WWE fans have been wondering when “The Man” Becky Lynch would be returning to the ring. Well, the answer is that it might be a while, because she’s booked a trip into space. Lynch took to social media and confirmed her role in Paramount+’s new series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
“You know when you’ve already been champion of the world, there’s really only one place to go next, and that’s to the stars. And I am so excited to share with all of you that I am joining Star Trek: Starfleet Academy as part of the bridge crew,” said Lynch.
She continued, “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.”
Lynch wrapped up with a Vulcan salture and the words “Live long and prosper.”

Lynch, aka Rebecca Quinn, has been absent from WWE TV for six months. She took a hiatus at the end of her most recent contract, but is expected to return to the company where she is a seven-time World Champion.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is described as a coming-of-age series following “the adventures of a new class of Starfleet cadets as they come of age in one of the most legendary places in the galaxy. The series will introduce viewers to this young group of cadets as they come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they will discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself.”
Lynch joins a cast that includes Sandro Rosta, Kerrice Brooks, Bella Shepard, George Hawkins, Karim Diané, Zoë Steiner, and Academy Award winners Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. Also appearing on the show are familiar Star Trek veterans Robert Picardo, Tig Notaro, Oded Fehr, and Mary Wiseman.
