff – had authority to blast a flick if it didn’t capture the essence of or overly romanticized a kitchen, restaurant or bar. But there were some true winners in his eyes: Ratatouille and Road House.

For Anthony Bourdain, Pixar’s 2007 film takes the cake for the movie that is surprisingly the most accurate of portraying a restaurant. “I thought — Ratatouille probably came as close to being perfect as any film ever in portraying the industry. Again, little things. The burn scars on the woman chef’s arm. It was pretty, pretty good.” Also joining the list of Bourdain-approved restaurant...

When I turned 15, I developed a sudden compulsion to watch every 1980s and '90s action movie I could get my hands on -- not just the "Rambo" and "Terminator" films or the "RoboCop" and "Predator" movies, but also "Die Hard," "Commando," "TimeCop," and even "Cobra." The campier, the better. So, you can imagine what a delight it was to learn that the stars of all these ridiculous classics were joining forces for a throwback action flick in 2010.

I loved "The Expendables" then, and I love "The Expendables" now, but let's be honest; The franchise has been bad as often as it's been good. And even when it's good, it's that roll-your-eyes-and-laugh kind of good. Daring? Certainly. It takes a certain brazenness to throw Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Chuck Norris into a blender so many years...

A trend that began from the mainstream timeline in WWE with Hulk Hogan and has continued in the modern era is the appearance of stars in major Hollywood films. WWE superstars have taken a keen interest in the world of film and acting and taken their fame to even greater heights.

While some have transitioned into full-fledged actors, others are still balancing acting projects with their WWE commitments. Here is a look back at ten films that featured renowned WWE superstars.

The ultimate heel of WWE, Randy Orton, became a part of the 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded, which was released in 2013 as a straight-to-dvd movie. He essayed the role of a paramedic, Nick Alloy, who gets caught in the cobweb of a deadly game called 12 rounds by a mastermind.

11 years ago, a WWE superstar wore her country’s colors as her wrestling gear. Competing against Summer Rae in the Nxt, WWE’s developmental roster, was Becky Lynch. Few would have known that the Irish superstar would become a dominating force in the company a decade later.

But Becky Lynch has achieved unimaginable success in her 11 years as a WWE superstar. The Man, as she is popularly called in the company, shared the ring with elite talents and achieved astonishing success as a professional wrestler. In light of her remarkable presence in the WWE, here are 11 moments of brilliance from Becky Lynch during her career.

Exclusive: After setting up her biopic project with Netflix and Chernin Entertainment, Ronda Rousey is now ready to tag in the person to take on directing duties for the film adaptation of her bestselling memoirs. Sources tell Deadline that Augustine Frizzell is set to direct the biopic based on Rousey’s memoirs My Fight/Your Fight and Our Fight, which she co-wrote with her sister Maria Burns Ortiz. Chernin Entertainment is on board to produce.

Deadline first reported the news of how this package came together, starting with Rousey working in WME’s story group department to learn about screenwriting structure and technique. After going through dozens of scripts from others, she would ultimately pen the script by herself in just seven days, shocking her agents who couldn’t believe she was a first-time writer. The script was soon taken to market, with Chernin moving fast to land a meeting and come on as producers.

Even though Nikki Bella’s return was already announced at Money in the Bank 2025, what happened at the subsequent edition of Monday Night Raw was unprecedented. Liv Morgan, an integral member of the Judgement Day faction, unleashed a relentless attack on the former Women’s Champion upon her return. The assault crossed all limits as she dug into Nikki’s recent wounds of divorce from her ex-husband, Artem Chigvinstev.

But Nikki Bella has decided to give it back to Liv Morgan. The former Women’s Champion has decided that she is not going to give in easily to the new generation of wrestlers in the WWE. In a shocking move, Nikki Bella has made her stance clear: it’s either one way or the other within the company—no middle ground.

Olivia Dunne, aka Livvy, a standout gymnast and one of the most recognizable faces in college athletics, has officially closed the chapter of her athletic career. After years of dedication to the sport and a standout run with Lsu, Dunne’s final season ended unexpectedly due to a serious knee injury.

The farewell season turned into a difficult and emotional exit from the competition. The injury kept her off the field and ultimately brought her gymnastics career to an early end. Though her gymnastics career has come to an end, Dunne’s influence is far from over.

