Roman Reigns responds to Cody Rhodes’ ‘Street Fighter’ set claims

Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns' official first look for 'Street Fighter' revealed

Previously, Cody Rhodes opened up and recalled his “strange relationship” and awkward interaction with Roman Reigns on the set of ‘Street Fighter,’ and Reigns has now responded.

Speaking to Adam Glyn, Reigns was asked about Rhodes’ claims that they were kept apart on the sets of ‘Street Fighter.’

The rumor is, he was requesting that. He was a little nervous that I was showing up. He got there before me, and there was only a couple days of crossover,” Reigns said. “I think he was a little (nervous). You know what it is. The Tribal Chief comes to town, and he gets a little nervous. He doesn’t know what to do.”

‘Street Fighter’ is set to release in October 2026 and will star both Reigns and Rhodes as Akuma and Guile.

Reigns and Rhodes share a complicated history. From their early days feuding to recent back-to-back WrestleMania 39 and 40 main events against each other, the duo even proceeded to tag along at Bad Blood 2024.
