Former WWE star AJ Lee (AJ Mendez) has found herself rather busy in recent years following her WWE departure in 2015.

Mendez took her first steps into the Hollywood world last year, when she helped co-write the Netflix original movie ‘Blade of the 47 Ronin’.

Now, AJ is set to appear on screen in an upcoming comedy movie with some big Hollywood names.

Per Deadline, Mendez has joined the cast for the upcoming road-trip comedy ‘Sacramento’ alongside Kristen Stewart, Michael Cera and Michael Angarano, who is set to direct the feature.

The plot synopsis for the movie is as followed:

Pic follows Rickey (Angarano), an energetic and free-spirited young man, and Glenn (Cera), his long-time friend who’s settled into domestic life. On an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento, their past comes into focus and questions their future. Erskine will play Rickey’s wife, Tallie, and Stewart is Glenn’s wife, Rosie.

Mendez and Iman Karram are set to play best friends and former pro fighters who help teach Rickey and Glenn about their own relationship.

The movie is set to begin shooting in the Spring.
