Billie Kay vs. Daria Berenato:
This was the fallout of the match from Toronto, as Daria was out for revenge, but Peyton interference assured that Billie would get the win.
Iconic Duo vs. Aliyah and Liv Morgan:
This match took place in Osaka, Japan, during an international tour that NXT was doing around the end of 2016. Unlike the majority of the Iconic Duo’s matches in NXT, this match was a lot longer, as this was essentially an uncut house show match, as the entire show took place in Osaka, and was essentially a taped house show broadcast as an episode of NXT. But it was a good match all around.

Hello Nightly!!!
Tonight, it’s time to make 5 proud as we take a look at some wrestling in Canada for tonight’s edition of the IIconics retrospective.
The Iconic Duo and Daria Betenato vs. Aliyah, Liv Morgan, and Ember Moon:
This match was taped right before NXT TakeOver: Toronto went on the air, and it would air the following Wednesday on NXT. NXT would do this a lot back during the taped era, they haven’t done it since they went live. This was a good match for what it was, it did seem like this match got cut down between its taping and it’s airing, as the match wound up only being five minutes, which isn’t nearly enough for a six woman tag, but I think everybody involved did pretty well, it was a solid tag match, Daria would end up eating the pin thanks to Iconic Duo, who more or less walked out of the match. Considering the creative direction for the Duo at the next TakeOver, I wo

Hello Nightly!!!
Tonight, we continue the IIconics retrospective. The Iconic Duo has officially been formed at this point, and they’re putting the women’s division on notice.
Billie Kay vs. Aliyah:
Again, not a great match with these two, Aliyah is simply too green in the ring. Aliyah actually ended up winning here thanks to Liv Morgan interference, but I think Billie should have won considering she and Peyton were getting a push, and the Duo ended up standing tall after the match anyway.
Peyton Royce vs. Liv Morgan:

Billie Kay vs. Aliyah:
Peyton Royce vs. Danielle Kamela:
This was Peyton’s first match in months, and this was the first match where the Iconic Duo were officially together. Also, Danielle Kamela would later become Vanessa Borne, and this was her debut match in NXT.
Billie Kay vs. Liv Morgan:
This was the start of a mini feud with the Iconic Duo and Liv Morgan, as the Duo had mocked her after her loss to Asuka. This was a pretty good match, Liv was still a bit green, but there was some potential here. The week after, The Iconic Duo would ambush Liv during her interview with Charly Caruso and cut a promo putting the NXT Women’s Division on notice. The Iconic Duo are officially here.
