Earlier this year, it was reported that AEW’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman had landed a role in the upcoming film “Happy Gilmore 2”. According to Fightful Select, the role is described as “major” and filming on the movie has since wrapped. As a result, Friedman is expected to return to AEW TV soon, though it is not clear when that will take place. In addition, Friedman has landed another role in a film starring Justin Long and Ron Perlman, though there are no further details.

Opinion: It would be nice to have Friedman back in AEW for an extended run, as he has had some long breaks from the promotion and it’s starting to be an issue. That matters the most now though is that he seems primed to come back and has only been gone for a little while this time. Friedman is one of the biggest stars in all of AEW but it would be nice to have him around a bit more frequently.
