What They Did Next: WWE 2021 Releases - Part 1
3. Peyton Royce
The Iiconics were never portrayed as the most talented superstars in the ring. They could put on a decent mid-card level match, but the talents they were allowed to showcase the most lay firmly in the entertainment side of sports entertainment, and they knew it.
Billie's attempt to chase a new team after they were split for no reason at the start of 2020 showed how proficient the two were alone in comedy roles, so it was almost shocking to hear seemingly real emotion when Peyton Royce exploded on RAW Talk in March before walking off the set.
"When you know deep in your soul you are destined to be where you are, striving for what you feel you deserve. My potential haunts me. When you strive for something you feel you really deserve. This is where I am meant to be. My patience has been running thin for quite some time, so stop wasting my time and give me Asuka!”
WWE never bothered to capitalise on the fire Royce showed here and she was released from her contract in April 2021, returning to her real name Cassie Lee.
