Over the years a number of wrestlers have successfully crossed over into Hollywood. The Rock, John Cena and Batista have all found success in the acting world, and now names like Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch and Cody Rhodes are trying to do the same.
Deadline is reporting that FX has picked up the pilot for a new workplace comedy titled Movers. According to the report, Movers is described as “an improvised workplace comedy revolving around the erratic and codependent lives of a crew of movers.”
Robert Ben Garant and Cathy Shim are attached to the show as co-creators and executive producers. Garant and Shim are also set to star in the series alongside Maz Jobrani, Darius Homayoun, Tanael “TJ” Joachim, Manny Montana and Becky Lynch. It was noted that Garant co-created Comedy Central’s Reno 911! and also wrote Spooky Jack for DreamWorks Animation, as well as The Veil and Jessabelle for Blumhouse.
Becky Lynch is also set to appear in a high profile film this summer as she’s featured in Happy Gilmore 2 which releases later this month. At the moment Lynch is the current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion and is set to defend her title against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in a triple threat match at Evolution 2.
