The Hollywood icon will be playing the role of Blanka in the live-action adaptation of the video game franchise of the same name. Reigns has been cast as Akuma, while Rhodes will be playing the character of Guile. Taking to X (fka Twitter), the OTC posted a picture where he shared the frame with Momoa, along with a handshake emoji.

Interestingly, Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns are often called lookalikes, with fans of both stars asking them if they have met each other in person. With this picture, Reigns has now declared that he is also good friends with the Aquaman actor.

Roman Reigns snubbed Cody Rhodes at the 2025 Game Awards

The Street Fighter star cast was called upon stage to promote the game and the movie, which is scheduled to be released in October 2026. The crew was also asked to announce the winner of the Best Ongoing Game of the Year Award.

Taking the mic, The American Nightmare said a few lines about the nominations in the category and gave a rather plain description of the games. Asking the Undisputed WWE Champion to step up and put in more effort, Roman Reigns said:

“Roman: Cody, I told you. The dedication, the passion, the resilience. We need more presenters. This ain't enough. You know what I'm saying?” [1:40:01 - 1:40:20]

Thus, the Head of the Table didn’t forfeit a chance to step on the toes of his rival even outside WWE. Things have been tense between the two superstars, especially after the 2025 Survivor Series, where they lost the Men’s WarGames match.

The OTC was seen glaring The American Nightmare down and walking away, despite CM Punk being the man who got pinned in the match. Reportedly, Reigns will be on the hunt for yet another world title soon, and his reaction could be a buildup to an eventual clash between him and Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship once again.
