As the IIconics, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay were much more than a tag team. They were best friends, ride-or-die partners who formed a life-long sisterhood.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda, Royce spoke the break up of the much-loved duo. During the interview, she stated that the duo only found out about the split just 24 hours before it happened. The news how she is still digesting it;
“I mean, it was right there in that moment we found out what the stipulation was that day, maybe the day before, I don’t know. I don’t have a very good memory. But, it really was, Billie and I, we, more than just who we are as WWE Superstars; we have grown up together. So, for us to like, you know, our whole dreams, our whole journies have been together. So for that to be just torn apart and like you said, so abruptly, I feel like I’m still digesting it, and I’m still trying my footing without her.”
After the split, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay were sent to different brands. Royce to RAW and Kay to SmackDown where they have both found varying degrees of success. Royce teamed with Lacey Evans until the latter took a shine to Ric Flair. However, Royce recently scored a win over Charlotte. Kay has been a joy to watch as she tries to fit in with the Riott Squad.
The fact that Royce and Kay are yet to experience singles success and ventured into random tag team ventures makes the splitting of the IIconics rather confusing. But with the Royal Rumble right around the corner, hopefully, they get the chance to shine during WWE’s first major event of the year.
