WWE Superstars Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes made a special appearance at the 2025 Game Awards, where they were part of the live-action movie Street Fighter cast. However, during their time on stage, there was a noticeable tension between the two as Reigns publicly snubbed Rhodes while he was speaking at the event.
The Street Fighter team took the stage to promote the film and announce the winner of the Best Ongoing Game of the Year award. Cody Rhodes, also known as The American Nightmare, spoke a few lines about the nominees, highlighting the dedication and passion they exhibit throughout the year. Reigns, who is currently the Undisputed WWE Champion, urged Rhodes to put more effort into praising the nominees, implying that his presentation was lacking.
In a moment that showcased Reigns staying in character even outside of WWE, he took a playful jab at Rhodes, emphasizing the need for more engaging presenters. Despite the slight tension, the cast ultimately thanked the fans and announced No Man’s Sky as the winner of the Best Ongoing Game of the Year Award.
In a separate tribute to John Cena, WWE released a video on YouTube featuring several superstars expressing their gratitude and admiration for the legendary wrestler. Cena is set to have his final match on December 13, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event against Gunther in Washington, DC. In the video, stars were seen mimicking Cena’s trademark gestures and holding flashcards with messages of thanks. Even the heels in the locker room joined in celebrating Cena’s illustrious career, with Drew McIntyre eventually warming up to pay tribute to The Leader of Cenation.
As Cena wraps up his retirement tour, having won 17 WWE world titles and achieved Grand Slam Champion status, his fellow WWE superstars came together to honor his incredible legacy. The video serves as a heartfelt tribute to Cena’s impact on the wrestling world and beyond.
