"I get sad that everything didn't work out" - Cassie Lee reveals she's struggled with mental health after WWE release

Cassie Lee, known as Peyton Royce in WWE, has revealed she's struggled with her mental health in the past few months.

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Lee revealed that she's been struggling with her mental health ever since the WWE Draft split her and Jessica McKay (Billie Kay) up.

She added that her WWE release added to those struggles, but she is now looking forward to the future.

"Yeah I would say it has been a rough couple of months. Since the draft and since they split Jess and I up I would say. But I am doing well, every day I am feeling happier. I'm just excited for the future and these opportunities I can chase. I have my moments where I get sad that everything didn't work out, but I truly believe everything happens for a reason and there is something bigger out there for me."
