In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes dropped a bombshell, revealing that the production team behind the upcoming Street Fighter film went to great lengths to keep him and Roman Reigns apart during filming. The reasons behind this decision are shrouded in mystery, but one thing is clear: tensions between the two WWE legends are still palpable, even in the world of Hollywood.
A Delicate Situation
Cody Rhodes, known for his intense rivalry with Roman Reigns, was one of the many WWE stars tapped for the highly anticipated Street Fighter film. However, it appears that Rhodes’ presence on set rubbed some production staff the wrong way. According to sources close to Rhodes, the filmmakers were worried that the two WWE legends might clash if they crossed paths, potentially causing a scene or disrupting the filming process.
“It’s no secret that Cody and Roman have a history, and I think the production team was trying to avoid any potential drama,” a WWE insider revealed. “They didn’t want to risk anything going off-script or, worse, having Cody and Roman have a confrontation in front of the entire cast and crew.”
Keeping the Peace
In an effort to maintain a peaceful and productive set, the production team allegedly took steps to keep Rhodes and Reigns separate. According to Rhodes himself, this meant that he and Reigns were often kept in different areas of the set, with little to no interaction between the two.
“It was pretty clear that the production team was trying to keep us apart,” Rhodes said on INSIGHT. “I’d be on set, and Roman would be on set, but we’d rarely cross paths. It was almost like they were trying to keep us in separate bubbles.”
Behind the Scenes Drama
While the exact nature of the tension between Rhodes and Reigns remains unclear, it’s no secret that the two have a long and complicated history. Their rivalry on WWE television was one of the most intense and memorable storylines of 2022, culminating in a highly anticipated match at WrestleMania.
Sources close to the situation revealed that the production team was aware of the history between Rhodes and Reigns and were taking steps to mitigate any potential conflict.
“The production team was aware of the tension between Cody and Roman, and they were trying to do everything they could to keep the peace,” the insider said. “They didn’t want to risk anything going off-script or causing a scene on set.”
A Hollywood Conundrum
The Street Fighter film is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, with a star-studded cast and a budget to match. The fact that the production team felt the need to keep Rhodes and Reigns apart raises questions about the level of tension between the two WWE legends.
While it’s unclear what exactly went down behind the scenes, it’s clear that the production team was taking no chances. By keeping Rhodes and Reigns separate, the filmmakers were able to minimize the risk of any potential conflict and keep the focus on the film.
As for Rhodes and Reigns, it remains to be seen how their relationship will unfold in the future. One thing is certain, however: the tension between these two WWE legends is still palpable, even in the world of Hollywood.
What’s Next for Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns?
The future of the rivalry between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear: the tension between the two WWE legends is still very much alive.
Sources close to the situation revealed that WWE officials are keeping a close eye on the situation, with a potential reunion between Rhodes and Reigns on the horizon.
“It’s only a matter of time before Cody and Roman face off again,” the insider said. “WWE officials are keeping a close eye on the situation, and they’re waiting for the right moment to strike.”
As for Cody Rhodes, he’s keeping his options open, with a potential return to the WWE in the near future.
