PEYTON ROYCE has had no use for her wrestling gear after disappearing from WWE television a few weeks ago.
And amid reports that Vince McMahon could be set to repackage the Australian star she got fans excited for her return…by posting a topless photo on Instagram.
Royce – real name Cassie McIntosh – stripped down to just yellow bikini bottoms and a pair of trainers for an outdoor photoshoot.
The 27-year-old had only her arm to protect her modesty as she captioned the racy picture: “Freedom is a stage of mind.”
Within hours the sexy snap had already gained over 165,000 likes as well as a host from comments from Royce’s fellow WWE stars.
Her IIconics tag-team partner Billie Kay wrote: “I was there for this pic… speechless then and speechless now. MY GIRL.”
Royce’s AEW star husband Shawn Spears, former WWE wrestler Tye Dillinger, said: “Yowza!!!”
“Move your arm,” Naomi jokingly commented.
“Wowzers hot mama!” Torrie Wilson added.
Other stars like Lacey Evans, Mandy Rose, Asuka, and Liv Morgan all showered Royce with similar compliments as well.
Royce hasn’t wrestled since teaming with Billie Kay in a losing effort to Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair on a November episode of Raw.
