If you haven't seen it, then check out Billie Kay's interview with the fine folks over at BT Sport. The ex-IIconic comes across as totally likeable, has bags of personality and exhibits clear passion for pro wrestling. So, why is she stuck acting like Bill Murray in some modern retelling of Groundhog Day?

WWE keep booking the same for her thing every week.

Kay deserves better than this. She obviously wants to succeed, and is trying her best to bounce back from that split from Peyton Royce (one neither woman saw coming behind the scenes). Her ongoing angle with The Riott Squad is gonna' have to move along a bit though - it's doing nothing for Billie or her on/off mates.

Bayley is similarly lost in the shuffle right now too. She won't benefit from laughing at Kay's lack of friends every week. The former champ should be right back in the SmackDown Women's Title frame post-WrestleMania, but she's struggling for relevancy at the moment.
