According to Deadline, former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman will appear in Happy Gilmore 2. According to PWInsider.com, Friedman will play Gordie, one of the sons of Happy Gilmore, as portrayed by Adam Sandler.

Opinion: This should be interesting, but what matters the most is that Friedman has landed some kind of a role. If he wants to do something as an actor, he is going to need to be on film as often as possible, with this being a good spot for him. I have no idea how well it is going to go, but ultimately this is better than nothing, as Friedman is just getting started in his acting career.