Olivia Dunne suffered an avulsion fracture in her patella on March 6, 2025. It is a rare overuse injury where part of the kneecap is pulled away by surrounding tendons. The injury occurred just weeks before Lsu competed in the NCAA semifinals.

The world of professional wrestling has many influential names in the industry. At the top of the conversation is none other than Becky Lynch. The Man gained prominence as one of the most unexpected superstars to rise in the business with the fans’ support that led to her major accomplishments, earning multiple championships and accolades to her illustrious resume.

Most recently, Lynch added one more piece of gold to her WWE career. It happened at the 2025 Money in the Bank Premium Live Event in a high-stakes title match. However, her victory at the event has possibly hinted at her plans moving forward that involves her real-life, Seth ‘Freakin” Rollins.

A pioneer in women’s Mma, Ronda Rousey has often taken life with a challenge that changed women’s combat sports. Her desire to fight was intense, and it was evident in 2013, when she made her debut at UFC 157, earning herself a submission victory against Liz Carmouche.

People noticed her fire, and she proved it when she won her first 12 professional Mma matches and even held the bantamweight belt from 2012 to 2015 and defended it six times. However, she wanted to prove her finesse in wrestling too, leading her to join WWE in 2018, where she took the locker room by storm.

She had one of the best rookie years and got a push to become the next WWE Women’s Champion. However, her time in the company abruptly ended, forcing her to part ways. Now, in an interesting turn of events, Rousey might be returning to World Wrestling Entertainment.

WWE expects...

Ronda Rousey is hands down one of the biggest names in combat sports and easily one of the most badass women to ever step into the octagon or the ring. She made her mark in both UFC and WWE, becoming a champion in both, but despite her dominance, she never managed to win an Olympic gold medal.

That’s exactly what UFC star Kayla Harrison used to insult Rousey when her opponent, Julianna Peña, claimed she was nowhere on Ronda Rousey’s level. But Peña wasn’t about to let Harrison belittle Rousey without a response, she fired back with one of the most savage comebacks possible.

Ronda Rousey and Kayla Harrison share a lot of similarities—they both come from a Judo background, have fearless fighting styles, and even competed in the Olympics.

The WWE Universe has witnessed Roman Reigns in various avatars—from being the “Big Dog” of the company to embracing his role as the original Tribal Chief, carrying forward the legacy of his legendary wrestling family.

While the personas and appearances of the former Undisputed Champion have evolved throughout his career, the ferocity and intensity of Roman Reigns have remained constant hallmarks of his storied journey.

Adding yet another feather to his cap, Roman Reigns recently crossed 10 million followers on Instagram, marking a significant milestone in his legacy of social influence as a WWE superstar.

Stephanie McMahon, the daughter of WWE’s former main man, Vince McMahon, has carved out her own legacy in the company. Over the years, she has taken on numerous roles, including general manager, commissioner, executive, and even an incredible wrestler.

She has also worked massively behind the scenes, but if we talk about her in-ring career, her iconic feud with Ronda Rousey is often the first thing that comes to mind, but what if I told you there’s another WWE superstar who made Rousey see stars with a single slap?

Vince McMahon is one of WWE’s most controversial figures. Despite his questionable and often unethical leadership style, he played a huge role in making WWE a global phenomenon. Under his decades-long control, WWE grew from a small wrestling company to one of the biggest promotions in the world.

However, despite his contributions, McMahon was forced out of his own company due to allegations of sex trafficking, sexual misconduct, and accusations that he manipulated the WWE-UFC merger for his own benefit. While these claims shocked the entire combat sports community, they failed to surprise former UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

Ronda Rousey is one of the most well-known names in the combat sports community. She has left her mark in both WWE and the UFC, and also went on to work in some of the biggest Hollywood franchises. She is undoubtedly one of the greatest women fighters in history, and, naturally, she was a part of the first-ever all-women WrestleMania main event in history.

Ronda Rousey took on two of the biggest names in WWE’s women’s division, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, in a winner-takes-all match in WrestleMania 35. The bout ended with Lynch picking up the victory, but not without a massive controversy. Let’s take a look at what actually happened that night.

The WWE women’s division has undergone a remarkable transformation, completely redefining how female wrestlers are perceived within the company and the broader wrestling world. Not too long ago, women in wrestling were often portrayed through sensational storylines and overly s*xualized characters, overshadowing their athletic abilities.

