Another popular wrestler is joining the AEW star in Happy Gilmore 2

Apart from MJF, another popular star has been cast for the same movie. Their role will be part of a rival group of golfers going against Happy Gilmore.

Becky Lynch has been absent from WWE for more than nine months. During this hiatus, she seems to have pursued other endeavors, including the release of her autobiography. Two months ago, PWInsider reported that Lynch had been cast in the film, and she'll be part of a group of rival golfers alongside NFL player Reggie Bush.

The film, which will be released on Netflix on July 25, could be something wrestling fans should stay tuned for. These popular wrestlers are joining an already star-studded cast.
