Jessia McKay (FKA Billie Kay) and Cassie Lee (FKA Peyton Royce), formerly known as the IIconics, were released from WWE back in April, and many are awaiting their next move in wrestling.

The hold up on their return to the ring may be a little while longer than the standard 90 days, as the duo appeared on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, revealing that they are still needing their green cards before they can work anywhere.

On the podcast, Lee said:

“The difficult thing for us is that—this is a whole thing but, we still don’t have our green cards. So, we’re not allowed to work until we get those or until we can find some sponsorship anywhere else. It’s like, we’re so excited, we have all this freedom and we have so many ideas, but pump the brakes, because we can’t do any of it. So it’s like this podcast that we’re doing, we’re not making any money off it or anything like that, it’s purely just to get our name out there and kind of try and stay relevant. It’s been tough just knowing we have all these things we wanna do but can’t do it.

Paquette then went on to discuss the importance of green cards to performers, and her own struggles with the same issue.

Lee continued:

“We’re just in this holding pattern right now. There’s literally nothing we can do, it’s just waiting. We’ve been in this process for four years which is basically unheard of, but [the fact is] that no one could control the pandemic, whatever, government, all that kind of stuff.”

The IIconics were released from WWE on April 15, 2021.
