Former WWE star Peyton Royce almost unrecognizable in new update
Former WWE Superstar Peyton Royce (Cassie Lee) is almost unrecognizable in a new update shared on social media. The veteran has not competed in a match since last year and hasn't performed in Stamford-based company since 2021.
Peyton Royce and Billie Kay were a popular WWE tag team known as The IIconics. The duo captured the Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35. However, the duo were released by the promotion following WrestleMania 37, ending their six-year run with the company.
The tag team performed as The IInspiration in IMPACT Wrestling for a year before departing the company in 2022. Royce took to social media to share a message with a stunning new look, and you can check it out in her Instagram post below.
"You do what you gotta do 🥛✌️," she wrote.
Billie Kay (Jessica McKay) has not competed in a match since teaming up with Peyton Royce in a loss to The Influence (Madison Rayne and Tenille Dashwood) on the April 23 edition of Impact Wrestling.
Peyton Royce comments on WWE splitting up The IIconics
Peyton Royce shared her thoughts on WWE deciding to split up The IIconics during her run with the company.
The promotion decided to split up The IIconics to make Peyton Royce and Billie Kay singles stars during their tenure with the company. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling in 2021, Royce claimed she was still coming to grips with the company's decision to separate her from Kay.
"I mean, it was right there in that moment we found out what the stipulation was that day, maybe the day before, I don't know. I don't have a very good memory. But, it really was, Billie and I, we, more than just who we are as WWE Superstars; we have grown up together. So, for us to like, you know, our whole dreams, our whole journeys have been together. So for that to be just torn apart and like you said, so abruptly, I feel like I'm still digesting it, and I'm still trying my footing without her."

Royce and Kay made a lot of fans during their time at the company. It will be interesting to see if The IIconics ever get the chance to return to the company sometime down the line.
