A potential on-screen reunion between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman might occur in Hollywood, as Strowman has indicated his interest in the upcoming Street Fighter live-action film, a project for which Reigns is reportedly under consideration. Strowman, who departed WWE after WrestleMania 41 according to the provided information, made his casting aspirations known following a report about Reigns’ potential involvement.
After IGN reported that Roman Reigns was being considered for the role of Akuma in the Street Fighter movie, alongside other notable actors like Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, and Noah Centineo, Braun Strowman took to social media. He posted, “Cough cough Zangief [a character in the Street Fighter series]……Me…….. cough cough cough!!!!!” In a preceding message, Strowman had also stated, “I volunteer as a tribute to be Zangief!!!!”

This development could see the two former adversaries share the silver screen. Their WWE history began when Strowman debuted with The Wyatt Family and confronted Reigns and Dean Ambrose, leading to a notable rivalry. This period included Ambulance Matches and Hell in a Cell encounters. Statistics from their numerous clashes show Strowman defeated Reigns four times, while Reigns secured 55 victories in their 64 total matches. Despite a brief alliance early in their WWE careers, their interactions were largely characterized by intense confrontations.
