Almost three years after their feud culminated, WWE's Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes have unfinished business, especially after starring in the Street Fighter movie together.
During an interview with Big Gold Belt Media, Reigns, David Dastmalchian, and Kitao Sakurai were asked to hold up cards that described various cast members. When Cody Rhodes was shown, the “Tribal Chief” called his former WWE rival the “Most Competitive.” For reference, Dastmalchian called him a “Scene Stealer” while Sakurai called him the movie's “Secret Weapon.”

This amused everyone, and Reigns said that Rhodes is “so competitive.” When asked to elaborate on how he was the “Most Competitive” on the Street Fighter set, the “Tribal Chief” explained, “Because he's always competing with me. I was on this movie first!”
He isn't wrong, as the “American Nightmare” joined the cast after him. However, it appears all things went smoothly on the production despite Rhodes claiming they were separated on set.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes' WWE feud comes to Street Fighter
Reigns and Rhodes had a feud in WWE that culminated at WrestleMania 40 in April 2024. One year earlier, the “American Nightmare” lost to the “Tribal Chief” at WrestleMania 39.

After their match at WrestleMania 40, they would team up at Bad Blood to face Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. The following year, they teamed up again at Survivor Series: WarGames. However, their team lost to The Vision (Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed), Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar.
Their paths have not crossed since then. However, they are 1-1 at WrestleMania. Maybe WWE will run a rubber match at some point before their careers come to an end.
