Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took to his Instagram and confirmed that former Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is going to appear in the role of Cyndi Lauper on the season three premiere of NBC’s Young Rock this Friday night.
He also noted that Lynch would appear in the role throughout the season:
“Cool news alert . Officially welcoming @beckylynchwwe to our YOUNG ROCK cast. Becky takes on the daunting and FUN task of playing the one and only – the icon Cyndi Lauper.
I was right there for Becky’s audition and we were all very impressed at her high level commitment as an actor to become Cyndi Lauper. No easy task, but she worked her butt off and went all in – and crushed it.
CAN’T WAIT for you guys to see Becky’s acting debut!!! TOMORROW NIGHT ON @NBC! YOUNG ROCK FRIDAY NIGHT 8:30pm EST @sevenbucksprod #fiercebabyproductions. Only on NBC.”
Lynch is currently sidelined from in-ring competition after suffering a separated shoulder in her match with Bianca Belair at SummerSlam this past July.
