According to figures from Showbuzz Daily, WWE NXT 2.0 attracted an average of 631,000 viewers this week, up 0.8 percent from last week's 626,000.
Since The Rock transitioned from professional wrestling to Hollywood, WWE has had no shortage of stars dabbling in the film and television industry. Former WWE champions such as Batista and John Cena have already made their mark on blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy and Messengers of Peace, respectively.
Today, the road is smoother than in the 20th century, with more and more wrestlers venturing into the film industry. WWE executive Nick Khan pointed out in an interview with foreign media outlet The Town that the company believes that the current WWE global champion Roman Reigns is the next person to achieve this goal.
"We think he's going sooner or later," Khan said. "We have a big plan to assist him, and I think he got advice early on to get him out of the stereotype of a muscular handsome male lead."
"The inner voice must match the outer voice. The same is true of our role. Dwayne Johnson, John Senna, 'Cold-Blooded' Steve Austin, Roman Raines. They are what they are now in real life, just amplified, which is often the most effective for us. When you pick someone by mistake, it's never going to work in movie circles. ”
