Street Fighter Movie Filming Set with Major Wrestling Names Attached

The upcoming Street Fighter film is set to feature some of pro wrestling’s biggest stars, including Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and possibly Hirooki Goto. With such massive names involved, fans have been curious whether filming will disrupt ongoing WWE storylines.

According to WWE sources via Fightful Select, production is slated to begin in September. While that timing raised questions about potential scheduling conflicts, insiders say they’re confident it won’t derail major plans. In fact, Cody Rhodes is not expected to be on set long enough to impact match outcomes or storyline developments this weekend. Details on Roman Reigns’ filming schedule have not yet been confirmed.

For now, WWE is optimistic that the movie commitment will coexist with their ongoing creative plans without major hiccups.

At the end of the day, Hollywood might be calling, but WWE isn’t looking to let its top stars vanish from TV for long. With Cody’s time on set expected to be short and Reigns’ schedule still under wraps, the real intrigue will be how (or if) WWE weaves this blockbuster project into its storytelling. Fans will be watching closely to see if the squared circle and the silver screen can play nice.
