WWE star Cody Rhodes believes Jason Momoa could fit perfectly into wrestling. The two actors are working together on the Street Fighter movie. Rhodes plays Guile, while Momoa portrays Blanka in the movie.

Fans have often compared Momoa’s appearance to Roman Reigns. The Hollywood star has also shared the spotlight with WWE stars. Now, Rhodes has explained why Momoa could become a WWE Superstar.

How Jason Momoa’s imposing presence reminds Cody Rhodes of wrestling legends

During an appearance on ESPN’s The Rich Eisen Show, Rhodes praised Momoa’s potential. He believes the actor already has the qualities needed for WWE. Rhodes also explained how he promotes wrestling while working on movie sets.

He said, “It would be amazing [if Momoa joined WWE], and he’s got all the tools for it already,” Rhodes began. “I think I try to slowly, with everybody in the production [of Street Fighter], explain how we’re very open [to collaborating in WWE].”

“We love to have guests. Love to try a celebrity moment. We love to promote the things that our boys and girls are in. So throughout the course of the deal, it was fun to explain to a whole different bubble, I’m in the wrestling bubble, what I do. That’s an open invite.”

Rhodes also believes other Street Fighter cast members could fit WWE. He said, “There’s some wrestlers in the cast. They may not know they’re wrestlers, you know, like Olivier, the Dutch giant who plays Zangief, is seven foot.”

“Who knows? I think he’s the biggest actor. That’s a no-brainer. Get him out,” said the former world champion. “You don’t have to do anything. People run into you. Maybe one guy slams you, maybe it’s me, right?” [H/T: WrestlingInc]

Rhodes isn’t the only WWE star linked to this discussion. Roman Reigns has also discussed Momoa’s potential in wrestling. Fans have frequently noticed similarities between the Hollywood actor and Reigns.

With Rhodes and Reigns both praising Momoa’s potential, speculation will continue. As of now a future appearance remains a possibility rather than a confirmed plan.
