If you ever wanted more proof that WWE literally has only one idea for how to book tag teams, look no further than Peyton Royce & Lacey Evans, who were thrown together to answer the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions’ challenge… and immediately started arguing.

Royce – who was part of a cohesive tag team with Billie Kay for years before they were forced to break up via stipulation – was supposedly going to pursue singles gold after the IIconics split, but she and Lacey Evans came out together Monday night and jockeyed for position in front of the camera.

The discord continued into the match, with Evans refusing to tag into the match, only for Peyton to forcefully tag her. There was no coherence, so how in the hell did they even agree to be a team in the first place?

WWE loves its tag team breakups, and this one seemingly didn’t even make it one match, which has to be a record of sorts.
