I don't watch weekly TV anymore so I've never seen an IIconics match.
LITERALLY the only thing I've seen them do in the ring was their weird (or normal?) promo on Smackdown last week where they posed at the end and absolutely NO ONE in the arena reacted in any way. It was like that West Virginia crowd a few months ago that reacted to nothing almost all night.
So my entire context for them was that, and then they win the titles and there's a huge reaction. Very strange.
But congrats to them.

They're similar to Elias - not great workers but when you're so entertaining, who cares?
Plus they both seem lovely and very hard-working so it was nice to give them that moment.

This reminds me of when Carmella won the woman's title. I really enjoy a lot about that run other than when she had to wrestle on PPV. It feels similar to the IIconic to me in that way.

I was very happy. They arent great in the ring but they are entertaining and I feel the belt needs them. While I think Bayley and Sasha were the right choice to win the titles initially... I just feel that both are so cold as characters that even when they won the titles at first it was a good moment but right now neither are really at the point they can sell a program with another team.
Billie and Peyton can at least bring interest to the title

I marked the f*** out, being honest. Didn't expect them to win, figured Nia and Tamina if a title change.

I love these two. Their gimmick is so uniquely Australian and nutso and they don't give a shit about looking hot while they do it.
Very surprised at the choice to drop the straps but God I was happy with it.

I love them and am so happy for them. They’re really fun and have a lot of potential. I feel bad Sasha and Bayley lost the titles so fast but it was a good, surprising move. I'm surprised too, but this Boss & Hug tag team really hasn't been setting the world on fire. I dunno if they just don't have much chemistry as partners or what. It does feel like The IIconics have been gaining a lot of momentum and crowd support since Elimination Chamber, where they were the best part of that fun match. I’d say both ladies really need a heel turn or something. It’s clear that they’ve been sort of pushing a different attitude throughout the build to this thing. Even in the match you had Bayley looking frustrated with the ref. I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if they turn tonight. |

The IIconics bullying drake maverick was amazing in many ways.
It also allowed then to do something more than just the goofy jerks they do on TV

Pretty schmick. I felt so bad for poor old soft spoken Bobby Lashley talking about losing his title.

The mean girls cornering a nerd and threatening him until he says nice things about them. This could be a great heel tag team run, if the WWE start putting some of that stuff on tv. |

Love the posted backstage video. The Iconics (I refuse the II) have the rare ability to be actually funny jerks - instead of all the just edgy jerks looking for buzz on social media.

It also allowed then to do something more than just the goofy jerks they do on TV Even though they were harassing people, they came off pretty face-ish in that video. Like they weren't trying to be mean, they just lack self-awareness and were so proud to show off their new side plates. Plus Becky was happy for them! |

It was like a reverse Kurt Angle where his fact act came off as annoying, The IIconics there acted as heels but came off endearing |
