Cody Rhodes Says Street Fighter Co-Star Jason Momoa Has WWE Potential

Cody Rhodes thinks his current Street Fighter castmate has what it takes to step into a WWE ring. The WWE star, who is playing Guile in the live-action film, says he sees pro wrestling potential in co-star Jason Momoa, who is portraying Blanka in the same movie.

It is not the first time Momoa’s name has been connected to the wrestling world. Fans have long pointed out a physical resemblance between the Aquaman actor and Roman Reigns, and Momoa has crossed paths with WWE talent in other projects over the years, further fueling the conversation about whether he could eventually make the jump from Hollywood action roles to the squared circle.

Rhodes is no stranger to blending his wrestling career with mainstream entertainment projects, and his Street Fighter role has put him in regular company with A-list names like Momoa during production. That proximity appears to have given Rhodes a firsthand look at how Momoa carries himself physically and on camera — the kind of presence that translates well to pro wrestling, where size, charisma and screen command matter as much as in-ring skill.

It’s worth noting this is purely Rhodes offering his opinion as a co-star and lifelong wrestling lifer, not any kind of formal pitch from WWE itself. Celebrities crossing over into wrestling is nothing new — WWE has spent years recruiting names from Hollywood, MMA, and other sports to boost crossover appeal, with varying degrees of follow-through. Momoa, for his part, has never publicly expressed serious interest in an in-ring run, so any talk of a WWE future remains speculative for now.

Still, endorsements like this tend to generate buzz, especially when they come from someone as plugged into WWE’s current landscape as Rhodes, who has spent the past few years near the top of the company’s title picture. Should Momoa ever show genuine interest, his action-movie stardom and build would make him an easy sell to a mainstream audience WWE is always looking to tap into.

For now, the comments are more notable as a fun bit of cross-promotion between two Street Fighter castmates than a sign of any actual WWE plans. But in an industry where star power travels fast, it’s the kind of remark that could keep resurfacing if Momoa’s name ever gets seriously floated for a WWE appearance down the road.
