Happy Gilmore 2 Trailer Offers Closer Look at MJF and Becky Lynch’s Roles
The new trailer for Happy Gilmore 2 has just been released, offering a promising glimpse into the return of Adam Sandler's iconic character. This sequel is set to feature significant star power from the wrestling world, with WWE superstar Becky Lynch and former AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) taking prominent roles. Additionally, the trailer confirms a role for the notable Nikki Garcia, formerly Nikki Bella.
The initial impression suggests Happy is poised to bring his distinctive approach back to the golf course, and there's a sense that this could be an entertaining continuation of the story.
Here's the trailer – take a look!
The trailer is packed with both familiar faces and exciting new additions. Beyond Becky Lynch, MJF, and Nikki Garcia, we're seeing a notable lineup of cameos and co-stars. Viewers can expect to spot Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller, and the one and only Christopher McDonald, reprising his role as Shooter McGavin. It's also interesting to see Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, joining the cast. Furthermore, Adam Sandler's daughters, Sadie Sandler and Sunny Sandler, and the comedic presence of Blake Clark are included.

It presents a diverse ensemble, and the combination of comedy, sports, and entertainment figures appears well-suited for the Happy Gilmore universe.
Previously, Becky and MJF threw playful jabs at each other about their time on set. It seems even outside the ring, these two maintain a dynamic rapport.
Becky Lynch, known for her sharp wit, shared her thoughts on working with MJF: "I did. You know, a very nice boy. Great chats. Of course, he knows he'd lose at [a promo battle], but we had great chats. Unfortunately, it was way before this happened, but I feel like he would completely agree with everything that I'm saying about Lyra.”
MJF, in his characteristic "Better Than You" style, responded with his own perspective: “Agree with Becks fully on Lyra, she seems like a horrible person and clearly a gross poor. Enjoyed my time with 'the man' on set. A very nice girl and an upstanding citizen. However….. not too sure about her thoughts on a potential promo battle 😉 #BetterthanYou”
So, for those anticipating its release, Happy Gilmore 2 is set to arrive soon, and it will be available to stream exclusively on Netflix. It will be interesting to see how this new chapter unfolds with its blend of comedy and wrestling talent.
