Roman Reigns jests that he is the potential needle mover for the DCEU.
Aquaman released on December 21, 2018. The film, starring Jason Momoa grossed $1,148,461,807 worldwide. Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns regularly get compared to one another for their similar looks. Recently, that comparison was shouted at Roman Reigns from an audience member at a WWE Live event.
A fan in the audience said that they loved Roman Reigns in Aquaman, and in a clip that surfaced on Twitter from TikTok, Roman Reigns let the audience member know that the movie would have made more money had he been the one starring in it.
Aye that was me! I am so glad I had my phone out for it -- pic.twitter.com/YmtAdUdyHS

This comparison between Roman Reigns and Jason Momoa has been brought up to the actor as well. In a 2018 interview with Chris Van Vliet, Momoa stated that he hadn't had the pleasure of meeting Roman Reigns as of that interview’s recording, but he has been told that comparison as well.
We've all heard and seen comparisons of @WWERomanReigns and Jason Momoa. (Aquaman) Here's a short clip of Jason talking about how he's heard the comparisons and how it would be an honour to meet Roman one day. Here's hoping they do and break the internet with a picture. pic.twitter.com/qPNtb8M1co
