The interaction and what Asuka had to say:
Royce and Kay reacted to ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’s’ loss in an exclusive interview with WWE.com after the show. They are claiming to be better than Asuka. Check out the tweet:

You can watch the full video where The Iiconics discuss this below:
Asuka took to her Twitter account to respond to WWE, clearly forgetting who she’d faced numerous times in NXT and just earlier that night in the ring.
Who are those people ??? https://t.co/EqIhXvqZTl

This led to Kay responding with a typical Iiconic snarky comment.
Oh us??? #TheIIconics & we totally BEAT you tonight ???

To end the interaction, the former NXT Women’s Champion sent a video from the week before on SmackDown where Kay rolled out of the ring to avoid an attack by ‘The Empress of Tomorrow.’
