Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay) is set to have their televised AEW in-ring debut on the next episode of AEW Dynamite.

On Saturday, during the February 28 episode of AEW Collision, MJF opened Collision, asking Tony Khan to change his stipulation against Adam Page at AEW Revolution. However, he was soon interrupted by Kevin Knight and opened up about his winning streak.

MJF followed it up by offering Knight a title shot on the upcoming March 4 episode of Wednesday night Dynamite, which the latter accepted.

Tonight, in a video segment, Lee and McKay called out The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor) for ruining their debut in Australia.

The March 4 episode will also feature the televised in-ring debut of IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay), who previously made their AEW debut back at AEW House Rules Australia.

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.
