The Man came around.
Becky Lynch will be featured in season three of Young Rock as she plays Cyndi Lauper in the series, which will harken back to the days of WrestleMania 1.
Stacey Leilua, who plays Ata Johnson in the series, spoke to Adrian Hernandez of The Bet 1140 AM and discussed Becky's role on the show.
"She was so cool. I'm not a huge wrestling fan, we spent the morning in the makeup chair and this is an indication of the kind of person she is. We spent the morning in makeup and she has this Irish accent, and she's like, 'My name is Rebecca.' I really liked her and I could connect with our guest and make conversation, she's a mom and I'm a mom, we're talking about our girls. Then, going onto set, Brian Gewirtz came over and was like, 'Do you know who that is?' 'Yeah, that's Rebecca.' He's like, 'That's Becky Lynch, The Man.' 'What are you talking about?' So gobsmacked. 'Oh my gosh.' She was so cool and professional. The accent is huge, to go from that to Cyndi Lauper was a big thing. She was amazing," she said.
Season three of Young Rock premieres on November 4 at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
