Wrestling fans got a fresh look at WWE stars Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, along with New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Hirooki Goto, in the newest trailer for the *Street Fighter* movie. This thing just dropped, and it’s wild!

The Tribal Chief and American Nightmare Throw Down

Cody Rhodes, playing Guile, was interspersed throughout the ad, showing off his moves. But get ready for this: there were brief fighting scenes teasing Reigns’ Akuma and Goto’s E. Honda! Roman Reigns as Akuma? You know that’s gonna be epic.

Loaded Cast Bringing the Game to Life

The rest of the cast is stacked, too. Jason Momoa is Blanka, David Dastmalchian is M. Bison, and 50 Cent is playing Balrog. Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo will be Ryu and Ken Masters, respectively. Based on the trailer, it looks like *Street Fighter* is going all in, leaning heavily on the fantastical elements and overall vibe of its namesake video game franchise.

This feature film is releasing on October 16 in the United States. You know we’ll be there for opening night, ready to see these legends bring the video game world to life!
