Back in 2018, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay known collectively as The IIconics made their main roster debut on SmackDown. In this debut they attacked Charlotte Flair which allowed Carmella to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase and become SmackDown Women’s Champion.
In a recent interview with Ring the Bell, Royce (Cassie Lee) tells all about that moment. She calls it a dream debut and lets fans know that they weren’t even aware that Carmella was cashing in.
“I was shaking in my little boots right there. So nervous. I can even tell watching it back and the way I talk, I just don’t have the confidence that I eventually did have. I was just so nervous. This was basically my dreams coming true in this moment. It was such a huge opportunity for us against Charlotte. We had no idea Carmella was going to cash in. No, no, no idea at all, and then we realized how big of an opportunity that was, and we didn’t actually grasp it until Carmella cashed in. But yeah, this is, I mean, we talk about it all the time. If we could dream up our debut, this is what it would be.”

Royce has had her first child, returned shortly to the Australian indie scene before currently being pregnant with her second child.
