Shawn Spears, formerly known as Tye Dillinger, met Cassie Lee, also known as Peyton Royce, while they were both working for WWE. Jessica McKay, also known as Billie Kay, was also working for the Stamford-based company, teaming up with Lee as The IIconics.
Jessica McKay previously spoke with Chris Van Vliet and revealed that The IIconics were travel partners with Spears. She spoke very highly of the man who was married to her fellow Australian.
"He's an absolutely sweetheart, and absolutely gem in my mind. We used to all travel together, it used to be us three. Same car and everything. He's like my family too. They are just absolutely perfect for each other. I love them both with all my heart. He's just an absolute sweetheart, I can't talk highly enough about him," Billie Kay said.
WWE released The IIconics in April 2021. The two stars then went to Impact/TNA Wrestling as The IInspiration for less than one year and held the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, but requested their releases in April 2022, and have not wrestled together since.
Spears' second WWE run ended in February 2019, and he has been with AEW since May of that year. The veteran talent has only worked a handful of AEW matches in 2023, but he continues to work in the indies. He won the GLCW Heavyweight Championship from Backwoods Brown on December 2nd, just a few months after dropping the WSW World Championship to Matt Cardona, formerly known as Zack Ryder.