However, in the modern era, WWE has successfully reshaped this image, showcasing a roster of powerful, skilled, and intense in-ring performers. These trailblazing athletes have earned the respect of fans worldwide and carved out a meaningful, lasting place in the heart of the wrestling community.

The dawn of WWE’s modern era introduced a wave of talented female wrestlers such as Trish Stratus, Lita, and Beth Phoenix, performers who helped shift the perception of women’s roles in the industry.

Cm Punk and Triple H have given fans one of the most compelling rivalries in WWE history. Over the years, they’ve clashed in numerous feuds and unforgettable matches, but perhaps their most interesting and unexpected showdown took place in 2011, not inside the squared circle, not even inside the WWE arena, but at a comic con.

During a fan interactive WWE session, Triple H was present alongside other WWE superstars when, out of nowhere, Punk made an appearance. What followed was pure entertainment as the two engaged in a fiery exchange, taunting each other. In a dramatic twist, Triple H went as far as exposing Punk’s rumored secret affair with Beth Phoenix.

On July 21, 2011, at a Comic-Con event in San Diego, hundreds of fans witnessed an intense verbal exchange between the Game and Punk.

Ronda Rousey has been consistently bashing WWE since she departed from the franchise. There are several instances in which the former wrestler expressed her disappointment with the creative team of the WWE.

Rousey made her appearance in a podcast with Denise Salcedo, where she straight pointed fingers at the authority and decision maker of the wrestling franchise, Vince McMahon, who could have made some wrong decisions with her bookings.

Ronda Rousey had some major differences during McMahon’s regime, but she revealed that she would have loved to work under the regime of Triple H.

Ronda Rousey’s last match happened at SummerSlam 2023, where she faced Shayna Baszler. Though it was an intense matchup, Rousey somehow failed to hold the audience and parted ways with the WWE.

On Wednesday May 14 2025, Vice broadcasts The Grudge!

Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate Season 1 Episode 8 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “The Grudge” on Vice promises to dive deep into the intense rivalry between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate. This episode, titled “Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate,” will explore how their fierce competition has shaped the landscape of women’s mixed martial arts. Fans can expect a detailed look at their history, highlighting two significant title fights that brought their contrasting styles to the forefront.

Ronda Rousey, known for her exceptional judo skills, faces off against Miesha Tate, a talented wrestler. Their different approaches to fighting have created a thrilling dynamic that has captivated audiences. The episode will cover how their rivalry escalated, especially during their time on “The Ultimate Fighter.” This reality show not only showcased their skills but also brought their personal conflicts into the spotlight, adding layers to their story.

The WWE creative team has been constantly making drastic decisions post-WrestleMania 41. They have released certain superstars from their roster, and some of these releases are almost a shock. Triple H and the WWE recently released Dakota Kai, a promising talent in the WWE and a two-time tag team champion.

The release of Dakota Kai was not expected, and a former WWE wrestler, Sonya Deville, shared her views on the following case. Deville could be the person who can understand the injustice that happened to Kai, as she was also released by the WWE three months back abruptly. Dakota Kai suffered several injuries but still had a strong passion for competing inside the ring, and this decision to release her could kill her dreams.

Recently, the WWE creative team released Braun Strowman and several other female wrestlers.

Over the years, WWE has changed a lot, including how it treats women. When Vince McMahon was in charge, female wrestlers were mostly seen as eye candy. But as time passed, the promotion started giving them more importance, involving them in major storylines, and that’s when women’s wrestling truly began to rise from the ashes of the past.

As their popularity grew, so did their earnings. The company pays wrestlers based on their value, and now female wrestlers are getting close to men in both fame and salary. Let’s take a look at the top-paid women wrestlers in the company’s history.

Triple H has long been known as one of the most intense and commanding performers in the ring. Throughout his career, he has never shied away from putting others in their place, both in scripted storylines and real-life situations. However, for his wife, Stephanie McMahon, “The Game” reaches an entirely different level of intensity.

This was evident in a recent interview where Stephanie McMahon shared that her husband nearly confronted a fan who verbally attacked her during a match at WrestleMania 34. Triple H was reportedly ready to take matters into his own hands, underscoring just how fiercely protective he is when it comes to his wife.

