April 29 (UPI) -- Becky Lynch will appear in the Billions Season 5 premiere. Showtime announced in a tweet Wednesday that the 33-year-old WWE wrestling star, known as "The Man," will guest star in the episode, which airs Sunday.
"The Man is coming to #Billions," the post reads. "Catch @BeckyLynchWWE in the season premiere this Sunday. Only on Showtime."
Billions co-creator Brian Koppelman had invited Lynch to appear on the series while wearing a Lynch shirt at a TV panel in 2019. Lynch accepted the invitation via Twitter.
"Great looking shirt, Brian. Let's do this! #Billions #TheManWillComeAround," she wrote.
Season 5 will also feature Julianna Margulies, Corey Stoll and Akili McDowell. Margulies will play Catherine Brant, an Ivy League sociology professor and bestselling author, with Stoll as Michael Prince, a business titan from a small town in Indiana, and McDowell as Savion Williams, a teenager growing up in Bobby Axelrod's (Damian Lewis) hometown.
Billions is co-created by Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin. Lewis and Paul Giamatti star as Axelrod and Chuck Rhoades, respectively, who will have a renewed rivalry in Season 5.
Showtime released a trailer for the season in March that shows Alexrod calling himself a monster.
Lynch is a four-time women's champion in WWE. She started using the nickname "The Man" in 2018.
