Rumor is that she’s going to be in a Marvel film as well: Keep in mind that it might not necessarily be a MCU movie, and it could easily be a SPUMC movie. this is literally the only person I say seeing that... and it could easily be as much as an extra or a background cameo....

Hiring The Rock's agent though? Probably won't be a great deal of time before she gets a Scorpion King level role that introduces her.

Yeah, even besides there not being any other sources to verify it yet, its such a vague 'story' that it could really mean a lot of things, though of course that vagueness is also leading some of her fans to get carried away and act as if its a big role and she's already on the path to Hollywood megastardom.

The show sure does have a cool looking slot machine.

One of Becky's biggest fans, deadlydayno on Twitter, managed to get Becky's scene on Billions uploaded. I'm not directly linking because Becky uses very strong language in it. She plays herself, and is only in it for about three minutes. Becky visits the office and draws attention very quickly...
EDIT: She's just taken the clips down, but people will likely have saved them, so they'll still circulate somewhere.

It’s been posted on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/gcls60/becky_lynchs_full_appearance_on_the_billions_tv/{Spoiler}there’s an irony to her monologue being about doing the job to help others when in the last two years she barely ever has without being hugely protected.

Saw it and she killed it. Way better than her post-Raw Women's Champion material. She will do well in Hollywood. I say she needs to stop wrestling early and get more roles. While I don't care what she does in WWE right now I do enjoy her in this.

Worth noting that she’s credited for this role under her shoot name and not her wrestler name.

That was pretty cool. Didn’t expect to see her have a fight with Tara from Sons of Anarchy though lol. Becky seems like a very cool person to me. Comes off very positive and I hope she continues to do well in wrestling and potentially in acting.

Call me crazy but I could see Becky doing well for herself as a female action hero. She's got movie star good looks and she's got the athletic build and attitude that you need to play those parts. It's just a question of her acting being at least passable and with her having a previous background I don't think it's that out of the question. It's not like you need a ton of acting chops for those roles anyways. Just carry around a gun, beat people up, spout off one liners, and be at least serviceable in your line delivery. I think Becky can do that.

My primary takeaway is this is the first time I've ever even heard of this show.

If she is serious about pursuing an acting career I definitely think action/superhero movies will be her niche. I think she's someone who could excel in both hero and villain roles.

Gonna be interesting to see where she's at in 5 years (or even less). Wonder if we'll be having convos about her like I've seen for Cena... "Get away from WWE, go to Hollywood, wrestling is just holding you back now".

I know of Billions but had never seen it before. I watched the clip of Becky and I thought the writing was terrible, but she was very good. She’s a trained actress and you can tell; she’s good in a wrestling setting, but she looked like she belonged here too.
I know a lot of people are talking about her being the next breakout megastar and having a big career in Hollywood, but I don’t really see that; more because of how Hollywood is than as a reflection of her talents. The men who have gone from wrestling and had success in Hollywood were able to slot into a place that already existed. The Rock was able to slot into the roles that Arnie and Stallone had been aged out of. Cena was able to get the roles The Rock said no to. Batista lucked out with a great role in GotG (that he absolutely smashed) that has shone a brighter spotlight on the muscle-man roles he gets.
Big female stars in Hollywood aren’t the same. Casting agents are going to look at Becky (and her WWE career) and see action movie roles. For any other kind of role they’ve got younger, more bankable and just as attractive women in abundance, and taking a risk with Becky wouldn’t be seen as worth it. With the action movie roles, there isn’t an archetype female action star that can go from big movie to big movie. The closest would probably be Michelle Rodriguez who does big action movies and is in a franchise and, yeah, I could see Becky maybe being in that kind of role...but that’s supporting. It would take a shift in Hollywood for Becky to be some huge star and I just don’t see it.
I think she could get more success in TV. I think that’s a much more likely outcome; that she gets cast in an action-y TV show that goes a few seasons, and develops that into a nice TV career with a few movies thrown in. She’s got the skills I think.

The episode got 610,000 viewers, about 230,000 down on last season’s premiere and the second lowest in the show’s history. (Of course it’s also the first episode to air in this climate, but worth noting nonetheless.)
