Lee and McKay speak about their comeback.
For the first time since 2022, The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay) were back in tag team action. They returned to the ring as a duo for Prestige Wrestling in April.
A new interview with the duo was pushed out by Rick Ucchino of The Takedown on Sports Illustrated. McKay spoke about their return and said they had been training since October 2024 at Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze's Flatbacks Wrestling School.
McKay: "It was absolutely incredible to get back in the ring at Prestige this past April. It had been three years since Cassie and I had had a tag team match together, and honestly, we were ready for it. We’ve been training since last October at an amazing wrestling school in Orlando - Flatbacks and immediately starting brainstorming gear ideas and how we can make this run better than ever. We have been having so much fun and want to keep up that momentum.”
Several months later, The IInspiration reemerged in TNA Wrestling at the Against All Odds show. They were in action for the company at the proceeding television taping. Lee opened up about their TNA return.
Lee: “TNA is the right place for us as when we stepped away three years ago, it was from TNA. We really enjoyed our time there and loved the people and performers we were able to grow into. So, it only felt right to make our return to TNA. Now is the right time as we both have our families set up at home. We stepped away to start our families and have loved getting to spend every moment with them.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, the NXT-TNA partnership was brought up and The IInspiration was asked about crossing over.
McKay said it would be a full circle moment for them. The duo spent six years with WWE.
McKay: “We learned so much at our time in NXT and the women’s roster there now is so talented so it would definitely be a full circle moment for us.”
The IInspiration expressed that they intend on becoming Knockouts World Tag Team Champions. They've held the belts once under the IMPACT banner. The current champions are The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance & Heather by Elegance).
