Report: You'll Never Guess Which Street Fighter Role Roman Reigns Is Up For
Roman Reigns could be headed back to Hollywood soon for a role in the new live-action Street Fighter movie.
Earlier this morning, Deadline reported that WWE Superstar Roman Reigns is up for a mystery role in Legendary Pictures' live-action Street Fighter movie, based on the popular Capcom fighting game franchise.
We now have a very intriguing update as it pertains to which role The Tribal Chief is being considered for.
According to Jeff Sneider, Roman Reigns is up for the role of Akuma. Who is considered by many one of the most badass characters in the entire franchise. This same news was also reported hours later by Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select).
While Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji are reportedly up for the roles of Ken and Ryu, respectively, there are no reports regarding who Jason Momoa could be up for.
Wrestling fans have made many jokes in recent years are how similar Reigns and Momoa look. So it's very possible that both men are up for the same role.
While Momoa is clearly the bigger name, he has lost another role to a wrestler in the past, as both he and Dave Bautista were up for the role of Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.

Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star
Former LeBron James Teammate Tells Wild Club Story About Lakers Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James takes precise care of his body, which has helped him play 22 seasons in the NBA at an elite level. Advertisement James is 40 years old. He's the oldest active player in the NBA. The average person wouldn't know that by watching him play, as James made the All-NBA Second Team this year and became the oldest player in NBA history to receive an MVP vote, breaking Michael Jordan's 23-year-old record. A four-time MVP, James has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers (twice), Miami Heat and Lakers. He's a four-time champion and a four-time Finals MVP. James is the only player in NBA history to win a Finals MVP Award with three teams. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James© Soobum Im-Imagn Images A future Hall of Famer, James won his first two titles with the Heat in 2012 and 2013. Mario Chalmers, who was on those Miami teams, recently told NFL legend Shannon Sharpe that James used to get treatment in the clubs. Advertisement "I tell people this all the time, Bron will really get treatment if he was in the club. Like, he would literally have something on his knees or something on his back inside the club. So it's like why is somebody doing that, like that's a real dedication to just be in the club with treatment." Chalmers said. Sharpe went on asking what were the kind of treatments he is doing in the club. "Not ice bags, it'd be like the stim, like the stim machine that shoot electrolyte or electricity in your knees and stuff like that. He always have something [for] recovery." James has said many times that he takes recovery very seriously. The leading scorer in NBA history has never undergone surgery on his body because of an injury. The small forward is arguably the most durable athlete in NBA history. Advertisement Arguably the greatest player of all time, James has career averages of 27.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks. He's the only player in NBA history to rank top five all-time in points and assists. James, who turns 41 in December, has a player option to return to the Lakers next season worth $52.6 million. The King is widely expected to pick up his option and play his 23rd NBA season.
