Today we’ll be taking a look at how one AEW Star was suggested to be on Bayley’s
Ding Dong, Hello show, Update on The Iconics, and how WWE ruined a superstar’s wedding
Let’s start things with with this AEW Star on Bayley’s Dong Dong, Hello
Like we discussed earlier in the week, Bayley’s Ding Dong, Hello show was a massive success
for WWE
WWE took a risk on the segment to see how it’ll turn out, but it paid off, it was
a big hit with the fans
It looks like WWE is already confirming that there will be new segments of the show and
they’re looking for the next guest
The official WWE twitter account tweeted: “Blank should be the next guest on Ding
Dong, Hello with Bayley”
Everyone was throwing in their suggestions on who the next guest should be
The WWE tweet even got a response from AEW’s Britt Baker, Britt suggested that AEW’s
Cody Rhodes should be a guest on the show
Bayley actually responded to that suggestion with a picture of herself smiling
Obviously, Cody Rhodes may not be a guest on the show any time soon, but it was still
nice to see Bayley acknowledge the suggestion
Bayley also had some big name suggestions for her next guest on the show as well
Bayley tagged Kalisto, Ellen DeGeneres, Lamorne Morris, and she even suggested her dog to
be on the next show as well
But it does look like the show was a massive success and WWE basically confirmed that the
show will be returning in the future with more guests

Last summer saw the emotional and sudden end to the tag team of “The Iconics”
No one was ready for this breakup at all including Peyton and Billie themselves because it just
happened out of no where with no heads up given to them
It appeared like WWE was going to break them up in early 2020 because they did have a few
rough losses and there was even a moment of Billie Kay slapping Peyton Royce
We were anticipating the breakup at that point, but Peyton Royce and Billie Kay made up and
it seemed like all was forgiven, so they moved on from that situation
Fast forward several months later and WWE drops a big stipulation for a match on Raw
that claimed the losing tag team between The Iconics and The Riott Squad was going to be
forced to breakup
The feeling among the community at the time was that the Riott Squad would be the one
splitting up and that’s the direction that they were going to take Liv and Ruby in, but
that wasn’t the case at all
The Iconics lost, they were forced to split up, and WWE had no idea or plans for what
to do with them after that
They ended up facing each other one on one and then Billie Kay was managing Peyton Royce
the next week, saying that the rule never said they couldn’t manage each other
So everyone was confused, was WWE trying back stepping on their decision to split them up?
The WWE draft came along and officially split them up for good, sending Peyton Royce to
Raw and Billie to Smackdown
Billie Kay has been on fire on Smackdown lately from a character point of view.
Yeah, she lost her last few tag team matches on Smackdown, but the character is quickly
becoming so rich and entertaining that it overshadows her losing streak
At first Billie Kay was going around Smackdown with her headshot picture that had all her
accomplishments and information about herself
She was just trying to find a role and place to fit in.
She tried joining Adam Pearce, tried commentary out, and that’s when she found herself in
some conflict with the Riott Squad
Billie Kay tried bringing out some new tag team partners to help her, but she lost all
those matches
Billie Kay officially gave up and she did exactly what the saying says of “if you
can’t beat them, join them”
Billie Kay forcefully included herself into the Riott Squad and now refers to herself
as the newest “unofficial official member of the Riott Squad”
Billie Kay was even ringside for Liv Morgan‘s Match on Smackdown and accidentally cost liv
morgan the match to make matters even worse
But the Billie Kay character is so entertaining right now, especially with this whole idea
of trying to fit with the Riott Squad and dressing all “Punk”like because she thinks
that’s what they like
It’s a very entertaining little side story on Smackdown and we’ll have to see where
it goes
Will the Riott Squad eventually let Billie Kay in, will she earn her way into the group
or will she be kicked out in the coming weeks?
We’ll have to see
The other half of the Iconics, Peyton Royce, is the one that seems to have no real direction
at this current moment in WWE
Everyone assumed the breakup of the Iconics was to help establish Peyton Royce as a singles
star but they threw her right back into a tag team with Lacey Evans, so that was a bit
confusing
Peyton Royce does have some big pins on Raw and even pinned Bayley during the survivor
series match, so that was also a big moment for Peyton, but nothing much has come out
of those big wins
Her tag team partner, Lacey Evans, is involved in a big storyline on Raw, but Peyton doesn’t
seem to have much going on for herself when it comes to storylines
Bayley recently spoke up and gave her thoughts about Peyton Royce.
Bayley compared Peyton Royce to Sasha Banks and said that she’s like Sasha’s twin
in the ring, the fans just haven’t taken notice of it yet
So that’s some high words of praise there from Bayley, comparing Peyton Royce to Sasha
Banks
Bayley is saying that Peyton Royce is just as talented in the ring as Sasha, she doesn’t
hasn’t had a real opportunity for everyone to take notice of it and that’s true
Peyton Royce is extremely talented and has massive breakout star potential, she’s just
not given much opportunities by WWE to showcase that talent right now, so that’s why we’re
in a sort of limbo state with her status on Raw
Billie Kay is extremely successful on Smackdown and is a part of a very entertaining storyline
over there.
Hopefully Peyton Royce can get involved in a storyline on Raw as well, maybe even compete
for the raw women’s title, who hasn’t had a challenger step up in over 2 months
But what are your thoughts on this update for the Iconics?
Do you like their direction right now?

You may remember the big storyline from two years ago for the WWE 24/7 title
The 24/7 title storyline nowadays mostly revolves around R-Truth
But The 24/7 title storyline back then bounced back and forth between R-Truth and Drake Maverick
Drake Maverick’s wife, Renee Michelle, even played a role in the storyline as well
WWE even filmed a segment for the 24/7 Title at their wedding
wwe superstars were already present for the wedding, so WWE thought it would be a great
idea to do a quick segment of R-Truth pinning Maverick at his wedding
Accounting to Renee Michelle herself, some of her family members, especially her 85 year
old grandmother, didn’t enjoy the segment and felt like it ruined the winning
Renee had this to say when speaking with Hannibal TV:
“I did not know about the filming until two days prior to the wedding.
I did not know about the details before an hour and a half to two hours of me walking
down the aisle but the amount of detail I didn’t know…
I thought it was going to be one of those filming… like Sarah Logan and her man.
“No, that did not happen.
That completely went out the window.
My grandma, she was so mad.
If looks can kill, and she’s an 85-year old Christian school teacher, she was not
happy at all.
Yeah, my wedding was ruined.”
The segment for the WWE viewers was actually pretty great, it was a unique scenery and
something new for the 24/7 title, so the moment was loved by the fans
But as far as Renee’s grandmother, she was extremely furious with WWE filming that moment
for Raw
As far as Drake Maverick goes, he was released during pandemic budgets cuts, but eventually
signed back to NXT
We’ll see if he’s able to come back to Raw to finish what he started with R-Truth
some time in the future
