5 Current wrestling couples who are split between WWE and AEW 

#2. WWE's Peyton Royce and AEW's Shawn Spears

Peyton Royce was set for the biggest push of her career earlier this year when The IIconics were split for the first time in their WWE career. The former Women's Tag Team Champion has since been unable to find her feet on Monday Night RAW as a solo wrestler, even though WWE has experimented with putting her in a new team with Lacey Evans.

Royce's former tag team partner Billie Kay hasn't found much more success following her move over to SmackDown, which begs the question of why the split was needed.

Before Royce was promoted to the main roster, she met her future husband Tye Dillinger, who was performing as 'The Perfect 10' down in NXT. The couple was engaged whilst working together for WWE, before later announcing that they had married in the summer of 2019.

Dillinger made it to WWE's main roster before requesting his release from the company last year and making his move over to AEW.

Now known as Shawn Spears, the former WWE star has become one of the best heels in AEW since aligning himself with Tully Blanchard.
