Ever since The Traitors premiered, a lot of the talk surrounding the show has been about Alan Cumming. That makes a lot of sense, since hosting the reality show has earned Alan a lot of new fans, and it is fascinating to look at how hard the job is for him. That said, there is a reason why fans were eager to learn about who would join the third season’s cast. There have been several memorable The Traitors players, including several former Survivor players, who’ve made the show great.
As The Traitors fans will likely already know, it can be hard to predict who will do well on the show, as Survivor legend Parvati Shallow flopping in the castle proves. As a result, it is important to put a lot of thought into who is likely to do well on the show. With that in mind, it is fascinating to consider which wrestlers should compete in The Traitors, now that Nikki Garcia has paved the way.
Why Bianca Belair Should Compete On The Traitors
For many years, fans of professional wrestling have been trying to get people to stop saying that it is “fake.” While the outcome of matches are pre-determined, wrestlers truly do go through a staggering amount of pain while performing. More importantly, for this article, the athleticism that wrestlers show off is extremely real.
For proof of how athletically gifted the top wrestlers are, people don’t need to look any further than Bianca Belair. As Bianca’s Fox Sports biography shows, Bianca had many sports achievements before she became a wrestler. “Before joining WWE, Belair earned All-SEC and All-American honors in track-and-field at the University of Tennessee.”
An October 2024 article from TheSportster focused on Bianca’s physical transformation further shows her incredible athletic background. As the outlet reported, Bianca also became a highly successful competitor in CrossFit powerlifting. Given Bianca’s athletic background, she would be a tremendous asset during The Traitors’ missions.
Of course, The Traitors fans don’t really watch the show for the missions. So most fans are far more interested in what Bianca would be like in the castle.
Bianca Belair’s WWE Achievements as of January 2025 | |
---|---|
Achievement | How Many Times |
WWE Women’s Championship | 2 Times |
WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship | 1 Time |
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship | 2 Times |
Women’s Royal Rumble Winner | 1 Time |
The first thing to consider that shows that Bianca would be great in the castle is that she is a reality show veteran. In February 2024, fans got to see Bianca star in the reality show Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez with her charismatic husband Montez Ford.
The other reason to think that Bianca would be great on The Traitors is how lovable she is. Since debuting as a WWE wrestler, Bianca has accumulated millions of fans who truly adore her because she comes across as such a lovable and genuine person. With that in mind, it seems like Bianca has all the tools to be a fantastic part of The Traitors in the future.
Why Chris Jericho Should Compete On The Traitors
Easily one of the most accomplished wrestlers of all time, Chris Jericho’s success in a business that often didn’t want people like him is amazing. After all, there was a long time when North American wrestling companies focused on people who were behemoths and Chris is only six feet tall. That should have limited the potential of Chris’ career, but he has consistently proved any naysayers wrong.

The fact that Chris got so many wrestling companies to put their faith in him proves what kind of person he is. After all, Chris won so many championships because of his wrestling ability and how charismatic he is while talking on a microphone.
Given there were so many years when wrestling fans couldn’t get enough of Chris talking, it seems extremely likely the other players would love him if he went on The Traitors.
Of course, every fan of The Traitors should know that playing the game requires adaptability. With that in mind, it is important to note that, on top of being someone who can make people like him, Chris is one of wrestling’s most multi-faceted performers ever.
Like several other wrestlers, Chris has also had an acting career. While there is no doubt that Chris is nowhere near as successful as people like Dwayne Johnson or John Cena, he has landed roles in notable projects.

Considering everything Chris has succeeded at, it seems like a no-brainer that he would make a great The Traitors cast member too.
Why Becky Lynch Should Compete On The Traitors
For many decades, women have been a part of the wrestling business. However, throughout most of that history, women wrestlers were considered a side-attraction that the business wasn’t really based around. As a result, the first 34 WrestleManias, which has long been the biggest wrestling event of the year, featured main events involving male wrestlers. Becky Lynch was one of three women to break that decades-long glass ceiling by competing in the first women’s match that was the main event of WrestleMania.

During WrestleMania 35, the night ended with a match featuring Becky, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey. Not only did Becky compete in that match, she won it. That meant that the biggest wrestling event of the year ended with Becky celebrating in the ring.

Achievement | How Many Times |
WWE Raw Women’s Championship | 2 Times |
Women’s World Championship | 5 Times |
NXT Women’s Championship | 1 Time |
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship | 1 Time |

To say that Becky would have been under a staggering amount of pressure the day of WrestleMania 35 is a huge understatement. With that in mind, it says a lot about Becky that she didn’t falter under that immense pressure.
The fact that Becky has a proven history of overcoming incredible odds and staying calm under pressure makes her a perfect candidate for The Traitors.
In terms of why fans would be entertained by Becky if she competed in The Traitors, there are two reasons to think she would be great.
First, Becky is an Irish wrestler with a thick but still easy-to-understand accent who is a delight to hear speak.
According to
Famous Birthdays
, Becky Lynch was born in Limerick, Ireland on January 30, 1987. That means that Becky will turn 38 years old in January 2025.
Secondly, Becky has proven throughout her career that she isn’t afraid to take big swings. Willing to come to the ring wearing outrageous outfits and create over-the-top characters, Becky would likely be willing to take calculated risks if she appeared on The Traitors.
Why Roman Reigns Should Compete On The Traitors
Over the last several decades, the WWE has almost always revolved around one performer above everyone else. Some past examples of that include Hulk Hogan, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, and John Cena. For the last several years, Roman Reigns has been the WWE’s main star.

In March 2024, a Screen Rant article quoted Paul talking about Roman from A&E’s Biography: WWE Legends featuring Roman Reigns. During that Biography episode, Paul described how charismatic Roman is as a wrestler and behind-the-scenes.
“It’s about that intangible It factor that to this day, no one can truly describe just that. Just that presentation of a larger-than-life personality that transcends even past the word charismatic.”
Based on that quote, it is clear that Roman is the kind of person that others are drawn to. On top of that, a multi-billion-dollar company, the WWE, has put its faith into Roman, which shows that he inspires people.
With all that in mind, it would be fascinating to see how Roman would do if he competed in The Traitors.
