Peyton Royce was one of ten wrestlers released from the WWE. The Australian star will indeed be waiting for her non-compete clause to end in July.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Peyton Royce has chosen 'Cassie Lee' as her in-ring name after the WWE departure.

Meltzer noted the following:

"Peyton Royce looks to be using the name Cassie Lee going forward."

It should be noted that Peyton Royce's real name is Cassandra McIntosh, and her new in-ring name is an obvious play on it. Royce even confirmed her new ring name reports by filing for a trademark on 'Cassie Lee'.

Given below are the trademark descriptions as filed with the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office):

"IC 025. US 022 039. G & S: Hats; Shirts; Socks; Bandanas; Sweatshirts; Hooded sweatshirts" "IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services, namely, live appearances by a professional wrestling and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a professional wrestler and sports entertainment personality; Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibits and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; Providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; Providing online interviews featuring a professional wrestler and sports entertainer in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment for entertainment purposes".

Royce went by the name 'KC Cassidy' before joining the WWE. She did, however, wrestle one match as 'Cassie' in NXT against Eva Marie in 2015. Where do you see her wrestling in a few months?
