10. Dumbing It Down For The IIconics

After watching a handful of matches involving the IIconics, we’re left with one conclusion: They’re just not that good in the ring.

Matches involving Billie Kay and (to a lesser extent) Peyton Royce are seemingly dumbed down to very basic moves. Witness Monday, as Becky Lynch and Nikki Cross kept everything very simple throughout the match, with very few complex sequences. The entire opening with Nikki was all armdrags and armbars.

Ask yourself: Have you seen a single good match involving both IIconics? And yet, here were are nearly two months after WrestleMania 35 and they are still the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, with only one televised title defense (two nights after Mania) under their belts.

It’s just embarrassing.
