Becky Lynch Joins Cast Of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

Becky Lynch has announced that she'll be part of the cast of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, the upcoming series on Paramount Plus.

Revealing the news on X/Twitter, the former double-champion in WWE explained:

"When you’ve already been champion of the world, there’s only one place to go next, and that’s to the stars.

"I’m so excited to share with all of you that I’m joining ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ as part of the bridge crew. This has been the most amazing experience, acting alongside just a spectacular cast and crew, and I cannot wait for all of you to check it out when it comes out on Paramount Plus."

No release date has yet been announced for the show, which is set to be the 12th series in the iconic franchise.

Becky hasn't wrestled since May, losing a Steel Cage Match to Liv Morgan on Raw. Her WWE contract was reported to have expired shortly afterwards.

Lynch is expected to make her WWE return in the very near future, with reports noting she is expected to be back in the mix for WWE Raw's premiere on Netflix on January 6.
