Triple H praises the real-life superheroes working for WWE.
Many WWE wrestlers often tried to transition to Hollywood, following in the footsteps of Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista. Triple H, who tried a brief run at attaining Hollywood success with roles in Blade: Trinity, The Chaperone, and more, believes it will be easier than ever for pro wrestlers to make that transition.
Appearing on The Roommates Show with Brunson and Josh Hart, Triple H reflected on professional wrestling being accepted by the mainstream now, praising several of the women WWE Superstars as real-life superheroes. Triple H believes that if someone like Bianca Belair or Rhea Ripley can't be considered a superhero, then who can?
"Wrestling is accepted now. If somebody goes and does a movie or TV film, it’s so accepted to where it’s not, ‘What’s this wrestler doing in this movie?’ Now, they can sort of fit in and people are more accepted of it. I think over the years, you’ll see some of that. Guys like Roman Reigns, and some of our women too. Rhea Ripley or people like that. Especially with action movies and the superhero genre, if Rhea Ripley is not a superhero, I’m not sure who is. Bianca Belair is another. Jade Cargill. If they’re not superheroes, what is?"
