For several years The IIconics worked together to make a name for themselves, and Peyton Royce & Billie Kay managed to get a lot of people talking. When the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions split up most people figured it would lead to a successful singles run for Peyton Royce, but that hasn’t really been the case.
Peyton Royce has struggled to get TV time, and Corey Graves recently addressed her status on the After The Bell podcast. Graves noted that Royce is currently floundering, and he also noted that one of the issues may be that he doesn’t know how Peyton Royce is anymore when it comes to her character.
“When they [IIconics] split, I don’t think I’m speaking out of line by saying everyone and their mother saw Peyton as the breakout star,” Graves said. “Everybody kind of said, okay, Billie is the sidekick. As far as gauging television time as success, Billie took the ball and ran with it. Billie has been on SmackDown practically every Friday, she’s incredibly entertaining, and makes me laugh. Billie has been doing her thing where Peyton has been floundering.
“That’s not for a lack of talent, ability and definitely not a lack of passion. To me, as a fan to try to look at this as a fan objectively, I don’t know who Peyton Royce is anymore. I know who Billie Kay is, Peyton is a good looking girl who is good at wrestling to me. I just don’t know beyond what I just described who she is, why do I want to see her face Asuka?”
