WWE superstar Becky Lynch is stepping out of the wrestling ring and into the final frontier! In an exciting announcement that’s taken both Hollywood and wrestling fans by storm, Lynch has officially joined the cast of the highly anticipated Paramount+ series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Best known for dominating the WWE ring as “The Man,” Becky Lynch (real name Rebecca Quin) is set to play a pivotal role in this rebooted take on Star Trek, which will explore the lives of young cadets training at the prestigious Starfleet Academy. While her character details are still under wraps, insiders hint that Lynch’s role will showcase her dynamic personality and commanding presence—qualities that have made her one of WWE’s biggest stars.
This isn’t Lynch’s first brush with acting. She has previously appeared in guest spots on TV shows like Billions and even lent her voice to animated projects. However, the Starfleet Academy marks her most significant Hollywood role to date and could signal a new trajectory for her career.
The show, set in the Star Trek universe, promises a fresh perspective on the iconic sci-fi franchise. With a younger cast and modern storytelling, the series aims to attract a new generation of fans while keeping the spirit of exploration and adventure alive.
Fans of both Star Trek and WWE are already buzzing about the crossover appeal of this casting. Social media platforms lit up as Lynch posted a teaser on her Instagram, captioning it, “From the ring to the stars. 🚀🌌 Ready for a new adventure.”
Paramount+ has kept tight-lipped about the plot of Starfleet Academy. Still, it’s expected to dive deep into the trials and triumphs of aspiring Starfleet officers as they navigate relationships, rivalries, and intergalactic challenges. Lynch’s addition to the show suggests a character who’s tough, bold, and unafraid to bend the rules—a perfect fit for her fiery on-screen persona.
As one of the most recognizable faces in wrestling, Lynch’s venture into the Star Trek franchise is a smart move for Paramount+. It’s a crossover that could draw WWE’s massive fanbase into the Star Trek universe, creating a cultural moment that blends sci-fi and sports entertainment.
Production for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is already underway, with the series expected to premiere in late 2025. As excitement builds, fans wonder: will Becky Lynch’s character be a hero, a villain, or something entirely unexpected?
