Universal pictures has greenlighted The Pact, and Deadline reports that WWE Superstar John Cena has been cast in one of the lead roles.

The movie, which marks the directorial debut of Pitch Perfect scriptwriter Kay Cannon and stars Cena, along with Leslie Mann, Ike Barinholtz, revolves around three parents who discover their daughters’ pact to lose their virginity at prom.
