It may have caused friction between WWE and Sasha Banks, but Peyton Royce caused a stir of her own when she and Billie Kay won the Women's Tag-Team Titles at WrestleMania 35. That IIconics win was history in the making, according to Twitter account @iiconicsstuff. Do a little research and you'll find their claims to be correct.

Royce is now the only wrestler ever who was born in the 90s to win a title at 'Mania.

The Australian starlet retweeted the claim, validating it as fact. She was born on 10 November 1992, just over two weeks before the '92 Survivor Series, and has now entered her name into the history books. Her partner, Kay, was born on 23 June 1989, so she's not eligible for the same achievement. Nope, this is 100% Peyton's.

If anyone is reading this and feels themselves aging as they do, they're not alone. It's amazing to think that it took so long for this to happen too; Royce is 26 years old, and someone younger could easily have won a title over the past few years before her.
