Roman Reigns is set to begin filming for the live-action Street Fighter movie on September 2nd, with production expected to last about four weeks. According to PWInsider, Reigns will likely remain on set until the week of September 26th, assuming no delays occur. This filming schedule confirms he will continue appearing in <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE programming until then, dispelling rumors of an early departure.
Cody Rhodes Also Cast in Street Fighter with Shorter Commitment
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes also joins the upcoming Street Fighter project, but his role will require a shorter filming period. Sources suggest Rhodes will be available for WWE events throughout his time on set, keeping his in-ring presence consistent during production on the film. This adds to the crossover appeal between WWE and Hollywood for both top stars.
Roman Reigns Remains Active on WWE through September
Reigns has already returned to WWE television and will continue to play a key part in storylines until filming commences in September. Recently, at SummerSlam Night One, Reigns teamed with Jey Uso to defeat Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, wrestlers allied with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. This victory positions The Bloodline firmly against Rollins’ faction as the wrestling calendar moves into the autumn season.
Upcoming WWE Appearances and Continuing Storylines
With no filming obligations until September, Roman Reigns is expected to appear on SmackDown and other WWE events over the coming weeks. His next confirmed WWE appearance is scheduled for November’s Survivor Series: WarGames, allowing him ample time to maintain his in-ring momentum and audience presence before filming begins.
Roman Reigns’ Expanding Hollywood Career
This project marks another step for Roman Reigns in his Hollywood career, following his role alongside cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. The inclusion of both Reigns and Cody Rhodes in the Street Fighter reboot highlights a growing trend of WWE’s top stars branching into major film franchises, enhancing their profiles beyond wrestling.
