Naturally, as a professional wrestler, WWE Superstar Matt Cardona loved seeing Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in Street Fighter.
He wrote a review of the video game movie on X, formerly Twitter. Cardona gave it glowing praise, but he knows that he is “biased.”
“Just saw [Street Fighter]…what a fun movie. Congrats to [Cody Rhodes] & [Roman Reigns],” he wrote. “I’m biased but I thought they stole the show. This is huge for pro wrestling. Every wrestling fan should go out and support this film!”

Reigns has had roles in blockbusters, such as Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. However, Street Fighter is his biggest role to date. He did voice one of the Zebros in Zootopia 2 last year. The other Zebro was voiced by his former rival, CM Punk.
While they are riding the high of Street Fighter's success, Reigns and Rhodes are back in WWE. The “Tribal Chief” appears bound for a WarGames match next month.
