MELBOURNE, Australia — When Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, also known as Aussie wrestling duo ‘The IIconics’, take to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in front of more than 70,000 screaming fans on Saturday night, they’ll be performing just metres away from where their professional journey began four years ago.
The duo are originally from Sydney and now live in Orlando due to the busy schedule, but their foray into WWE began at Rod Laver Arena — a stadium most famous for being centre court when the Australian Open rolls around each January.
Speaking with ESPN ahead of the WWE Super Show-Down, The IIconics say they had “a bit of a moment” when they drove past Rod Laver Arena, which stands in the shadows of the MCG, where Saturday night’s action will take place.
“We had our WWE try-out at Rod Laver Arena almost four years ago, so coming back here for the MCG show is such a full-circle moment for us,” Kay tells ESPN.
“We literally just drove by Rod Laver [today] and we both got goosebumps and butterflies. It’s very wild and it’s very humbling,” Royce adds.
