She was subsequently cast in the upcoming action movie, Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo. The action-thriller also stars Shun Oguri and Lily James. It is set for release in Japan on Oct. 23. Before then, it will hold its world premiere at TIFF on Sep. 14.
It appears Morgan is setting herself up for a career in Hollywood once her in-ring career comes to an end. She is currently in her third reign as Women’s World Champion after beating Stephanie Vaquer to win it at WrestleMania 42 in April.
She recently had her first title defense against Iyo Sky at SummerSlam. Morgan then successfully defended the title against Vaquer during the Sep. 7 edition of Monday Night RAW.
Throughout her young career, Morgan has accomplished almost everything imaginable. She is a three-time world champion, and she has won a record four tag team titles. Additionally, she has won a Royal Rumble and a Money in the Bank ladder match.