A few weeks ago, John Cena called Cody Rhodes a “nepo baby” in one of the promos before their main event on Night 2 of WrestleMania 41. As most of you know, Cody Rhodes is the son of the late Dusty Rhodes and the brother of Dustin Rhodes (Goldust). This is a family business for him, and there are so many others who come from an even longer line of wrestlers.

To say that the wrestling business is filled with “nepo babies” would be an understatement. And like most jobs, some do very well, but others fail miserably. The talent to climb obstacles matters, despite your lineage. However, there is no substitute for hard work, and sometimes, the right amount of talent, hard work, and nepotism can push you to the top.

Here is a list of the most famous “nepo babies” in the wrestling business, who have not only made a...

The upcoming episode of “The Grudge,” titled “Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate,” promises to be an exciting look into one of the most intense rivalries in women’s Mma. Set to air on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 10:00 Pm on Vice, this episode dives deep into the fierce competition between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate. Their story has captivated fans and changed the landscape of mixed martial arts.

Viewers will witness how Ronda’s exceptional Judo skills clash with Miesha’s strong wrestling background. The episode will highlight their two title fights, showcasing the tension and drama that defined their encounters in the octagon. As the rivalry unfolds, it becomes clear that their battles extend beyond the ring, spilling into the reality show “The Ultimate Fighter.” This adds another layer to their already complicated relationship.

The episode not only focuses on the fights but also explores the personal dynamics between Ronda and Miesha.

Paul Heyman has been making headlines after he betrayed the tribal chief, Roman Reigns, and sided with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41. The betrayal was further solidified in Raw after WrestleMania, where Seth Rollins again got the better of Roman Reigns and Cm Punk with the help of Bron Breakker.

Some may hate him for his betrayal, but Heyman probably wouldn’t care, as he is the hottest news in the town. He was recently featured in a TikTok video, where he collaborated with Daniella Chavez, a Chilean model. Surprisingly, this video was not about WWE or even related to wrestling. It was just a cute moment, and it looks like Heyman is moving differently after betraying Reigns.

Roman Reigns is a name that demands acknowledgment. He has established an unavoidable history in the WWE as the “Tribal Chief” with his aura and dominance. But beyond the title belts and suplexes, though, Reigns has a personal side that he likes to keep away from the public eye.

Reigns was born Leati Joseph Anoaʻi and comes from the famed Anoaʻi wrestling dynasty. The family tree is full of wrestlers like The Rock and the Wild Samoans, who have made an impact. However, apart from being a wrestler, he is a father, a husband, and a man who survived many severe hits in life, both inside and outside of the ring.

His career has been a wild journey filled with victories, boos, and great comebacks. His private life is a genuine story of strength, love, and family. Let’s explore Roman Reigns’ private life and get to know the people...

WWE wrestlers are more than just wrestlers; they are superstars. The billion-dollar entertainment empire creates some of the biggest celebrities who sell glamour, charm, beauty, and glory, especially the female wrestlers. In this listicle, let’s dive into the richest female WWE superstars who made it to the top with their talent and charm.

Gone are the days when women were just eye candy inside the ring. Stars such as Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, Sasha Banks, and more are headlining pay-per-views, securing blockbuster deals, and proving that they’re just as bankable as their male counterparts.

Professional wrestling has been constantly evolving, and women are gradually starting to get their due recognition in the male-dominated field. From massive contracts to brand endorsements and more, these women are turning their fame into fortune. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the most successful women in WWE.

WWE fans love to debate who is the best in the women’s division. When it comes to championships, Charlotte Flair has 17 and looks to be the obvious queen. Looking at her athleticism and legacy, she looks like a main-event money-making act. So why isn’t she the highest-paid female?

Reports claim that Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey make more than Flair: Lynch is making $3.1 million, and Rousey made $2.1 million while under contract. Flair makes approximately $1.1 million – not by any means a small number, but less than the other two women.

Why is that? It is a few things: star power, mainstream appeal, and who you know backstage. Let’s dive in to break it down.

Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey bring home the money

Becky Lynch, now referred to as The Man, is WWE’s prized fighter. Her salary of $3.1M speaks for itself: she draws better than Flair.

WrestleMania 41 is right around the corner, with John Cena looking at performing on the grandest pay-per-view event of the WWE for the last time. The 13-time WWE Champion, who recently turned heel, is looking to defeat Cody Rhodes and take the title with him home, retiring as the last real WWE Champion.

