Cassie Lee Reveals Pitch To Be ‘Motivational Speaker’ In WWE

Cassie Lee, formerly known in WWE as Peyton Royce, has revealed a pitch for her to be a “motivational speaker” that never came to fruition.

A few months ago, Cassie Lee spoke about how a meeting with Vince McMahon didn’t go as planned and she believed this is ultimately what led to her being released by WWE this past April.

In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet, she went into more detail about one pitch that did come about, which was for her to be a motivational speaker, and apparently McMahon was a fan of the idea.

She said:

“I just went in there with what I wanted to present, and we just moved on from it so quickly. In my head I was thinking, ‘How can I steer this conversation back to that?’ I really thought something was there and I hadn’t explained it properly. I sat in that room with him and Bruce Prichard for 45 minutes tossing up ideas.

“At one point we had come up with the idea that I was going to be a motivational person, a motivational speaker. Vince loved how much I had sacrificed to be there. I didn’t want anything else in my life other than to work for him. He loved that and was so thankful for what I had sacrificed, my family, everything in Australia, my whole life. So that’s what we had come up with and obviously nothing ever came of it. But that conversation wasn’t a complete dud. From my perspective it was, This is what I want to present and move forward with’.”

In the same interview, she discussed how Rhea Ripley convinced her not to request her WWE release earlier after she was having a tough time following the passing of Brodie Lee.
