4 Ups & 10 Downs From WWE Raw (Sep 7)

Downs…

10. Breaking Up, And Back Together

Last week, the IIconics lost a tag team match where the losers had to disband as a team. That meant the end of Peyton Royce & Billie Kay teaming up.

So what happened Monday? They unceremoniously faced each other in singles competition, which Royce won after a couple of minutes of mundane action. And then they hugged afterwards.

So wait, what was accomplished here? Why were they squaring off suddenly? Are they still friends, or now rivals?

This was such a silly situation. All they had to do to set this up was give them a promo, or have the announcers explain why they were being forced to face each other. It just came out of nowhere, and worse, it was poorly executed.

Sorry, maybe some thought this was a good little coda on their relationship, but for this writer, no buys.