However, while John Cena is looking at his last run in the WWE, someone close to him in the past is eyeing her return to the squared ring. Fans and analysts alike wait in anticipation of what potential changes she can bring to the WWE storylines.

Charlotte Flair, the daughter of Ric Flair and one of the iconic WWE superstars, had an impeccable run as a women’s wrestler. She has been a 14-time world champion, including the Raw and SmackDown.

However, fans are sometimes restless and are always about a new face, and they think she has been pushed way too much by the franchise. Charlotte Flair would be part of WrestleMania 41, where she would be facing Tiffany Stratton for a WWE title shot.

This happened after her victory at the Royal Rumble 2025. Recently, there has been a debate about Charlotte Flair and her role in WWE and how effective she is in real-time when there are upcoming and emerging WWE women wrestlers coming along. Jade Cargill versus Naomi at WrestleMania, a non-title match, is a perfect example of the entire game being developed with a new generation.

However, the opinions...

Ronda Rousey made her WWE debut at WrestleMania 31, and from then on, she was a force. The former UFC champion has been very tough to beat in the realms of WWE. She made headlines at WrestleMania 35, where she was matched up against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a triple-threat match with the WWE Raw and SmackDown women’s titles on the line.

The match was an engaging watch with all three superstars giving their all, however, the finish of the match was difficult to digest. It was a botched finish for Ronda, and her expressions right after the match clearly stated her feelings about the decision.

It wasn’t only the former UFC champion, but even the audience thought that it was botched. Yes, after that event, Ronda opened up about that finish in a podcast.

The final years of the career of wrestling stars are considered very important for the future of the business. The top promotions majorly use it as an opportunity to shape up their current rosters and give significant push to the talents of today at the expense of the veterans.

Over the years, many veterans have put over younger stars to elevate their status in WWE. A notable example was The Undertaker taking a crushing defeat at the hands of Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33, which gave a huge push to the then-young star who ultimately became the face of the company.

Moreover, top legends like Triple H and John Cena did the same in the final years of their career. Triple H had been doing the same in his prime years as well, putting over stars like John Cena and Batista and, later on, Roman Reigns, Ronda Rousey, and Seth Rollins.

Aj Lee has been one of the most phenomenal WWE wrestlers, crucial in the development of the Divas’ locker room back in the day.

Despite not being inside the squared circle since 2015, she is still connected with the fans, as they consider her the Geek Goddess. The 3-time Divas Champion not only has a love for gaming but also a shared love for anime.

Anime culture has seeped into the sports space including WWE. It is a growing cultural phenomenon that has shaped the society for decades. From actors to musicians, most celebrities have opened up about their love for anime.

Other than that, sports personalities in the recent past have shared their penchant for the series as well. Be it, John Cena or Rhea Ripley, wrestlers expressed their obsession with the art. But they might not be the only ones.

While The Rock’s feud with Triple H is legendary, there’s another unforgettable rivalry worth discussing, and that is his intense clashes with Shawn Michaels. It’s a rivalry that cemented both of their legacies as all-time greats.

Mark Wahlberg’s panned action thriller from 2018 is currently finding new life on streaming. Mile 22, which sees Wahlberg reunite with Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, and Patriots Day director Peter Berg, has now found its way into the top 10 on Starz, with audiences turning to this no-nonsense tale of Marky Mark and his leadership of an elite, top secret CIA unit.

Starring Mark Wahlberg, Iko Uwais, John Malkovich, Lauren Cohan, and Ronda Rousey, Mile 22 was met with largely negative reviews upon release. The action outing stands at just 23% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences slightly more enamored and scoring the movie 44% on the Popcornmeter. “Mile 22 lets the bullets fly -- and not much else -- in a thrill-deficient action thriller whose title proves sadly fitting for a film that feels close to a marathon endurance test,” the critics’ consensus reads.

Jon Jones is the latest UFC star to make his film debut as he will play a U.S. Navy Seal in the upcoming film Edo’s Crossing.

McGregor’s performance as the villain in Road House also received critical acclaim, making him a favorite to return to more Hollywood roles. However, the actor shared that he emphasizes his career as a fighter first. Moreover, the recent case against the actor might’ve tainted the chances of him returning to Hollywood.
