10 Worst Sacrifices In WWE

Just to make it explicitly clear that the failings of the Women's Tag Team Championships shouldn't fall at the feet of the divisive second holders, here's an entry putting over just how f*cking great The IIconics were.

Neither of them were masters of everything, but who is? Peyton Royce - when permitted - has shown flashes of being one of the division's best in-ring stars, while Billie Kay has proven before, during and after the duo's dominance how effective she can be as comedic foil. They're also real life best friends, and said chemistry explodes off the screen when they're together.

So WWE - at virtually no notice and with wholly unrealistic stakes - split them up.

Buried deep in the dreaded empty Performance Center era of Monday Night Raw, the pair lost a match to The Riott Squad in which the winners would get a title shot. As if, within the confines of the company, you have to work to get one of those f*cking things.

Neither have progressed since, meaning that a functioning gimmick was sacrificed for nothing. Less than that, considering their divergent career paths.

This is the problem with making it up as you go along - it's not just snarky ultra-fans like your writer that can pick holes in a pointless move, but casual fans too. And they'll stop watching in their millions over the last decade, as they have.
