Summary

Roman Reigns addressed Cody Rhodes’ recent comments about their unusual dynamic while both were filming the upcoming "Street Fighter" movie.

Reigns said he believes Rhodes was nervous about him being on set and claimed there were only a couple of days where their filming schedules overlapped.

The film features Reigns as Akuma and Rhodes as Guile, and is set for an October 2026 theatrical release. Rhodes had previously described their set dynamic as strange, as covered in this earlier update.

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes rivalry still drives attention outside WWE shows

Reigns leaning into the "nervous" claim keeps their rivalry energy active off television, and the immediate consequence is added promotional heat around both the movie and their WWE-facing history.

Because they already headlined WrestleMania 39 and 40 and later teamed at Survivor Series 2025, even a film-set comment now lands as storyline-adjacent chatter rather than a random celebrity remark.

Quote from Roman Reigns

"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. 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."
