Peyton Royce Recalls Terrible Meeting With Vince McMahon & Believes it lead to her Release

“This is when you were drafted to Smackdown and I decided to put on my big girl panties and talk to Vince. I had in my head what I wanted to say but he brushed it off very quickly and I went ‘crap’. I had an idea that I wanted to present, and he wanted to discuss other ideas – but I didn’t have other ideas. This is what I wanted to talk about and put my time and effort into. Vince says “What do you do for fun?” Me being me, the introvert and the homebody that I am, I had to let him know that I like to sit on the couch with my dogs and watch TV.

He just stared at me and Said Okay Whats your Plans? in my head I’m just like, ‘make something up’ and I couldn’t make anything up – nothing was coming out. I’m not a liar. I feel like he could have seen right through that. I basically said to him ‘I’m sorry, I’m boring’ and I just like to be home on my off days’. I didn’t contribute much during that unfortunately and that’s probably why I lost the job.”

Damn girl....try and lie next time maybe

 

[Cwalker]

Why would you go to Vince McMahon with only one idea?

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yeah. I mean one idea is better than no ideas. But at least have a back up one.

 

[Chris]

If that meeting is the reason she got fired them that's dumb as well tho lol I doubt it is but you could probably say if she pitched something better she may have been kept...just conjecture tho.

Bc clearly Peyton is talented so just bc she's boring and might not have ideas of her own off screen doesn't mean you can't come up with something yourself

She shoulda pitched a superhero gimmick

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Super Peyton can save me any day.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I mean, they also, at the root of all this, really had no reason to break them up in the first place though

Like...if the idea was to break them up, you would think they'd have a plan for each of them. I guess that's probably too logical though

 

[Cwalker]

Even though I wasn’t a fan of the Iconics(Peyton can work; I just hated hearing them talk) it made no sense to break up.

Especially considering they put both of them in another pairing almost right away

they were the fucking inaugural Tag Champs were they not ?

 

[Chris]

Yeah I still don't see why they would have been split up in the first place, funniest shit too bc both went back to doing tag stuff with other people almost instantly

But also another reason this meeting probs isn't why she was fired is Billie Kay seemed to have great ideas for her character that were implemented but she was still fired too lmao

 

[Chris]

Nah, Bayley and Sasha I believe

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I think sometimes they just draw random words out of a hat, and whatever comes out is what they do. They pulled “Break up” out of the what to do bag, and IICONICS out of The Who bag.

yeah it's just weird man. Like, at the very least you would think you do the EASY trope of just feuding vs each other

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Nah, Bayley and Sasha I believe

my bad you are correct. they won the titles at mania

 

[Jimmy King]

I believe that they were the longest reigning women’s tag champs at one point. They had them for awhile I know that and then barely defended them iirc.
