Roman Reigns commented on Jason Momoa’s potential in professional wrestling during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He stated that Momoa has the physical presence and on-screen personality that could do well for WWE.
Roman is set to portray Akuma in the Street Fighter film, while Momoa is linked to the role of Blanka. Cody Rhodes is also involved in the project, cast as Guile. The film is scheduled for release on October 16. The conversation also referenced Momoa and Reigns’ interaction at The Game Awards, where the two met in person.
“Oh, he’s the man, unfortunately, he wasn’t down in Sydney where we were shooting, and when I finally saw him at the awards show that we presented at, you could tell he had the FOMO. Like, he had just been missing out. You know what I mean? And he’s just such a nice dude, a good brother. And he brought this crazy energy. Guinness in hand. Once we knocked it out, it was just a good time to hang.”
During the discussion with Jimmy Fallon, Reigns said Momoa has the right look and charisma to become a successful WWE Superstar.
“When I’m done, Jason, it’s all yours,” Reigns said. “I think he would be great, to be honest. He’s got, obviously, all the tools, physically. He has a great charisma about him. If you’ve been around him yeah and he’s eccentric. He’s a little bit different. So I think he would fit in good with us, for sure.”
The discussion included mention of an upcoming film project based on Street Fighter. Momoa has not publicly indicated any interest in pursuing a wrestling career.
