The IInspiration make AEW debut at House Rules in Australia
Former WWE and TNA Tag Team Champions The IInspiration made their AEW debut at Sunday’s House Rules event in Brisbane, Australia.
Following their departure from TNA last month, speculation began around Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay potentially joining AEW and possibly appearing at Saturday’s Grand Slam Australia given they are from Australia. That did not happen, but it did on Sunday.
The two defeated Frankie B and Aysha after which former TNA Knockouts tag team champions officially announced themselves as “officially All Elite.” Their last match occurred on the January 15 episode of TNA Impact.
As of this writing, AEW head Tony Khan has not officially announced they have been signed.
The 33-year-old Lee first started in 2009 in PWA with the 36-year-old McKay whose career began in 2007. The two began their WWE NXT run in 2015, eventually adopting their new names of Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, and were called up to the main roster in 2018 where they remained until March 2021.
