On a side note, the recap has the name spelled as IIconics. That’s going to wreak havoc on AutoCorrects everywhere. yeah... it seems like they are currently calling them the IIconics... why? Riott Squad at least makes a little sense... but having 2 I's in Iconic is just stupid... My guess is that the old Iconic logo had silhouettes of Peyton and Billie on the two Is, but someone wanted the logo to start with the two silhouettes. Also, II is Roman numeral for two, so there’s a pun on the name.

The Iconics sounds like a shitty ska band that never took off. I Just want so badly for WWE to have something that they just leave be and don't micromanage the finest of details of.

Problem is that they want to trademark these names for merchandising purposes, which is perfectly reasonable. In that regard, "Iconic Duo" was already taken, apparently. Other than that, it's still the exact same gimmick it was in NXT. We're not exactly comparing NXT Ascension to main roster Ascension here.

Well, they have intensity and intelligence. 2 out of 3 ain't bad, right Kurt?

Also, Peyton is the babe-ing-est babe that ever babed.

As someone that doesn't follow NXT, I will greatly enjoy watching these two presented on television.

I think that's why I really really like it tbh. It sounds like some vocal group that you'd find out had a #1 hit in the 60s but never got a Wiki page or literally any confirmation of life in about 50 years.

That one looks like a Bella Twin. They both do. I was only 1/2 paying attention and thought they were the bellas the entire time. (Watched on tablet w mute as I gamed)

If they were gonna put two I's in their name then why couldn't they just be called The IIconic Duo then? I assumed the name was changed cuz of trademark issues.

"The Iconics" sounds like a 60s Motown vocal group that never caught on. I was thinking either that, or like they'd go touring with Blondie or the Pretenders.

I looked at my instagram feed not long after they debuted and was looking at the comments on WWE's post on the Iconics, and most of the comments were "OMG! They're not the Bellas! They'll never be the Bellas! Split them up!". My first thought was - how are they anything like the Bella Twins?? The only similarity is that all four have dark hair.

I love the ambiguously gay duo. I kid I kid, although for the longest time I thought that was their gimmick in nxt, Corey once made a stupid comment out of nowhere that they were moving in together but never explained it.
They're already better than Riott Squad, although that ain't hard to do, Sarah Logan set the bar really really low.

The rising inflection of the Australian accent that makes statements sound like a question should get them some good heat if they ham it up and go over the top with it.

Its good to see them on the main roster but its concerning too, with very few female faces on smackdown, theyll end up as more bodies to feed Charlotte on her way to mania 35. With the riot squad and absolution as well, there is enough heel women teams as it is, so i hope they put Becky with Naomi as a face team as neither will be touching either womens titles for a while. Gives the duo a feud to begin with,.

Johnny Gargano: "I beat Ciampa at Takeover, and now Billie and Peyton won't be around to annoy me? This is a great week so far." Hideo: "I thought I got away from them."

I saw someone point out that the colours used in their logo are the bisexual colours, so I suppose Billie and Peyton could be the WWE's LGBTQ characters in the future.
