Becky Lynch has transitioned from wrestling to comedy, landing a significant TV role as she broadens her career beyond the ring. According to Deadline, Lynch officially joined the cast of FX’s new workplace comedy pilot, Engine, a project created by Robert Ben Garant and Kathy Sim, known for Reno 911!
Engine will feature largely improvised dialogue, focusing on the chaotic and interdependent lives of moving crews. Alongside Lynch, the ensemble cast includes Maz Jobrani (Next Friday), Darius Homayon (Sex/Life), Tanael “TJ” Joachim, and Manny Montana (Iron Heart).
This marks another notable acting role for Lynch outside wrestling. Her previous credits include appearances in Billions, stunt work on Vikings, and a role on NBC’s Young Rock as Cyndi Roper. Looking ahead, Lynch’s film Happy Gilmore 2 premiered on Netflix on July 25th, and she’s also been cast in Alex Kurtzman’s Star Trek project for Paramount+.
As she continues to build her career beyond wrestling, the big question is whether acting will become her main focus. No matter what the future holds for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch remains impossible to ignore.
Fan Take: This news is huge for WWE fans because it highlights how versatile and marketable their stars can be beyond the ring, showing the potential for crossover success. Becky Lynch’s expanding career could bring more mainstream attention to wrestling, boosting its popularity and opening doors for other athletes in the sport.
