Peyton Royce and Billie Kay split up on Monday Night RAW this week after they lost their match against Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott. The IIconics have been together ever since they made their way to WWE but will go their separate ways for the first time.

Some rumor suggested that both the Australian stars were going to leave WWE, but PWInsider Elite has rebuffed that. Per the report, the real reason is that Peyton Royce is set for a push as a singles competitor soon.

Mike Johnson reported:

“I was told by several people that Peyton Royce is earmarked for a singles push, they've decided that they wanted to push her, and this is not a case of Billie Kay leaving the company or anything like that. I was told that it's just they want to push Peyton Royce and try and go in a different direction with her.”

“As you noticed, Bille Kay kind of got wiped out on Raw Underground, so my guess perhaps they are going to take her off TV, or put her on SmackDown or somewhere else, but I am told that the reason this happened was not some immediate punishment or immediate issue. The decision was made that Peyton Royce was one of the people who was going to be pushed going further, and this was their means to an end.”

It isn't clear exactly when Peyton Royce will get her WWE singles to push but with The IIconics splitting up this week, it is expected to start in the next few weeks.
