A number of professional wrestlers have found success in Hollywood and recently Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns have been spending more time in the acting world. Rhodes and Reigns both landed roles in the upcoming Street Fighter movie as Guile and Akuma respectively, but it seems that they were mostly kept apart on the set.
While talking about the process of filming the movie on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Cody Rhodes revealed that he only crossed paths with Roman Reigns one time, and their interaction was awkward.
“We had one day on set, and the way the set was, and he could probably reiterate this, I think they thought we were going to fight or have issue. Because they were very cognizant on the radios of stepping out with Guile, Akuma will be coming on. They were very cognizant of we would not cross paths, and we did because I had to tell him the direction of one of the trailers. That was our only moment, and it was very awkward.
That’s a crazy relationship. I have nothing from admiration for what he’s done and accomplished, but I don’t know what it is. I don’t even like talking about it because I don’t know what it is. It’s just a very strange relationship.”
When asked if he has a strange relationship with Joe, or Roman Reigns, Cody said, “I don’t know if there’s a difference.”
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will both be in huge matches at WrestleMania this year as Cody is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, while Roman Reigns will be challenging CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship.
