4) The IIconics – Billie Kay and Peyton Royce
The IIconics are absolutely fantastic. The Aussie pairing of Billie Kay and Peyton Royce made their names in NXT, where they were known as the Iconic Duo, by virtue of their brilliant heel work, great sense of humor, and solid in-ring abilities.
Although neither won gold during their tenure with the yellow brand, they both stood out as underutilized talent. Talent which, during the Superstar Shake-up a couple of weeks ago, resulted in their main roster call-up to SmackDown Live.
Since entering the ‘Land of Opportunity’, the IIconics have been portrayed as a genuine big deal.
During their first appearance, they attacked then-WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, which resulted in Carmella cashing in her Money in the Bank contract, to win the title from the ‘Queen’.
Two weeks later, and the Aussies were competing in their first main roster match as a tag team, against Becky Lynch and Asuka.
Although having Asuka lose again probably wasn’t the best decision, the win does make the IIconics seem like a really big deal, especially to those not familiar with their NXT past.
Although they did lose in last night’s main event 6-woman tag team match, Kay and Royce remain undefeated as a pair on the main roster.
Much like Alexa Bliss and Mickie James, the IIconics would be perfect heel champions, using sneaky tactics to escape their challengers.
