10 Fascinating WWE Backstage Facts About Becky Lynch
6. She Was A Stunt Performer In An Episode Of Vikings
Wrestlers appear on TV all the time, but it's not always SmackDown or Dynamite that's getting their faces. There are plenty of avenues for wrestlers to go down on the small screen, with many appearing in popular shows. Sasha Banks popped up in The Mandalorian, Cody Rhodes was in Arrow, and Becky Lynch was (very briefly) in Vikings.
In 2013, Lynch dipped her toes into the TV industry as she played a stuntwoman in an episode of the action-packed historical series. She acted as a stunt double on the Season 1 episode "A King's Ransom," taking part in one of the show's infamous battle sequences. She's not even the only WWE star in the show, as Adam Copeland (Edge) also appears as Kjetill Flatnose in Season 5/6.
While many wrestlers transition to TV after making a name for themselves, this appearance actually came before Lynch made it to WWE. She debuted for NXT in 2014, the year after she got this impressive credit on her resume.
Lynch has since made a few more on-screen appearances outside of WWE, such as in The Marine 6 and playing Cyndi Lauper in Young Rock. But, she has mostly stuck to doing her best work inside a wrestling ring.
