Gladiators Reboot Bets Big on Pro-Wrestling Talent

The Hollywood Reporter notes that the 2026 Amazon Prime Video revival of American Gladiators leans into a pro‑wrestling lineup—Jessie Godderz as Steel, Eric Bugenhagen as Bull, Kailey Latimer as Hurricane, Jessica Roden as Supernova, and Wardlow as Fang—with WWE’s The Miz hosting, to boost spectacle and audience appeal. Producers have Gladiators train two weeks before taping to sharpen showmanship and keep the action fast-paced, while leaning into Team USA patriotism. The piece includes a Q&A with Godderz about his nickname and the show’s Eliminator dynamic, highlighting how wrestling skills translate to Gladiator events and how the reboot nods to the 2008 version that also featured wrestlers.
