The Real Reason Why WWE Split Up The IIconics

On this week’s episode of RAW, WWE split up The IIconics. This came after their lost to The Riott Squad during the show. Later on in the episode, Peyton Royce pushed Billie Kay into the ring on ‘RAW Underground’, which led to her getting beaten up. It was made pretty clear that their friendship is over.

We have some news to pass your way about why WWE made the decision to split up The IIconics.

According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, WWE is planning a big singles push for Peyton Royce. This led to WWE deciding to split her up from Billie Kay and go in another direction.

Here is what Johnson said about WWE’s decision:

“I was told by several people that Peyton Royce is earmarked for a singles push, they’ve decided that they wanted to push her, and this is not a case of Billie Kay leaving the company or anything like that.

I was told that it’s just they want to push Peyton Royce and try and go in a different direction with her. As you noticed, Bille Kay kind of got wiped out on Raw Underground, so my guess perhaps they are going to take her off TV, or put her on SmackDown or somewhere else, but I am told that the reason this happened was not some immediate punishment or immediate issue. The decision was made that Peyton Royce was one of the people who was going to be pushed going further, and this was their means to an end.”
