Braun Strowman Pitches The Perfect Role For Himself In The Street Fighter Movie
Former WWE star Braun Strowman wants a role in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, and he's got the perfect one in mind.
Recent reports revealed that Roman Reigns is one of the top names being considered for a role in the live-action adaptation of the iconic Street Fighter video game franchise. Alongside Reigns, Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, and Andrew Koji. They all are also reportedly in talks for roles in the film, which Legendary Pictures is producing.
Casting decisions have not yet been finalized. However, amid the buzz surrounding Reigns' potential casting, Braun Strowman expressed his interest in joining the Street Fighter movie. He reacted to the news by taking to X, formerly Twitter. He hinted he wants to play Zangief.
Strowman does bear a slight resemblance to Zangief, aka the 'Red Cyclone' from the Street Fighter series. He wouldn't have to change much, aside from trimming up his beard and growing a uniquely shaped patch of chest hair. (But hey, prosthetics are available too!)
Zangief first appeared in Street Fighter II. He is a Russian character with a pro wrestling and Sambo background that has continued to appear in each of the mainline editions of the legendary video game series, along with other spinoffs.
'Cough cough Zangief……Me…….. cough cough cough!!!!!,' Strowman wrote on Twitter/X.

Earlier this month, WWE released nearly 20 talents from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. The list included Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Dakota Kai, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter. NXT stars like Cora Jade, Eddy Thorpe, Riley Osborne, and Gigi Dolin were also let go.
WWE released Strowman again. However, a recent project he filmed with USA Network is still on track for later this year. The Wrap recently announced that Strowman will be getting his own food-related show this fall.
The description of the show is as follows: 'Braun Strowman as he eats his way across America in 'Everything On The Menu with Braun Strowman' on USA Network.'

Cody Rhodes Has Perfect Reaction to Tom Brady's WWE Entrance
Cody Rhodes Has Perfect Reaction to Tom Brady's WWE Entrance originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tom Brady won seven Super Bowl titles during his legendary NFL career, and while all that success paved him a road to Canton, he surely made a lot of haters along the way. On Friday, Brady embraced his villainous persona again, but on a different stage— all in good fun, as he played to the crowd. Advertisement During the Fanatics Fest in New York City, the former New England Patriots quarterback made his way into the event with a championship belt and with WWE superstar Cody Rhodes' theme song blaring in the background. The three-time NFL Most Valuable Player tried to further entertain the crowd by spitting on a Sauce Gardner-New York Jets jersey and ripping New York Giants' Eli Manning uniform in half. Right then, Manning made a surprise appearance, jumping onto Brady's back and piggyback-riding him up the entrance ramp for a very WWE-like exit. Manning, of course, is also famous for leading the Giants to two Super Bowl victories over Brady and the Pats, including one in the 42nd edition of the "Big Game" in 2008, when New York ruined New England's chances for an immaculate season. Advertisement WWE shared the video of Brady's entrance via its social media platforms, which caught Cody Rhodes' attention. Rhodes, who lost his undisputed WWE Championship belt to John Cena at WrestleMania 41 last April, appeared to acknowledge Brady as the greatest of all time by leaving three goat emojis (🐐🐐🐐) as a comment to the post. Tom Brady looks on before the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Lebryk-Imagn Images Whether Brady is indeed the greatest to ever play football or not, it's clear that he still attracts quite the mainstream attention long after he retired from the sport. Now 47 years old, Brady threw for 89,214 passing yards and 649 touchdowns with 212 interceptions in 335 NFL regular season games, split between the Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Taylor Swift Wears Sky-Blue Bodysuit and Ballerina Skirt With Travis Kelce on NYC Date
THE RUNDOWN On Friday, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen in New York City after several months of rare appearances. The couple was filmed leaving a restaurant in footage shared by a fan account on X, formerly Twitter. In the video, an employee held the door open, shaking Kelce's hand as he passed by, then nodding goodbye to the Eras Tour star as she followed her boyfriend out. As they approached a car, Kelce took Swift's hand and escorted her ahead of him into the vehicle. For the hot summer night out, Swift wore a pale blue bodysuit with a short pleated skirt. She accessorized with a white handbag and white pointed-toe shoes and left her hair down in flowing waves. Kelce was wearing white shorts and a white shirt with sneakers. Swift and Kelce have been seen frequently in Florida the last few months, and attended the Stanley Cup Finals in Sunrise, Florida, on June 12. They also popped up in Tennessee on June 6, attending a backyard wedding together, and before that at Harry's West Palm Beach in Florida. Kelce reportedly rented a luxury house nearby to spend some time with Swift and his family. The couple has been recovering from a very busy winter. Swift's Eras Tour ended in December 2024. Kelce's team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played in the Super Bowl in February, he will soon return to NFL training camp ahead of the next season. On June 4, a source explained why they have been so low-key, telling Us Weekly, 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise.' A second source shared, 'Florida has been the perfect escape for them. Taylor has been coming and going to Florida and is still spending a lot of her time in NYC.'
