Kinda crushes me to see Jessie McKay looking sad. Been a fan since her Shimmer days. But I don't think WWE ever used them to their full potential, so I fully believe their best days are still ahead of them. Hang in there! :)

Remember when Billie Kaye/Jessie was a femme fatale in NXT? MAN she's come so far, such an incredible tag team. If they go to AEW they could start a women's tag revolution

"Jon's fans are...something, sometimes". Renee with the understatement of the decade.

Moxley refusing to want to be seen as cute online is hilarious to me, Renee being like "even your badassery has limits mr. lunatic fringe"

WWE splitting up an established women’s tag team when they were trying to keep a women’s tag division going and then not doing anything major with them individually was always a bad sign in terms of possibly being released. I hope they do well in whatever they do next though as I find them really entertaining.

I swear they make decisions on the fly about EVERYTHING, sometimes for no good sensible reason. I thought it was just the show re-writes right before Raw or Smackdown. Nope, it’s personnel moves, too. Crazy how reactionary they are sometimes as an organization.

Couldn't stand the Iiconics at first - I found them SO obnoxious (a testament to just how good they were), but by the end, I absolutely adored them. They deserved better than being broken up, languishing, and eventually being released (especially Jess, who was absolutely OVER). I want nothing but success (and green cards) for Cass & Jess.

I still don’t understand the timing; it looked like Cassie was about to get a significant singles push, while Jessica was being given new things to try. As someone who has been laid off, there is a grieving process you go through. These two are so honest about that.

respect to these two for being so open about the grieving process they had to go through. They lived as a personality and a name for years and it is taken away without them getting any sort of closure. That has to be tough.

I hadn't watched any wrestling since 2001 until we were sitting through the quarantine and i saw clips of Jessie McKay as Billie in the WWE. She's a fantastic on-air personality and an entertaining wrestler. I hope we get to see Jessie vs Dr Britt someday

I love these two. Entertaining tag team gutted they was released

Man, Cassie making fun of Jessie for "interpretated" is adorable. Shows how they really are sisters

I appreciate how open they were on how they processed their emotions over the release. I've been laid off from jobs in the past but I never really considered how to feel when we develop these sorta extended friends/family components through some jobs and then they're just taken away from you. I'm glad the ladies were able to share what that was like. Seemed therapeutic as well.

The IIconics winning the tag titles at wrestle mania 35 was my favorite moment of the event. They are so talented, and always entertain when they are on the screen.

Cass and Jess seem like an absolute pleasure in everything I have seen them do, so I am glad to have watched this, as it was a joy per usual.

Every single time they both speak out..I can feel the pain after being fired... Its just pure emotional... #ICIONICSForever

Hated both of them when they started on WWE television. Then for some reason started loving them. Was completely pissed at WWE for releasing them.

I honestly think the IICONICS are the BEST women's tag team ever. I can't think of another team that didn't seem like they were BORN to be a tag team and not just two singles competitors slapped together. I didn't like them at first but their comedy grew on me. Watching them grow in the ring was impressive as well.

FOREVER IICONIC!!! 💙💙

It's crazy that even though I wasn't watching the video and just listening to the audio I somehow knew that Cassie did the air quotes when she said budget cuts had to rewind the video for confirmation.

Splitting up The IIconics was the first step to releasing them

So Cassie really wants to work with Anny Jay and Tay Conti. Cassie and Jessica to AEW confirmed!

Cassie and Jessie!!!! The name sounds so refreshing ✌️✌️✌️

Adore them! And Renee! ❤️

We still love these 2,you guys haven't fallen out of the spot light,nothing can dim your shine.your fans are here and we can't wait to see you back on tv. Don't shed another sad tear✌💪❤

Awesome awesome sesh so far. Thank you, ladies. 👏👏👏👏

They will always be iiconic and one of the best tag teams

So much emotion in this video. Bringing back a lot of memories from last year when I got laid off of my job. You guys are gonna continue to do great things. Hope you get all the support you need!

Oh man, I was crushed seeing how they were affected :/. You guys are much more than WWE, and can do so many amazing things now. Whoever you work with going forward is really lucky, two rare talents.

it’s crazy how WWE through and through they are, it was their dream for their entire lives to go to WWE! It’s so shocking that they let them go especially when there’s some wrestlers who seem like they want to go or would be happy wrestling anywhere. They loved being at WWE. I can’t wait to see what they do next. Jessie and Cassie are amazing and are going to be stars no matter what.

