Becky Lynch on Filming ‘Star Trek’, Meeting Adam Sandler On ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ and Feud With Lyra Valkyria: ‘It’s Insane How Much I’ve Been Wronged’


WWE star Becky Lynch talks feuding with former protégé Lyra Valkyria, filming 'Star Trek,' and watching Adam Sandler at work in 'Happy Gilmore 2.'

Tensions boiled over, and the match was officially made: mentor versus protégé for the Intercontinental Title at “Backlash.” On a recent episode of “Monday Night Raw,” Valkyria told Lynch she already “knows [she’s] a better wrestler than [her],” and that she hopes she’s going to be a better person too. As the newest member of the vast “Star Trek”universe, Lynch was in turn able to introduce her own family, husband (fellow WWE wrestler Seth Rollins), and 4-year-old daughter Roux, to the world of “Trek.” “They came to set one day. She graduated from the Dublin Institute of Technology with a theatre arts degree in 2012, worked as a stunt performer on “Vikings” prior to WWE fame, and even appeared as wrestling aficionado Cyndi Lauper in an episode of “Young Rock.”
