5 WWE Superstars who helped fellow wrestlers in real life

#4 WWE legend John Cena acts as a mentor to Becky Lynch in her quest to make it big in Hollywood

Back in May, WWE Superstar Becky Lynch was announced for a cameo on Billions, a popular TV show. Around the same time, Becky sat down with TMZ and made an interesting revelation. The Man stated that WWE legend John Cena is mentoring her in her quest to have a successful career in Hollywood. Lynch stated that the WWE legend occasionally checks up on her, and is quite generous with his time. Lynch added that The Rock is helping her as well.

[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, 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?!

Becky Lynch is hands down the most popular WWE Superstar of the modern era. Her rise to the main event of WrestleMania 35 is one of the most feel-good stories in the history of pro wrestling. Lynch was an afterthought going into WrestleMania 34 in 2018. But her career soon took a sudden turn at SummerSlam, and things only got better as WrestleMania 35 approached. Lynch has all the ingredients that one needs to make it big as an actor. It won't be a surprise if Lynch goes on to achieve success in Hollywood as well, and becomes one of the select few WWE Superstars who made it big as actors.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
