It’s never a good day when WWE releases multiple talents due to the budget cuts, and a few weeks ago the company released a total of 10 wrestlers including former WWE Tag Team Champions Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.
Recently it was reported that many people didn’t see Billie Kay’s release coming, and that both former members of The IIconics were well liked backstage.
Carmella teamed up with Billie Kay to compete in the tag team turmoil match at WrestleMania 37, and during an appearance on The Bella Twins podcast she explained why she was so rocked by the release.
“I don’t know what the right or wrong things to say is. All I can speak from is my experience and we were super excited for this story and I felt like, okay, I’m done with this whole sexy gimmick that they want me to do, which is fine. It’s fun to be sexy, but I feel like I wanted to show my personality more. I wanted to show a little bit more of a fun side and I was looking forward to doing that with Billie. Like you said, our entrance alone, she was cracking me up. So I was really looking forward to seeing where that was going to go and unfortunately, we can’t do that anymore. Even Peyton, those two were some of my closest friends since they got here. So it was the first time I was really rocked by a release.”
