Yesterday, news broke that The Miz would be taking a prolonged hiatus from WWE to film the newest installment of the Marine franchise. However, he’s not the only WWE Superstar who’s landed a role in the upcoming film.
Former SmackDown Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will also be working alongside the Miz on set. Becky appeared to be written off of television on Tuesday’s episode on SmackDown as she took a gratuitous beating from newcomers Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan. For the Irish Lass Kicker, this will be her first ever WWE movie.
