SummerSlam wasn’t just a huge weekend for WWE fans; it also delivered a brand-new look at one of 2026’s most anticipated video game movies.
A new TV spot for Street Fighter debuted during the event, giving audiences their best look yet at Roman Reigns in action as the iconic demon warrior Akuma.
While Reigns has appeared briefly in previous marketing, this latest footage finally showcases the WWE superstar embracing the character’s imposing physicality as the legendary Street Fighter villain.
Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!
Helmed by director Kitao Sakurai, Street Fighter is set to bring the battle from the arcade to the big screen with Hadoukens, roundhouses, and all your favorite characters.
In theaters October 16, 2026.
