WWE Superstars who'd be perfect for horror movies (and what their roles would be)
By Mark Lynch
The Couple
WWE wrestlers: The Miz and Maryse
The couple is usually insufferable. They don’t add anything to the story except the sex scenes. You can also always count on one of them to run away and leave their partner. The Miz and Maryse’s “it” couple gimmick fits this narrative perfectly.
Alternate: Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella
The Skeptic
WWE wrestlers: Heel Bayley
Jason Voorhees could be standing in front of them with a machete in one hand and a severed head in the other. The skeptic still won’t believe what they’re seeing. There must be a logical explanation for the insanity that’s happening. This leads to them being murdered as well.
This is Bayley when she’s a heel. In this case, her level of disbelief is arrogance. If she can’t understand it, then it’s not real. It’s why she’s lost matches that she should have won. Her mind says that there's no way this person can beat her.
Alternate: Sasha Banks
The Mean Girl
WWE wrestlers: Tiff Stratton
The difference between the mean girl and the hysteric is the former is usually despised. Normally, the mean girl is the leader of the cheerleader team, a class president, or a woman who demoralizes the people around them. When they die, people always cheer.
Tiffany Stratton is the epitome of this. If there was a Mean Girl movie based on the WWE superstars she’d be the main antagonist. What’s funny is she’d play the role so well that people would root for her despite being awful.
