Just because Becky Lynch is leaving Raw for the time being doesn’t mean you open the door up for any old act to return.

WWE subtracted from its Raw women’s roster by addition Monday night when the IIconics returned after a seven-month absence. The duo returned to action, doing what of course an obnoxious, moderately talented team would do – pin the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions in a non-title match.

Yep, first match back and they’re suddenly in line for a “championship opportunity” because they pinned the champs.

There was talk that Peyton Royce & Billie Kay were off TV to reset their characters, but they were back in all their grating glory Monday. Oh well.
