WWE in the Fast & Furious Franchise
Recently the Fast and Furious franchise has seen plenty of faces from the WWE Network. First we saw Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in Fast Five (2015).
This was followed by Hobbs & Shaw casting The Rock’s nephew Roman Reigns. Now Fast & Furious 9 has cast John Cena.

Hobbs & Shaw, the spinoff featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham, is set for August, 2, 2019.
