I don't get this at all. I keep waiting for it to click and it doesn't. They make me cringe even more than LayCool did and it's worse because the women's division is obviously the strongest it's ever been. They come across like girls playing at being pro wrestlers.
That's all.

Yeah, very few times do I skip things, but I automatically skip their segments.
It's not funny or good heel heat, just cringey. They also suck in the ring too, remind me of the time the Diva division was stacked with swimsuit models.

Yeah I’m over the petty mean girl duo. The second week when they were like “we are so hot” they lost any subtlety they could’ve had.

I really like them. I think the stupid imitations they do have actually really helped to set them apart from the standard "mean girls" trope the female heels usually slide into. They come across like really goofy women who think they're much better than they are. That's something for fans to latch onto and dislike.
They haven't set the world on fire with their wrestling, but it's been fine so far. Hopefully after more houseshows with the rest of the roster they'll build up some chemistry and start delivering.
I think the Smackdown Women's roster is in a really good place right now.

They’re actively bad.

They can be cringe at times but if you compare IIconics to Mandy Rose and Sonya Devile than there like Rock and Foley connection, that's how bad Mandy and Sonya are. Billie Kay does not stick out to me but Peyton Royce is the best looking girl on the roster and has good mic skills I see a future singles career for her.

Why is it spelled wrong? Is that a thing? Or is this some odd Sycho Sid thing?

They have no direction or reason to exist on TV beyond being heels. They debuted very well costing Charlotte her title, since then- they just cut annoying mean girl promos, but we have no idea what they are after. Do they both want to be champion? Do they want a women’s tag title? Is one the wrestler & one the mouthpiece?
Men on a Mission were booked & defined better.

They were hit and miss on NXT but have been nothing but pure cringe on SDL. Why is it spelled wrong? Is that a thing? Or is this some odd Sycho Sid thing? Something to do with the copyright. Someone had "Iconic Duo" so they went to "Iconics" but that was too generic so "IIconics" was born or something like that.

MoM were actually over af as a team and there was no question at all about the strength of their gimmicks. The only women's callup to the main roster in the last year to really set things alight has been Ember Moon. Set up a women's tag division and let the factions work for that. Otherwise, they're dead weight and directionless.

I think the problem might be we already have Alexa and carmella as the resident mean girls. Do we need #3 and #4 mean girl? And they are brunettes not blond , which cancels them out from Vinces eyes to be the head of the division.

And they are brunettes not blond , which cancels them out from Vinces eyes to be the head of the division. Not only that, but Alexa has been the centerpiece of both shows' divisions in the past year and a half. It's a character we've seen a million times over and it's just boring. They seemingly don't have many ideas for female heel roles so they just use the same one over and over again, and it's bad. Shayna Baszler down in NXT might not be all the way there yet but I would happily accept a callup for her out of nowhere if only so that we could have a different kind of heel doing stuff.

But my gut feeling is if she gets called up , she'll just either be Rhonda's sidekick or friend type role and not come into her own

I guess we could give them a few months to find their groove.
For example, I thought Elias sucked when he first started. Now he's one of my favorite wrestlers.
Is it 2-conics, Eye-conics, or Eee-conics?

Billie Kay does not stick out to me but Peyton Royce is the best looking girl on the roster and has good mic skills I see a future singles career for her.
I would say Sonya and Mandy have more potential as wrestlers, though.

Maybe Sonya since her kickboxing stuff is unique. Mandy Rose is greener than goose shit in the ring though almost lana level bad.

They could be valuable as their pretty girls with personality if given the chance but like I said a few months back the gimmick of the mean pretty girls who can’t wrestle only works when you only have 1 act doing it but currently wwe has 2 women’s divisions full of women that can’t wrestle so the IIconics don’t stand out so we’ll be stuck watching them doing the crappy impressions schtick and then having bad matches cause that’s as developed as their characters will be on the main roster as Mandy’s character is she’s hot and she saw a Kenny Omega clip on YouTube so she does the V Trigger.Weak repetitive characters aren’t exclusive to the women Elias has been on the main roster over a year he rarely wrestles and does the same segment every show it was cool the first couple weeks but it’s long past the point of me caring.

I could see some people being annoyed by them but I love their mean girls act, and the way they do impressions of everyone.