Great interview with great entertaining talents.

breaking them up was so stupid, both of these girls are so entertaining, i know ya'll will both land on your feet, fingers crossed it's together

How sad ..you can see and hear it in Cassie’s voice that she is so frustrated that WWE locked their availability to other projects and other offers from other promotions. She really wants to work somewhere but can’t

The breakup then release of the IIconics is another reason that I despise Vince McMahon and his hatred of people getting over by themselves - the IIconics as a pair had more charisma than about 90% of the WWE roster at the time and breaking them up definitely felt personal

Thank you Renee for interviewing these kick ass Ladies… ❤️ and 🍪 🍪 🍪

They wer so funny. Great work thank you for all your hard work. You will find success in any pathway youchoose

Some people think WWE is a waste of time but it’s not. The experience you get from WWE is priceless.

My God, they are such amazing heels in the ring, but they are absolute faces in reality. Love them both

They're IIconic! *strikes the pose*

Renee, I am glad that Hunter is still friendly and professional to you and Jon.

I want BK on wrestling tv forever. She's a Star ✨

these girls will always be a good surprise entry in a royal rumble.

Love the IInconics!!!!! My favorite girls.

this will be great

This is great!

Jessica, that dialect was really good. Your coach knows their stuff

From day one, I loved the IConics. That firsst debut was memorable. And seriously... I am rooting for you both to be in AEW. That's my favorite company now. You are in the prime of your careers and I think you would totally carry the women's div. Probably be the inaugural women's tag champs because you know... the Iconics are badass lovable heels. I can just see the endless battles with so many talents there. :) Please debut soon!!!!

I remember 2 years ago when Smackdown was at the ACC in Toronto then the IIconics were trolling the Raptors then they won the NBA Championship after ! 🇨🇦🦖🏀🏆

These two women are amazing and they were amazing as The Iiconics. I very much enjoyed watching them so much. This interview made me cry and feel for them so much. I really hope things get better for them. I would love for them to tag in AEW!!!

Great video of this great interview.

Great blog today

Thanks

Jessica McKay is the total package, beautiful and funny!

I’m sticking with my hope for them to be called The 👁👁KHANics in AEW

Neither of them are particularly great in the ring, but they are both stunningly beautiful and are fantastic on promos. They have so much to offer any promotion. They are so funny together that the in-ring part isn't even that important for them. Billie proved that at the end of her WWE run. She was getting more popular than she had even been, and she wasn't even wrestling. They can get over without it, and they both improved in the ring during their time with WWE, so there is no reason to think that they won't get better. I don't understand why WWE let them go. They have so much upside, especially when compared to some of the women that are still on the main roster in WWE. I hope they find a company that will allow them to go out together and do their thing. They will be successful.

It is amazing watching three intelligent and positive people like these three ladies. The hour just flew by! I am sure that Cassie and Jessie will be even better now!

Omg i can see the sadness in their eyes the iiconics is amazing the problem is not then is Wwe they don't know what yo do with great talent I love you and I always will thank you for making me smile and laugh ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love you guys so very much ❤❤❤

These two were my favorite tag team after kabuki warriors ended they were the only women's tag of substance... wwe is crazy... haven't wanted to watch since.

We might have to wait a year for them to appear :( . Well I guess it give me something to look forward to

Jessie McKay was a mainstay at Shimmer. Watching her live, I couldn't understand why WWE wasn't signing her - she was the total package. I'm happy for everything she's accomplished in her career.

Two stars killing it for Australia any company would be so lucky to have them on their rosters. Also girls keep fight keep digging like us Aussie r known for

Such a great and enjoyable team! The WWE is missing out...

Way to go Renee! Be very interesting having these two as guests while you focus on the most important person in your life.

I wasn't into cheering for bad guys before Cassie and Jessie came to WWE. Both of them stole my heart because of their personalities and their sense of humor. It's very hard to Boo them as heels because they are great human beings.

I love the iiconics, wwe messed up and whatever company picks them up will raise their value immensely

I was so bummed when they released them .... Jessica is so gorgeous .... Both are but damn JMK just damn !

If i had to choose when to get released, during a massage would probably be probably in top 5

I was never a fan of these 2 but I can see that they had a passion and still have a love of wrestling. They made their dreams come through by making it to the WWE. I don't think they will read this comment but just know you didn't fail The WWE, The WWE Failed You.

How they treated Jessica during her singles run was so unfair. Thanks god she’s a member of the UWC now and how much of a sweetheart she is. BY ORDER OF THE UNITED WRESTLING CONSORTIUM!
