So we have a few stories to get into today concerning Peyton Royce and her latest comments
about Shawn Spears and leaving WWE as well as Triple H’s response to the big leak
Let’s start off with Peyton Royce and Shawn Spears.
Peyton and Shawn first got together while at the WWE performance center towards the
start of their WWE careers
They were both brand new to the WWE at the time and quickly started dating
Shawn, who was known as Tye Dillinger at the time, made his debut in 2017 and his girlfriend,
Peyton Royce, made her main roster debut a year later.
So they got called up to the main roster just around the same time and got to travel with
each other for a while until something changed
It was clear that Peyton Royce had a bright future ahead of her on the main roster, but
things weren’t so good for Shawn spears and his “Tye Dillinger” character at the
time
It was clear that WWE never had any real plans for Shawn and he was getting tired of sitting
on the sidelines when he knew for a fact that WWE would never properly use him
That’s when all the AEW hype came up and they were recruiting talent for their roster.
That’s when Shawn started to think of the huge decision to jump over to AEW and leave
Peyton over at WWE
The couple has mentioned numerous times that this was something they talked about in great
detail and approved with each other, so Shawn Spears was released from WWE and was quickly
picked by AEW
In his first few months with AEW, Shawn Spears has already been used more than he ever was
with the WWE, so it’s safe to say that he made the right decision
Everyone had some much questions about Shawn’s move because he just left his wife over at
WWE and went to AEW, but like we mentioned before, the couple did approve everything
amongst themselves
They just want each other to be happy with their careers so that’s why they made that
call. Peyton is happy in WWE and Shawn can now be happy in AEW. It’s a win-win for
the both of them
Peyton Royce recently sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet and revealed some new
things that we all didn’t know before
Peyton talked about how Shawn Spears had to leave in the middle of their honeymoon to
wrestle, she had this to say about that entire situation:
“We were on our honeymoon and smack dab in the middle of it was the show, so we flew
from Hawaii to Chicago, and back to Hawaii for the second leg of our honeymoon. I was
so happy for him and proud of him. Even up until this point, the world has not gotten
a glimpse of how talented he is. He is on another level and I can't wait until he finally
gets to show the world.”
So quite the interesting reveal there by Peyton. They are so supportive of each other’s careers
that they’re willing to do things such as leave in the middle of their honeymoon for
his match
All this took place last year, it was Shawn’s first huge match for AEW and he didn’t wanna
miss it and use his honeymoon as an excuse, so they both made the trip over there for
the show and then flew right back to Hawaii to continue the second half of the honeymoon
Of course the big question here, especially when the Iconics were off of television for
a longtime, was if Peyton Royce would leave the WWE to join her husband at AEW
Peyton Royce addressed all that and had this to say about the topic:
"No, it was never a thought for me. I wanted him to be happy and needed him to be happy.
Wrestling is such a small world, everyone knows everyone, everyone is friends. So many
of my friends are over [at AEW] and they have friends with us. It's not as crazy as people...who
have these strange ideas”
Peyton brings up a great point that we talked about a handful of times before.
Peyton and Shawn aren’t the only crossover WWE and AEW couple around. You have Britt
Baker and Adam Cole, Renee Young and Jon Moxley, and so much more of these couples that are
in different companies
Just because one person goes to one company doesn’t mean that their significant other
has to jump over to that company as well. There’s a lot of couples out there that
definitely make it work
Same thing goes for the friends as well. There a lot of WWE superstars that are friends with
some of the AEW talent as well. Just because they’re on competing shows doesn’t mean
that they dislike each other, sometimes that’s just how people understand it, but Peyton
made it clear that they’re both still very happy with the decision they made for the
both of them

Next up is a huge story concerning Triple H and the massive WWE leak from last week
So you might have ran into it last week, I know I came across it several times, but the
main event result of NXT’s Great American Bash match between Keith Lee and Adam Cole
was leaked and spoiled about a week in advance
The leaked picture showed the confetti celebration with Keith Lee holding both championship titles
and it really hurt the buildup and anticipation to the match because just like that, we all
knew the winner right away thanks to the leak
There’s no real fans in attendance so you might be asking yourself, “well how in the
world did it leak out?” Turns out that it was one of WWE’s own employees that leaked
the image a week in advance
WWE and some fans tried to cover up the leak by spreading the rumors that WWE filmed “multiple
endings” to the match to try to discredit the leak, but that multiple endings rumor
obviously wasn’t true
The leak didn’t hurt the actual match, it was still a great match and both men did a
phenomenal job, it’s just the best feeling when you go into a match already knowing who’s
gonna win for sure, it just sort of takes a lot of fun away from watching the match
Well now that the match officially aired and everyone has seen the result, Triple-H is
finally addressing the leak and giving his thoughts on all the controversy surrounding
the main event of the Great American Bash
Triple H had this to say when talking to Sports Illustrated:
“I thought we had an epic show last week, and this week’s show is something special.
I know there is a little bit of controversy around it, and this won’t be the first time
I’ve taken it upon myself to manipulate that process, but what I can tell you is that
this main event delivers. Adam Cole and Keith Lee, I think it’s a dream match between
our two top performers from 2019, and they deliver here”
"People are going to be very entertained. When you look back in a year, a match like
this is going to make the demand even greater for the Great American Bash next year."
So it was a phenomenal match, there’s no denying that, the main issue a lot of fans
have is the leak
Obviously, WWE did leak it themselves, someone else did and WWE can’t control what this
person did to leak it, but I think WWE could’ve done a better job to patch it up and cover
it up a bit more
We heard the rumors that multiple endings were filmed, maybe this was just a rumor that
came from WWE to try to discredit the leak, but just the rumors of multiple endings being
filmed wasn’t enough. We needed more evidence that multiple endings were filmed to throw
us off even more
For example, the second the Keith Lee Celebration picture leaked online, I think it would’ve
been best for WWE to leak the Adam Cole celebration picture as well
If you really recorded both endings and one leaked online, just leak the other ending
yourself, so that you can protect the outcome of the match for the fans.
Because now fans would be seeing pictures from both outcomes of the match and they wouldn’t
be able to tell which one happened and which one didn’t. I just think a situation like
that would’ve protected the outcome to the main event a bit more than what they did
So WWE really dropped the ball there, they could’ve done something more to cover up
the leak, but they decided not to
