In an unexpected turn of events, Lewis Tan, the star of Mortal Kombat 2, and Andrew Schulz, an actor in the upcoming Street Fighter, have engaged in a verbal exchange that has generated great interest among video game and movie fans. It all started when Schulz, during his appearance at the Game Awards, commented that the cast of Mortal Kombat was more motivated by economic reasons, in contrast to his own franchise, whose cast, according to him, is driven by the passion of the fans.

In an unexpected turn of events, Lewis Tan, star of Mortal Kombat 2, and Andrew Schulz, actor in the upcoming Street Fighter, have engaged in a verbal exchange that has generated great interest among fans of video games and cinema. It all started when Schulz, during his appearance at the Game Awards, commented that the cast of Mortal Kombat was more motivated by economic reasons, in contrast to his own franchise, whose cast, according to him, is driven by the passion of the fans.
A dispute over two mythical fighting games
Tan did not take long to respond to Schulz’s statements, expressing on Twitter that he almost spilled his drink from laughing upon hearing such claims. In his appearance on The Brandon Davis Show, Tan referred to the clash as something positive, emphasizing his appreciation for the rivalry and adding that Schulz, who is better known as a comedian than as an actor, “is obviously not really a fighter”.
The situation became even more complicated when Cody Rhodes, who also participates in the movie as Guile, entered the controversy. During the same interview, he outlined a defense of Schulz, describing him as “a bit loud and hot-headed,” and claiming that, as a fellow project member, he would be willing to “dominate anyone from Mortal Kombat.” Such statements resemble the usual rivalries created in the world of professional wrestling to generate excitement for events.
Fans of both universes are expressing their desire to see a movie that combines the worlds of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, which could result in an anticipated showdown on the big screen. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 2 will premiere on May 8, 2026, and Street Fighter will arrive on October 16, 2026. With the explosive atmosphere that has been created, only time will tell if these rivalries translate into a definitive cinematic crossover.

This weekend Wrestlemania 41 took place. Being a two-night event, Wrestlemania remains one of the biggest wrestling events in the world, alongside AEW’s All In and NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom. With sixty-three thousand attendees over its two days, it is a celebration of wrestling and its history that many people did not want to miss. And we also want to dedicate a small space to it.
Because Wrestlemania is legendary. And what happens here always holds a special place in the world of wrestling. That’s why we are going to talk about the five biggest moments of this forty-first edition of the event. One that has had its ups and downs, without a doubt, but that fans will recognize has been tremendously special due to some of the title changes and the special appearances that no one expected.
Yeet to the heavyweight
Gunther has been the undisputed heavyweight champion for months. No one has been able to overshadow him, and for very good reasons. His blend of a tremendously powerful style with precisely calculated movements in the ring makes him practically unbeatable. That is, until he encountered his unexpected match in one of the former strongmen of the Tribal Chief.
Jey Uso managed to defeat Gunther after just over fifteen minutes of fighting by submission, becoming the second person to defeat the now former champion in this way. The first was Ilja Dragunov, which places Jey Uso in a more than notable position for his new reign. Considering how high Gunther has set the bar, he will have to work hard to maintain it.
Tiffany Stratton retains her crown
Tiffany Stratton arrived at Wrestlemania with a duty: to keep the WWE Women’s Championship belt. And it wasn’t going to be easy. In front of her was Charlotte Flair, one of the most decorated champions in the history of the company, who may have gone overboard with her on the way to this match. Something that has been noticeable in the ring.
After almost twenty minutes of fighting and with Stratton losing a tooth along the way, she managed to defeat the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair in a titanic duel where she has established herself as one of the strong women in the company. How long will it last? We don’t know. There are great competitors who will undoubtedly go after her title, but after a victory like this at Wrestlemania, it is undeniable that Tiffany Stratton’s value has skyrocketed.
The least expected heel turn
In the triple threat between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns, anything could happen, but let’s be honest: we all expected that the one who would lose would be Seth Rollins. Pinning Punk or Reigns? That’s not going to happen, right? Well. Unless Paul Heyman decides to turn his back on CM Punk and ally with Rollins, securing him a victory in a match lasting just over thirty minutes.
