4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Nov 6)

Downs...

5. Seeking Employment?

Billie Kay The Street Profits
WWE

WWE shouldn't have split The IIconics.

They do this every so often, and it never makes sense; tag-teams break off to "freshen individuals up", then both parties inevitably suffer because company creative doesn't have a clue what to do with them. If WWE didn't have a plan for Billie Kay or Peyton Royce, then they shouldn't have bothered ending their alliance.

What good has come of it? Peyton has been on/off teaming with Lacey Evans on Raw, and now Billie is handing her headshot and resume to The Street Profits for...some reason. This segment was yet more WWE comedy that didn't land, and it's hard to see Kay getting over if this is all they've got for her.

Nobody came out of this skit looking great. Not The Profits, not Kay and not even Big E. It was wasted airtime, and actually succeeded in making everyone less interesting. That's bad.
