Peyton Royce and Tye Dillinger met whilst the duo was working together in WWE NXT when Royce was part of the Iconic Duo and Dillinger was known as The Perfect 10.

The Australian star was later promoted alongside Billie Kay and the duo became known as The IIconics, while Dillinger's promotion didn't lead to a lot for the star on WWE's main roster - short of a pretty exciting debut at the Royal Rumble in the #10 spot - and led to a lot of frustration for the former NXT star throughout his time on SmackDown.

Royce and Dillinger were able to make their relationship work throughout their time on separate brands, but were handed another long-distance situation when Dillinger was released from WWE back in 2019 and then signed with All Elite Wrestling.

Despite the change, Royce and Dillinger went on to marry in the summer of that year, and Dillinger has since become known as Shawn Spears on AEW television. Royce is now a former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion along with Billie Kay and continues to be featured as part of the Women's Division on RAW.
