BECKY LYNCH revealed that WWE legends The Rock and John Cena have been mentoring her burgeoning Hollywood career.
The former RAW Women's Champion is set to become the latest wrestler to try their hand at acting after it was announced that she has been given a role on American drama Billions.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson became one of the most recognisable faces on the planet during the WWE Attitude Era days in the 1990s.
He soon morphed into the trailblazer for making the switch to Hollywood to star in blockbuster franchises such as the Fast and Furious films.
John Cena has since followed suit after asserting himself as WWE's top talent and Lynch claimed the duo are offering her advice and guidance on navigating the camera outside the ring.
She told TMZ Sports in May: "[The Rock has] actually he's been very helpful in guiding me.
[The Rock has] actually he's been very helpful in guiding me. Cena's also been so great to me and so generous with his time and his advice
"He's just being very giving and I think they all are because they've all been there and they're all ready to look after the next generation.
"Cena's also been so great to me and so generous with his time and his advice, checks up on me on what I'm doing now. I think everybody wants to see the next generation move to where they've been, ya know?!"
Rock and Cena are two of WWE's greatest acting successes, with Dave Bautista also gaining mainstream appeal for his role as Drax in the Marvel Universe.
But other wrestlers have struggled to learn the ropes of the film industry, with Triple H starring in the critically-panned Blade III and The Chaperone.
Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle also struggled to recover from 2009's Endgame and the 2011 horror River of Darkness alongside Kevin Nash.
But Lynch – who is sidelined currently as she expects her first baby in December – reassured fans that regardless of how successful her acting stint goes, she is not planning to leave WWE any time soon.
The Irish Lasskicker added: "Look, I just love performing. I love being able to get it out there, but I also love a crowd. So, as long as I can wrestle, then I'm going to be doing that."
