From Becky Lynch to Liv Morgan: Here Are 5 WWE Female Superstars Who Have Acted in Movies, and TV Shows

Pro wrestling falls somewhere under sports entertainment and performing arts. Fans could agree that the superstars involved need to display phenomenal acting prowess to convince the audience of the story they tell inside the ring. Due to this, many WWE stars have made their way to Hollywood. WWE legends, such as Dwayne Johnson, Batista, and John Cena, have established themselves as a prominent name in Hollywood. But today we will be talking about the lesser-known female WWE superstars who have etched a mark in Hollywood.

Becky Lynch

The Irish pro wrestler, former WWE champion, and the wife of Seth Rollins have appeared in Hollywood projects in the past. However, her first television appearance is something that fans might have missed. She was a stunt double and performer in the seventh episode of the first season of the famous television series, Vikings. The RAW star featured in the series in 2013, a year before her NXT debut. However, that wasn’t the only time she featured in an action avatar.

Just three years after her NXT debut and a year after becoming the inaugural SmackDown Women’s champion, she was written off television to star in the WWE Studios film: The Marine 6: Close Quarters. She donned the role of the villain Irish criminal, Maddy Hayes, in the movie. The movie also featured The Miz and Shawn Micheals in major roles. After that, we saw the WWE star in a different role in Dwayne Johnson’s docuseries, Young Rock. She portrayed popular singer, songwriter, and activist Cyndi Lauper in an episode of the show.

Liv Morgan

While many WWE stars make their movie debut with movies produced by the WWE Studios, the same did not come true for Liv Morgan. The former WWE Women’s Tag Team champion made her Hollywood debut with the movie The Kill Room. Yale Productions & Idiot Savant Pictures produced the movie. Morgan starred along with some big names, such as Uma Thurman and Samuel Jackson. She played a character called Emma in the movie. In 2022, she guest starred as herself in the second season of the horror television series, Chucky. While there are no updates on any of her Hollywood projects, she has returned to WWE with the 2024 Royal Rumble.

The movie is being filmed in Clearwater, Tampa Bay. Deville also mentioned in an interview that her prior experience in the WWE ring has aided her acting endeavors.

Naomi

Trinity Faty, a.k.a Naomi returned to WWE in the 2024 Royal Rumble PLE. Her stellar legacy in pro wrestling has helped her make a few appearances in other media as well. She has appeared as Murphy in The Marine 5: Battleground. The Miz starred in the lead role in the movie. However, Naomi’s role only amounted to a minor one. Moreover, she was killed off within a short time of appearing in the film.

Charlotte Flair

The Queen of WWE is currently out of action due to a serious injury she suffered while in a brawl with Asuka. However, fans should not forget that the 14-time Women’s World Champion has starred in a movie project as well. Just like Becky Lynch, she has played the role of a villain in the television comedy movie, Psych: The Movie. 

It was the continuation of the famous American dramedy, Psych.
