Becky Lynch is stepping away from the squared circle and into the world of comedy with a major TV role locked in.
According to Deadline, Becky as officially joined the cast of FXs new workplace comedy pilot Movers. The project comes from Reno 911! creators Robert Ben Garant and Cathy Shim, who will also star in the mockumentary-style show.
Movers revolves around the chaotic, codependent lives of a crew of movers with the entire series being largely improvised. Becky Lynch joins a stacked cast that includes Maz Jobrani (Friday After Next), Darius Homayoun (Sex/Life), Tanael TJ Joachim, Manny Montana (Ironheart), along with Garant and Shim themselves.
The big question now is what this means for Lynchs wrestling schedule. She recently returned to WWE at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, teaming with Lyra Valkyria to win the WWE Womens Tag Team Titles from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. With Movers in production and set at 20th Television, it remains to be seen how this new gig will affect her time in the ring.
Its been a huge year for Lynch outside WWE as well. Shell soon appear in Happy Gilmore 2, premiering July 25 on Netflix, and has been cast in Alex Kurtzmans Star Trek for Paramount+. Her past credits include Billions, stunt work on Vikings, and playing Cyndi Lauper in NBCs Young Rock. In 2024, she also released her New York Times bestselling memoir Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl.
Becky Lynch continues to build her resume far beyond WWE but the question now is whether this new comedy role will mark the start of a longer Hollywood run.
