WWE Champion Cody Rhodes Addresses Future Acting Career

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has provided an update on his potential acting future following his role as Guile in Street Fighter.

Rhodes recently returned from some time away in Australia filming for the movie, which is set to release in just over a year, and also features Roman Reigns in the role of Akuma.

Speaking with Local 12 in Cincinnati, Rhodes was asked if acting is something he wants to pursue more going forward after that experience, following in the footsteps of the likes of The Rock.

He replied:

“If those opportunities come up, I love those opportunities. The idea that we can go off and do this, and tell stories in different worlds, meet these new people, and challenge ourselves as storytellers or artists or however you wanna look at a pro-wrestler.

“It was very helpful for me to do it. I came back better at wrestling, believe it or not, from being able to go and do that.

“So I’d like to find my own lane. I’ve watched what The Rock has done, Smashing Machine is – no pun intended – it’s a smash. It’s unbelievable, his work.

“Batista, completely different lane, unbelievable work. John Cena and the Peacemaker stuff, it’s gangbusters.

“If that’s the route we’re going, I wanna find a different lane, but I’m very grateful for the path that they’ve set and how they’re doing it.”
