#3 Releasing two women in their WWE prime
In the age of make-shift WWE Tag Teams, The IIconics felt like a true unit. It was a shame that their run together ended abruptly with a stipulation match on RAW and no storyline whatsoever.

The entire handling of Peyton Royce and Billie Kay was never great, but it took a more bizarre turn on April 15th, 2021, when both the women were released by WWE.
Peyton Royce is only 28, and Billie Kay is 31 - which is still young in WWE years. While women were unfortunately given less TV time, they still had a few prime years left. Especially Royce.
She seemed set for a big run after her incredible match against Asuka on RAW, while Billie Kay proved to be the most consistently entertaining comedic character that WWE has had since R-Truth.
Letting two top women go in their prime seems to be an all-around bizarre decision.
