"Cody, I told you", "This ain't enough" - Roman Reigns & Cody Rhodes issue public statement during major non-WWE appearance

WWE Superstars Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes showed up at the 2025 Game Awards. The duo was part of the star cast of the live-action movie Street Fighter at the event. While they shared the stage, the OTC was seen publicly snubbing Rhodes when he spoke at the event.

The team of Street Fighter appeared on stage to promote the film and to announce the winner of the Best Ongoing Game of the Year. Speaking a few lines about the nominees, The American Nightmare said:

“The games in this category are the ones that never quit delivering all year long. They keep us looking forward to what's next.”

Asking the Undisputed WWE Champion to make a better effort in praising the nominees, the Head of the Table said:

“Cody, I told you. The dedication, the passion, the resilience. We need more presenters. This ain't enough. You know what I'm saying?” [From 1:40:02 onwards]

Thus, Roman Reigns remained in character even outside WWE and didn’t miss a chance to take a jab at The American Nightmare. Not escalating things further, the cast thanked the fans and announced No Man’s Sky as the winner of the Best Ongoing Game of the Year Award.
