Becky Lynch is set to make her long-awaited return to WWE, potentially during the RAW debut episode on Netflix. Speculation about her appearance grew after she was featured in the promo for the January 6th RAW edition on Netflix. Last month, Lynch attended a WWE media event with Netflix, despite being absent from WWE programming for over seven months after her match against Liv Morgan. Following that loss, reports indicated that Lynch’s contract had expired.
However, her presence at both WWE and Netflix media event and her appearance in the January 6th RAW and Netflix promo suggests she may have signed a new deal. While WWE has yet to confirm this, these signs strongly indicate her return. As RAW prepares for this historic night, major news regarding Lynch has recently emerged.
Becky Lynch filmed scenes for upcoming Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2
PWInsider reports that Becky Lynch has filmed a supporting role in Happy Gilmore 2, the upcoming sequel to the 1990s comedy classic starring Adam Sandler. This sequel is set to release on Netflix later this year.
Reports suggest that Lynch plays a member of a rival group of golfers, which also includes football star Reggie Bush. Although details about her role remain under wraps, it’s confirmed that she has already filmed her scene. Moreover, the film has another professional wrestling star — AEW star MJF.
Even multi-time Grammy winner Bad Bunny, who has had several matches in WWE, is in the film. Both appeared briefly in the teaser trailer that dropped a few weeks ago. The film has several connections to the professional wrestling world. However, this isn’t Lynch’s first time acting, as she has made appearances in movies and TV shows like The Marine 6, The Vikings, Billions, and Young Rock.
