Former WWE Women’s Champion Bags Yet Another Big Screen Role Ahead of Evolution 2

It is a historical fact that WWE stars have tried their hand at capturing the bright lights of Hollywood at some point in their career. The Rock famously left the promotion back in 2003 to become a movie star and is now the highest-paid A-lister in the business today. Even John Cena and Batista have followed suit and are known for iconic roles in The Peacemaker series and Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, respectively. And it seems another megastar is preparing to make big strides in what could be the final few years of her Hall of Fame-worthy career. Case in point: Becky Lynch!Sometime back, there were rumors of ‘The Man’ hanging up her boots for good amidst her year-long hiatus from WWE. However, the Irishwoman returned at WrestleMania 41 and is now reigning as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion on Raw. But this doesn’t mean that Lynch is giving up on her Hollywood dreams. In fact, Lynch is reported to star in the upcoming FX comedy series ‘Movers’ alongside Darius Homayoun, Manny Montana, and Maz Jobrani. The series is created by one of the minds behind Reno 911! According to a July 7 report from Deadline, the network has officially approved the pilot. This means the pilot episode will be made, and based on how it turns out, F/X will then decide whether to order a full season. The series is expected to be an improvised workplace comedy based on the lives of a group of movers. Robert Ben Grant, who created Reno 911! is the show’s lead. Apart from this, fans will see Lynch in Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 later in the month and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy anywhere between now and 2026. The trend of wrestlers featuring in films is not new, but recently, it has seen an uptick.Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are set to appear in the live-action reboot of the Street Fighter franchise, with Rhodes donning the role of Guile and ‘The Tribal Chief’ playing Akuma.
