A former WWE superstar made a bold claim ahead of Saturday's Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia.
Elimination Chamber 2024 is only the second premium live event in Australia and the first since Super Show-Down back in October 6, 2018, in Melbourne. There were only three Australians on that card – Buddy Murphy, Billie Kay, and Peyton Royce.
Murphy, now known as Buddy Matthews in AEW, defeated Cedric Alexander to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Kay and Royce, known as the IIconics, beat Asuka and Naomi in a tag team match.

In a post on her Instagram stories, Billie Kay claimed that the IIconics are the best women's tag team in wrestling. Kay pointed out that she has known Peyton Royce for twenty years and counting.
"Best tag team in the business if you ask me! We've known each other 20 years now @cassielee."
The IIconics were released as part of budget cuts back in April 2021, after WrestleMania 37. They signed with Impact Wrestling after their 90-day non-compete clause expired. They lasted less than one year on Impact as both Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, now known as Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee, announced their hiatus from pro-wrestling.
McKay gave birth to her son, Cooper in December last year, while Lee and her husband, Shawn Spears are expecting their second child this year. They announced the pregnancy four days after McKay welcomed her son into this world.
