#4-5. Australia’s iconic duo Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were released by WWE in April 2021
Billie Kay and Peyton Royce formed a memorable partnership in WWE. They came together to form The IIconics, taking WWE by storm. Even though they did not get many top rivalries, they were great entertainers.
Hailing from Australia, Kay and Royce were living their dreams in WWE until after WrestleMania 37. The company released the two superstars from their contract just days after 'The Greatest Show of Them All.'
The two had been working separately at the time, and their release was seen as surprising. Kay and Royce have now signed to IMPACT Wrestling where they’re known as The IInspiration. They are the current Knockout Tag Team Champions as well.
#3. Welsh Superstar Tegan Nox was released by WWE in November 2021
Many in the WWE Universe believe Tegan Nox has a world of potential. Her partnership with Dakota Kai in WWE NXT worked well, and the two ended up having a great rivalry.
Injuries kept the 27-year-old out for some time, but she moved to the main roster pretty quickly. The Welsh superstar began making a name for herself, but WWE abruptly released her from her contract in November 2021.
Her release came as a surprise to many fans. Nox could have become the next top female superstar of WWE. However, the company decided against continuing with her on the main roster.
