Braun Strowman Pitches The Perfect Role For Himself In The Street Fighter Movie
Former WWE star Braun Strowman wants a role in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, and he's got the perfect one in mind. Recent reports revealed that Roman Reigns is one of the top names being considered for a role in the live-action adaptation of the iconic Street Fighter video game franchise. Alongside Reigns, Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, and Andrew Koji. They all are also reportedly in talks for roles in the film, which Legendary Pictures is producing. Casting decisions have not yet been finalized. However, amid the buzz surrounding Reigns' potential casting, Braun Strowman expressed his interest in joining the Street Fighter movie. He reacted to the news by taking to X, formerly Twitter. He hinted he wants to play Zangief. Strowman does bear a slight resemblance to Zangief, aka the 'Red Cyclone' from the Street Fighter series. He wouldn't have to change much, aside from trimming up his beard and growing a uniquely shaped patch of chest hair. (But hey, prosthetics are available too!) Zangief first appeared in Street Fighter II. He is a Russian character with a pro wrestling and Sambo background that has continued to appear in each of the mainline editions of the legendary video game series, along with other spinoffs. 'Cough cough Zangief……Me…….. cough cough cough!!!!!,' Strowman wrote on Twitter/X. Related: Earlier this month, WWE released nearly 20 talents from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. The list included Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter. NXT stars like Cora Jade, Eddy Thorpe, Riley Osborne, and Gigi Dolin were also let go. WWE released Strowman again. However, a recent project he filmed with USA Network is still on track for later this year. The Wrap recently announced that Strowman will be getting his own food-related show this fall. The description of the show is as follows: 'Braun Strowman as he eats his way across America in 'Everything On The Menu with Braun Strowman' on USA Network.'

Kevin Nash Saw Recently Released WWE Star As The Next Brock Lesnar
Kevin Nash has high praise for a recently released WWE Superstar, comparing him to Brock Lesnar. Earlier this month, WWE released almost 20 talents across RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. Many of the releases were shocking to the fanbase as they believed big things were in their future. Advertisement On the latest episode of Kliq This: The Kevin Nash Podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer spoke about the recent releases and stated that he saw Braun Strowman going in the direction of filling the void of Brock Lesnar. 'I thought that he was going to be kind of a Lesnar,' Kevin Nash said. 'That they were going to kind of give him that kind of a direction.' [H/T: Will there ever be another Brock Lesnar? With Brock Lesnar tied into the allegations against Vince McMahon, it's unlikely we'll see The Beast Incarnate back on WWE programming anytime soon. WWE's monsters seem to be far and few between nowadays. With Braun Strowman no longer with the company, it's a wonder if we'll ever see someone of Lesnar's stature get a push like that ever again.
