RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch isn't set to defend her Championship at Money in the Bank next weekend. But The Man was still in attendance for this week's episode of The Bump, where she was able to make a number of revealing statements.

The Irish Lasskicker has been taking some much-needed time off following her victory over Shayna Baszler back at WrestleMania and will now have one eye on Money in the Bank ladder match winner.

Even though Lynch isn't currently part of the card, Baszler, Nia Jax, and Asuka all have the opportunity to win the Money in the Bank contract and then cash in on the current Women's Champion.

Of course, Lynch will now be looking over her shoulder, but that didn't stop her from making her usual media appearances, and here are some of the updates that she delivered yesterday.


#5. Becky Lynch will be guest appearing on Billions

WWE Superstars making TV show appearances isn't something new since the likes of Kane and Batista once appeared on Smallville, while Edge was seen in The Flash.

Lynch appeared alongside Brian Koppelman on yesterday's episode of The Bump to announce that she will be making an appearance on Showtime's season five premiere of Billions this Sunday, May 3rd.

The show is all about power politics and is a drama that centers around New York High Finance, which isn't the usual world that Becky Lynch would be found in. It seems that The Man will look to make her mark in the acting world so that she has some options when she finally decides to hang up her boots, much like many other wrestlers have before her.

#4. Brian Koppelman and Becky Lynch's first meeting

Brian Koppelman is the executive producer of Billions and he appeared alongside Becky Lynch on this week's episode of The Bump. Together they announced that The Man would appear on the season five premiere of the show.

While making the announcement, the question was asked about how the stars first met and it's an interesting story. Koppelman revealed that he's a huge Becky Lynch fan and he wore a Lynch T-shirt when she was arrested on RAW to a Billions press event.

Koppelman revealed that he and his wife both bought the mugshot shirts. He were asked at the event if they were fans to which he said "The Man rules" and that's when Twitter noticed. Lynch then tweeted about the shirt and the two stars went on to become online friends, which included The Man appearing on his podcast. The two then started hanging out before the offer to appear on Billions was put on the table when the producers wrote her a part.

#3. Billions did their research on Becky Lynch before casting her

Becky Lynch may only be making a guest appearance on Billions this weekend, but the show producers actually wrote the part just for Lynch after they were asked by fans online to add her onto the show.

Brian Koppelman revealed they had to do their research on Becky Lynch before they were able to write her part, which included watching the WWE documentary about her on the Network.

Koppelman also watched a lot of Lynch's previous interviews and then looked to create a character that would speak in the same way that Becky Lynch would.

The executive producer went on to reveal that the fact that he had spent some time with Lynch in the past meant that he was able to use what he knew about her. He stated that when she got there and worked with the stars, they all wanted her to come back.

#2. Becky Lynch has a number of dream acting roles

This isn't the first acting role that Becky Lynch has been handed in her career. For those unaware, the Irish star studied acting at University and has appeared in several shows while also working as a stunt person.

The professionalism that Lynch brought to her newest role lead to Brian Koppelman believing that Lynch could do this job for a living in the future. While Lynch is wholly focused on her career in the squared circle right now, she did mention that there were a number of roles that she would love to be part of in the acting world.

The Pride of Parnell Street by Sabastian Barry was one of the plays that Lynch noted she would love to play a role in. She also brought up the story of an Irish boxer who came over from Ireland and became a heavyweight Champion in America called Deirdre Gogarty and she would like to play her in a biopic of her life.

#1. Becky Lynch is still confused by the date format in America

Becky Lynch was born and raised in Ireland, which means that she got used to the format in which the United Kingdom usually writes their date. The United States of America writes it in a different format where they put the month first and then the day, while the UK writes the day before the month.

Even though Lynch has been in the United States for a number of years, she revealed that the date that she was part of Billions' season five premiere this week and announce it as May 5th.

The actual date is May 3rd, which she later corrected herself, but did point out that she is still having some trouble because of the format that the United States use. It makes sense that Lynch would be confused by the switch since many Americans have noted that they have been confused when they have made their way over to the United Kingdom after years of using their format.
