In October, Royce formed an alliance with Billie Kay, later dubbed The Iconic Duo.[24] The duo subsequently entered a feud with Liv Morgan,[25][26][27] which culminated in a six-woman tag team match on the 23 November episode of NXT, in which Morgan, Aliyah, and Ember Moon defeated Royce, Kay, and Daria Berenato.[28][29] In the end of December, Kay and Royce were placed in a brief feud with the NXT Women's Champion Asuka after the latter stated there is no competition for her. On 28 January 2017 at TakeOver: San Antonio, Royce competed in a fatal four-way match against Kay, Nikki Cross, and Asuka, in which Royce failed to capture the NXT Women's Championship.[30] Shortly after that, in the end of February, Royce defeated Ember Moon and Liv Morgan in a triple–threat to earn another opportunity at Asuka's NXT Women's Championship,[31][32] which she once again failed to win.[33]
Throughout the year, Royce continued to rack up victories over competitors like Aliyah,[34] Sarah Logan,[35][36] and Ruby Riot.[37] After defeating Liv Morgan and Nikki Cross in a triple-threat match,[38] at TakeOver: WarGames, Royce competed in a fatal four-way match for the vacant NXT Women's Championship, which was ultimately won by Ember Moon.[39] In December, Royce lost to Moon in a non-title match, which was her final match for NXT.[40][41] Royce made her first main roster appearance on 8 April 2018 at WrestleMania 34, competing along with several other NXT superstars in the first WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal where she was eliminated by Sarah Logan.[42]

Royce and Kay, now dubbed The IIconics, made their main roster debut on the 10 April 2018 episode of SmackDown Live attacking SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, while she was cutting a promo about her match at WrestleMania 34.[43][44] Two weeks later, The IIconics racked up their first victory, as part of the main roster, over Asuka and Becky Lynch.[45] Throughout the next few months, Royce competed in various singles and tag team matches but ended up on the losing end on them all.[46][47][48][49][50] In August, The IIconics started their first feud on the main roster, with Naomi, and the two were able to defeat her in singles matches.[51][52] Eventually, Naomi teamed up with Asuka but lost to The IIconics at the Super Show-Down on 6 October, held in the latter's homeland of Australia.[53][54][55][56] Three weeks later, both Royce and Kay took part in WWE's first all-women's pay-per-view, Evolution; they were the first two eliminated from a battle royal for a future women's championship match.[57]
On 27 January 2019, both Kay and Royce entered their first Royal Rumble match at number 7 and number 9, respectively, and they managed to eliminate Nikki Cross, before they both were eliminated by Lacey Evans.[58] On 17 February, at the Elimination Chamber event, The IIconics competed in a tag team Elimination Chamber match for the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, which was won by The Boss 'n' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks).[59] In March, The IIconics started a feud with Banks and Bayley, whom they defeated in a non-title match.[60] Because of their win, they (and two other teams) challenged Banks and Bayley for the championship at WrestleMania 35 in a fatal four-way match.[61][62][63] At the event, which took place on 7 April, The IIconics won the match after Kay pinned Bayley to win the Women's Tag Team Championship for the first time.[64] On the 5 August episode of Raw, The IIconics lost the titles to Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a fatal four-way match.
On 16 October 2019, it was announced that The IIconics had been drafted to Raw as supplemental picks of the 2019 WWE Draft.[65] After a brief hiatus, Royce and Kay made their return on the 11 May 2020 episode of Raw, interrupting WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. They later defeated the champions in a non-title match. They would unsuccessfully challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships multiple times throughout the summer. They would begin a feud with Ruby Riott mocking her backstage for not having any friends. They would go on to trade victories as Kay and Royce defeated Riott while Riott defeated Kay. At Payback, The IIconics were defeated by Riott and her newly reunited tag partner Liv Morgan.[66] The following night on Raw, The IIconics were forced to disband after losing to The Riott Squad per stipulation.
On 12 October 2020 during the 2020 WWE Draft, Peyton remained on Raw, while her former tag team partner Billie moved to SmackDown. She would begin to team with Lacey Evans until Evans announced her pregnancy. On the 22 March 2021 episode of Raw, Royce faced Raw Women's Champion Asuka in a losing effort. This would in turn be her final match in WWE,[67] as on 15 April 2021, Royce was released from her WWE contract along with other WWE talent including her former partner Billie Kay.[68]