The end of the first night was intense, unexpected, and full of emotions. It wasn’t the best match of the day, nor can it be said that it was a great match, but at least we can state without a doubt that it created an interesting situation that could take us to many different places. That heel turn by Seth Rollins and Heyman teaming up with him, turning their backs on both Reigns and Punk, is something we didn’t see coming. And we are eager to see what consequences it has.
Iyo Sky does it again
The women’s world title has revolved around the conflict between Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. These two women have only had eyes for each other and the possibility of tearing each other apart at the slightest opportunity. Which, without a doubt, has been a mistake. Because the fight was not just between them, but it had a third leg to the stool: Iyo Sky, the champion before and after the fight began.
Achieving a great victory at Wrestlemania, she continues to show that the women’s division in WWE remains the most interesting part of WWE today. And that Iyo Sky continues to be one of its greatest assets. Something we never doubted for a second, but this Wrestlemania has confirmed it once again.
The seventeenth
John Cena against Cody Rhodes was supposed to be a classic. Unfortunately, it won’t be. As a match, it hasn’t been what we expected, and it hasn’t helped that the build-up to it hasn’t been the best. Also, the intervention of a Travis Scott, who should have been The Rock, could have made things much more interesting for the future. But let’s be honest. John Cena with his seventeenth world title in the last year of his career feels right.
We would have preferred it to be different. Better. That doesn’t change the fact that it is what it should be. John Cena is a legendary wrestler, very beloved by a large part of the audience, and it feels right that he is the new world champion. Quien consiga vencerle y retirarle, será un héroe y conseguirá un enorme push. Will they know how to capitalize on this in WWE? That remains to be seen. What is certain is that seeing John Cena as champion again feels good. And it’s because John Cena is the eternal champion of the company for a good reason: he is liked a lot.
Money in the Bank takes place this weekend and there are several rumors that this could be one of the most interesting ppvs of the season.
The wrestling world is having a busy few weeks because, no matter which federation you follow, all of them are offering great shows and putting good fights on the table. This weekend it’s WWE’s turn to be the protagonist, because on Saturday July 1st at 21:00, from London, we will be able to see one of the biggest ppv of the year of Vince McMahon’s company. The one known as Money in the Bank.
Money In The Bank is a ppv where, in addition to regular bouts, there are two bouts with special stipulations: the Money in the Bank. Ladder matches, without disqualification, for five to seven people, where the winner is the one who manages to reach and unhook a briefcase hanging from the ceiling. With its origin in 2010, where the wrestler The Miz managed to overcome names of the stature of Chris Jericho, Edge or Randy Orton, it would not be until 2017 where they would make the first female Money in the Bank, where Carmela would win. If it is a highly anticipated match, it is because the owner of the briefcase can exchange it for a title match for any belt in the company at any time, practically ensuring that the winner of Money in the Bank will be the next world or heavyweight champion. For only twice in twelve years has a wrestler failed in the exchange.
This year, moreover, the stakes are particularly high because of what is happening behind the scenes. While there is a clear favorite in the women’s Money in the Bank, with Iyo Sky aiming to challenge current WWE Women’s Champion Asuka, there are two favorites in the men’s event. Both of them quite controversial.
The top favorite is a man known even to those unfamiliar with wrestling, since he is the Youtuber Logan Paul. With a brief career, but full of successes in WWE, he is the favorite to win the briefcase according to the bookmakers, as well as being the one who has been systematically pushing himself in all directions to win it. The favorite of the public, and it seems that the current head of WWE, Triple H, is LA Knight, a man of great charisma who has known how to connect with the public in a unique way. As the distant third probable winner in Shinsuke Nakamura, it all seems to be between Logan Paul and LA Knight; the favorite of the management and the marketing department and the favorite of the public.
But also, Money in the Bank promises a surprise return. Because everything indicates that, after a few weeks without appearing on television, Brock Lesnar will appear on the ppv. With no bout scheduled, it is clear that he will appear to confront Cody Rhodes and end their rivalry at Summerslam, ppv scheduled for August 5, with a third and final bout with a special stipulation. Will he attack you during or after combat? And what will that special stipulation be? Fortunately, there is a little more than twenty-four hours left for us to know. Because this summer, if you’re a fan of wrestling, you’re going to eat well.
