The humiliating anecdote stemmed from a conversation with Rhodes regarding the sci-fi franchise. Lynch is set to join Hemsworth in the Star Trek universe. The Irishwoman is a guest star in the upcoming Paramount+ series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being accidentally insulted, Lynch\u2019s words did not affect the meteoric rise of the Aussie actor. The 42-year-old almost crossed over into the world of professional wrestling as Hemsworth was set to star in a Hulk Hogan biopic. The project was scrapped in 2024 due to contractual issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Man\u201d herself has had a rise to fame since that Hemsworth encounter. She would ditch her job as a flight attendant and ultimately reach the pinnacle of sports entertainment, becoming the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Becky Lynch and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
