In the early 2018s, Cassie Lee was not only a part of the WWE under the name of Peyton Royce and she was touted to be a future star of the WWE women’s tag team division. Alongside Billie Kay, she built up the tag team of The IIconics and they were set to take over the tag team division. Unfortunately, her stint came to a sudden end after a couple of years, making her an ex-WWE superstar.
Cassie Lee has been on a pro wrestling hiatus for a long time due to maternity reasons and now it appears that she will finally make her return to the ring. The popular pro-wrestling Superstar will return to the ring for World Series Wrestling in Australia, in her native land. She will be working their Full Throttle tour from October 6th to 13th to be held under the promotion.

The news came after World Series Wrestling in Australia took to Twitter and announced that Cassie Lee, the former WWE Superstar would be appearing on their upcoming Full Throttle tour that will be going on around cities like Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, and Sydney in October.
The bombshell Diva herself reacted to the news by posting “Let’s grapple! @WSWWrestlingAUS” and a GIF saying “I’m back in the game” while essentially confirming that she is indeed making an in-ring return during the 2023 fall.
Cassie Lee saw success in career through WWE and Impact Wrestling stints
For those who may not remember, Cassie Lee worked for WWE in the NXT brand from 2015 to 2018. They debuted on the main roster on the post-Wrestlemania 34 episode of Smackdown, helping Carmella to successfully cash in her inaugural Women’s Money in the Bank contract on Charlotte Flair. Alongside fellow Aussie WWE Superstar Billie Kay (Jessica McKay), The IIconics reached the top of their career when they won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
Cassie Lee’s most recent match happened in April 2022 on Impact Wrestling’s Countdown to Rebellion show, where she and her IInspiration (fka IIconics) teammate Jessie McKay unsuccessfully challenged The Influence’s Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne for the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship.
A few days later, both the IInspiration members announced that they would be going on a hiatus from the ring for an indefinite timespan. Later in the 2022 summer, Cassie Lee and her husband, AEW’s Shawn Spears revealed that they were expecting their first child. The married couple welcomed their son named Austin Jay Arneill in early 2023.
