6 Wrestling Couples Separated Between Rival Promotions
4. Peyton Royce & Shawn Spears
Promotions: WWE (Royce) and AEW/Indys (Spears)
At least Braun and Kamilla are used to that. Tye Dillinger's recent release from WWE in February means he and lover Peyton Royce have to adjust to a different kind of relationship, one which won't afford as much time together. Tye, who has renamed himself Shawn Spears, has hopes of bagging a full-time deal with AEW.
Over in WWE, Royce is one half of the reigning Women's Tag-Team Champions with IIconics' partner Billie Kay. That keeps her busy, and it's probably challenging for her and Spears to get much time in the same place. Judging by social media posts however, they are willing to give things a right good go despite the circumstances.
Good on them.
Spears, who was in the AEW pre-show Battle Royal before Double Or Nothing, told Sports Illustrated that he'll be doing more for the company soon. All signs point towards he and Royce becoming another WWE/AEW couple on opposite sides of the burgeoning war.
