AEW rumored to have interest in former WWE, TNA tag team
The Iinspiration could be headed to AEW.
Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee finished up with TNA Wrestling on the promotion’s AMC debut show last month, where they dropped the Knockouts Tag Team titles to The Elegance Brand. In this week’s edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer wrote that there has been “a lot of talk” about the team potentially coming into AEW.

“We’ve heard a lot of talk of The Iinspiration (Jessica McKay & Cassie Lee) coming in, really ever since they left TNA for another opportunity right after losing their tag titles to The Elegance Brand on the AMC debut show on 1/15.”

Previously known as Billie Kay and Peyton Royce in WWE as The IIconics, McKay and Lee were with the company from 2015 until they were released as part of roster cuts following WrestleMania 37 in 2021. The pair debuted for TNA Wrestling later that year before announcing a hiatus from wrestling in April 2022.
They returned to TNA in June and went on to regain the Knockouts Tag Team titles. During their time with the company, they became two-time Knockouts Tag Team Champions, in addition to holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles once during their WWE run.
