Roman Reigns Says He’ll Stay in WWE as He Takes Bigger Film Roles

He commits to juggling WWE duties alongside a live‑action Street Fighter role as Akuma.

Overview

  • Speaking on Stephanie McMahon’s What’s Your Story? podcast, Reigns said he has no plans to leave wrestling and intends to remain a WWE Superstar.
  • He said he wants to be the first to truly do both, aiming to lead a movie and still main event pay‑per‑views.
  • Reigns acknowledged insurance and contractual limits tied to film work, noting that his schedule between premium live events offers some flexibility.
  • Reporting says he has been cast as Akuma in a live‑action Street Fighter film, with coverage listing Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, 50 Cent, and Cody Rhodes among the cast.
  • The stance marks a shift from an April Vanity Fair comment about scaling back after his current deal, and he is currently slated to face Bronson Reed at WWE Clash in Paris.
