10 Wrestlers Who Deserve More Respect

6. The IIconics

What People Say: Billie Kay and Peyton Royce bombed big time as Women's Tag-Team Champions and didn't give WWE's creative team enough of a reason to persevere. They collectively come across as a Diva division throwback that can't cut it without comedic shenanigans when the bell rings.

Why They Deserve Respect: Anyone who watched Kay and Royce squeal with delight at WrestleMania 35 will know their emotion was genuine. As life-long WWE fans, both let childlike glee bubble to the surface on the biggest stage possible.

Also, it's not their fault that title reign was about as memorable as WWE's Global Warning 2002 special. WWE could care less about the Women's Tag belts already (which is a shame when The IIconics could promo for days about how much they mean).

When Peyton and Billie come back for another try on Raw, SmackDown or NXT, they should rightly be handed a bit more patience from both fans and management. If not, cut them loose so AEW can book the pair properly.
