The two athletes have a notable rivalry, having battled for the WWE Undisputed championships at WrestleMania 39 and WrestleMania 40. Rhodes clinched victory in the 2023 Royal Rumble but was defeated by Reigns at Mania 39. However, a year later, “The American Nightmare” made headlines by defeating “The Tribal Chief,” thus ending Reigns’ four-year title dominance.
Both Reigns and Rhodes have shown interest in moving from WWE to Hollywood, each having made appearances in films.
Reigns debuted in cinema alongside his cousin, The Rock, in Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, while Rhodes is expected to star in the forthcoming Naked Gun movie later this year.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes to renew rivalry outside WWE
As reported by Deadline, both stars will provide their voices to characters in the eagerly awaited video game version of Street Fighter, which is set to launch in 2026, gamerant.com stated.
In this remake of the 1994 original, Roman Reigns will voice Akuma, while Cody Rhodes will take on the role of Guile. The original 1994 film starred Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, Byron Mann, and the late Raúl Juliá. While Street Fighter (1994) achieved commercial success, it faced significant criticism from reviewers and fans alike for its campy approach and lack of fidelity to the original plot.
