The IIconics delivered a stunning upset on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live, defeating the Women’s Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Bayley. After pestering the championship duo for the past couple of weeks, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce put together a complete match and shocked both the Women’s Tag Team champs and the crowd in Indianapolis.

After coming out and boasting for a bit, the IIconics got off to a fast start before the match quickly turned into a back-and-forth affair. Although the IIconics looked greet early on, things changed late in the match, when Sasha Banks seemed to get the upper hand over Peyton Royce. Unfortunately for her and Bayley, however, the IIconics were able to claim victory thanks to some last-minute chaos.

After interfering with Banks from outside of the ring, Billie Kay delivered a swift kick to the head of Bayley. In the ensuing moments, Peyton Royce was able to quickly roll up Banks for a pin, and as the referee counted to three, Kay grabbed Banks’ arm, preventing her from kicking out. That allowed the IIconics to walk away victorious, and left Bayley and Banks stunned in the ring.
