Shawn Spears On Aussie Cassie Lee Returning To The Ring
NXT star Shawn Spears and husband to Cassie Lee (WWE’s Peyton Royce) was a recent guest on ‘Insight’ with Chris Van Vliet. The former World Series Wrestling heavyweight champion was asked about his time in AEW and his return to WWE. Most notably for Aussie fans Spears talked about Cassie Lee making a potential return to the ring.
“She watches it a lot. She watches it more than I do. That doesn’t mean I don’t watch wrestling, it just means I’m busy a lot. I’m around. I can see a lot of stuff. Yeah, she keeps up on it. She still loves watching a lot of her friends. She’s still getting the itch, so she’s already weight training. She’s doing all that kind of stuff. She’s getting back into the mix and things like that. When she feels 100% good to go, there’s a ring close by, so she plans on getting back into it. She doesn’t know what capacity, meaning no one said anything. No one said, ‘Hey, when you ready, come on back.’ Like, not Impact, not anything, but with the working relationship, who’s to say that that’s not a possibility? She still misses it. I think she still has a little bit of an itch. We’ll see.”
Lee made a brief return to pro wrestling for World Series Wrestling in Melbourne on October 7, 2023 winning the Women’s championship. Spears (real name Ronnie Arneill) married Lee in 2019, the couple have two children together.
