2. The IIconics Reveal Their Future Plans
Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, together known as ‘The IIconics’, both got released from WWE during cuts earlier this year. The two were guests on Busted Open Radio this week where they revealed their plans going forward.
When asked what is next for the duo, Peyton replied saying “We definitely want to stay together. We want to move forward together, Just like we said in the first episode of Off Her Chops we’re just most comfortable together. We can play off each other so easily. We don’t even have to talk about what we’re going to do. We just go out there and it just comes naturally to us because we have so much history together. I think like when it’s organic like that it’s obviously better than when its scripted. So we definitely want to move forward to character. Off Her Chops, we’re so excited because we’ve been wanting to do this podcast for awhile. So it was like the first thing when we found out we were getting the sack, we were like ‘let’s do the podcast!’ And we kind of got moving on that straight away. So (we’re) so excited about that.”
They were both then asked more specifically where they saw themselves wrestling next. Peyton noted “I think it’s tough. For example; AEW. I feel like we could really help their women’s division, though they don’t necessarily have a women’s tag division. But I feel we have that TV experience that we could bring to the division and help build that up. And then with Impact they have a women’s tag team division, as well as an established Knockout’s division, that I feel we can easily slip into. So it’s like, I feel like we have a lot to offer both of them and, I don’t know.”
Billie then gave her thoughts on where the two could go next, once again reiterating how difficult the decision is. She said “It’s tough. It’s tough to figure out where you think would be the best fit because we are wrestlers, but then we are heavily personalities and character. And we love that. So I think it’s just blending the two like we always have, and just figuring out which company we’d be better with, AEW or Impact. That’s the fun thing. There are so many possibilities and that’s what’s exciting to us. There’s the possibility of an Aussie trio (with Tenille Dashwood), there’s possibilities for us being a tag team somewhere else. There’s just possibilities and we have to keep it exciting. We still have awhile before we can do anything so we’re just trying to get the most information that we can and figure out the best move for us. And I like to keep people guessing, keep them on their toes.”
Peyton then finished off the interview by once again exaggerating the fact the two will be moving forward together, by saying “We’re a package deal. We’re going to move forward together”
