Here at Wrestling Overtime, we’re always keeping an eye out for new storylines developing and the reasons why it is happening. Let’s explore the changes being made to Peyton Royce’s status.

Monday Night Raw Changes Last Minute on August 31st

You have to enjoy hearing about last minute changes to Raw by Vince McMahon. It is coming out that Mr. MaMahon waited until Monday afternoon last week. Hours before going on air for the show to make the decision to break up The Ilconics. So on Monday afternoon, everyone backstage from wrestlers to writers was thrown into a whirlwind after he decided that Peyton Royce was going to start her singles career.

After the show last week, the internet was definitely NOT ok with it. Just look on Reddit or Twitter to see the backlash. Personally, I thought it was a little crazy to break them up just for the simple fact the WWE doesn't have a lot of women's tag teams. Now they have even less especially since now Bayley and Sasha Banks are also no more.

Basically when the Ilconics questioned it, they were told to deal with it. When you saw both Peyton Royce and Billie Kay talking about their friendship since high school and then crying after the match. It was all real and not acting by them. They had not had time to get ready for it. They had no prior knowledge of it possibly happening until late Monday afternoon.
