We come to Raw next week and I know I don’t have a tag match. I don’t have Billie by my side. That’s something new because ever since we started NXT five and half years ago, this has been us. It’s just very unnatural.”

On the other hand, Billie Kay tried to be strong. However, it became quite clear that she was holding back tears. What she said about The Iiconics and their friendship is overpowered with emotions.

We are going to be in this alone and that’s scary but that’s life. Everyone goes through changes for growth and times where you have to evolve and we are at that point. So as scary and as sad as we are we both know we can achieve anything we set our minds to. Even though we won’t be supporting each other out there, back here we will have each other’s back a 1000% every single day for the rest of our lives. That’s something that’ll never go away.“

Finally, Billie Kay assured their fans that even if the Iiconics won’t be performing inside the ring anymore, they will keep the team alive in their hearts.
