In a newly published profile with Vanity Fair, Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns revealed that his time as an in-ring performer may be winding down sooner than fans expect. According to Reigns, his current WWE contractโ€”signed in 2022โ€”will expire after WrestleMania 42 in 2026, and he is already looking ahead to the next chapter of his career.

โ€œAfter I finish the contract that Iโ€™m in, we probably got another year or two max,โ€ Reigns stated. โ€œThen itโ€™s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment.โ€

The current deal, which was negotiated as a multi-year extension in 2022, granted Reigns a reduced live event schedule in exchange for higher compensation, a sign of his elevated status within the company as its top star.

Looking toward life beyond the squared circle, Reignsโ€”who previously appeared in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shawโ€”expressed interest in pursuing more acting opportunities. However, he made it clear that he intends to be highly selective about the projects he takes on.

โ€œI almost want to model it after [Quentin] Tarantino,โ€ Reigns explained. โ€œWhere weโ€™re not just doing anything and everything. I want to really plot out: I want this one, I want that one.โ€

Reigns is currently preparing for one of the most anticipated matches of the year, as heโ€™s set to face Seth Rollins and CM Punk in a triple threat match during Night 1 of WrestleMania 41, taking place this Saturday, April 19th, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
