Why did they break up The Iconics in the first place?

Vince & breaking up tag teams have no logic!

Team Ciampa vs Undisputed Era
Ricochet, Pete Dunne and War Raiders vs Undisputed Era
Both WarGames matches
Initial reports had suggested they wanted to push Peyton as a singles star, so they broke up the most genuine women tag team they had. Ended up drafting her to Raw and placing her in another tag with Lacy Evans I think. Billie Kay was doing pretty well with her story line on smackdown ‘looking for a tag team partner’ I thought.

Joe was amazing on commentary too. If they didnt want to medically cleared him they shouldve kept in on as a commentator, he was better all those guys on the panel!

SOTM Winner - July 2014
That was a really good show overall, I caught some of it. Sting looked pretty decent. Obviously he isn't the same as he once was, but if he never has a full match again, this was a good send-off to his in-ring career. Some might have questioned why he got the win instead of Darby Allin, but Allin has had nothing but positives by being associated with Sting and this was the latter's time to record a long overdue victory after being on the receiving end of poor booking in the WWE. That spot where Allin was thrown from the ring into the crowd was simple but damn cool-looking.
Britt Baker winning the Women's Title was the right call. Shida is an excellent performer and she carried the entire division for the year she held the title, but it was time for a change.
The World Title match was well-done also. Wasn't sure whether Cassidy could really show he has what it takes to break out of the midcard and go to the top, but he definitely belongs up there. Didn't like the usage of the title belts though, seemed like too much of an effort to get cheap heat on Omega's part when it was unnecessary.
Guevara winning the Stampede match was a good choice. He's probably the next breakout star that once booked correctly, will go a long way. Same for Jungle Boy winning the battle royale. Part of me wanted Christian to win, but I think the right call was made to have Jungle Boy end up on top.
There was another bunch of releases by the WWE this week, the two biggest being Strowman and Alistair Black. Strowman needs to go to AEW, if for nothing else than to lead Harper's Dark Order. They can't pass that opportunity up at all. Samoa Joe's no-compete clause should be up soon, but I'd rather that he go back to RoH or Impact. I don't see him really fitting into AEW.

Interesting thoughts on Braun a possible leader of the Dark Order, seems amazing, good one.
The triple threat match was the best match for me, yeah Orange is a great performer we already knew about Kenny and Pac’s work but man Orange was right up there with those guys.
Yes i read about the WWE releases and I would really like to see Ruby Riot in AEW or Impact, she is an amazing talent and was never really given a chance in WWE at all.

I've been out of the loop for a couple years, but AEW is kinda pulling me back in. Can't wait for CM Punk and Bryan Danielson (aka Daniel Bryan) to debut.

I've basically stopped watching WWE all together ever since aew started. There's simply too much better wrestling out there with AEW, NJPW and even Impact.
With guys like Punk and Danielson coming to AEW, I have even less reason to watch WWE anymore
The only time I'll watch WWE is for WrestleMania but that's only because me and my friends haven't missed a single one since 20, and we always get together to watch it. It's more of time to catch up with friends than anything else for the past couple of years

Literally the same, I just watched the last two WMs and Royal Rumbles
Yep I rarely watch WWE shows anymore, mostly follow the dirt sheets etc. AEW I havent missed in a while, many rumours of Punk headlining this Friday’s show……..
I still dont see Bryan joining them though but the storied matches he can have in AEW certainly some instant classics. Bryan better than anyone else have the attitude to build stars in a match and put over the younger guys. I still rate him in the top 3 wrestlers in the world today.

Yep same here but I’ve kinda loss interest in NJPW is it still good?

Bryan is definitely joining soon.
NJPW is still good, as long as my boy Ishii is around. It's definitely lost some momentum due to the pandemic but it's still a solid product
