Cody Rhodes Says Jason Momoa Has Tools To Be WWE Star

Cody Rhodes expressed his belief that actor Jason Momoa possesses the necessary attributes to succeed as a WWE Superstar one day. Rhodes made the comments during an appearance on ESPN's The Rich Eisen Show while discussing his work on the upcoming Street Fighter movie.

He noted that Momoa has drawn comparisons to Roman Reigns, a former rival of Rhodes who has also acknowledged the similarities. Rhodes stated that it would be amazing if Momoa joined WWE because he already has all the tools for it.

While on the set of Street Fighter, Rhodes said he explained to the production team that WWE is open to collaborations with actors. He described WWE's interest in having guests, creating celebrity moments and promoting projects involving their performers. Rhodes added that he found it enjoyable to introduce people from outside the wrestling industry to what he does, extending an open invitation.

The former world champion also highlighted other Street Fighter cast members as potential WWE fits, including Olivier Richters who plays Zangief. He pointed out that the 7-foot-2 Dutch actor is the biggest in the cast and would be a no-brainer to bring in.
