Momoa, who has been an avid fan of the Street Fighter series since its inception, has been working closely with the WWE on a potential storyline that brings the iconic video game characters to the ring. While speaking with the two Superstars, Momoa was seen sporting Blanka’s signature look, complete with the character’s iconic mullet and tribal markings.
According to a source close to Cody Rhodes, the American Nightmare was reportedly starstruck by Momoa’s presence in the backstage area. “Cody’s a huge fan of Jason Momoa, and having him interact with Roman and Jason was a dream come true,” said the source. “The energy in the room was electric, and you could tell that everyone was feeding off each other’s excitement.”
The chemistry between Momoa, Reigns, and Rhodes was palpable, with the three forming an instant connection. Momoa, who has been known to be quite the jokester, was seen cracking jokes and sharing stories with the two Superstars. “Roman and Cody were both in awe of Jason’s charisma and sense of humor,” said the source. “He’s the kind of guy who can walk into a room and immediately command attention, and that’s something that’s hard to find in the wrestling world.”
The potential storyline, which is rumored to feature Blanka as a key player, is said to be a massive undertaking for the WWE. According to sources close to the production team, the company is working closely with Capcom, the creators of the Street Fighter series, to bring the iconic characters to life in a way that will be both authentic and entertaining for fans.
