The IInspiration is just getting started.
In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay) spoke about how they signed with IMPACT Wrestling and how they now have their futures in their own hands.
“It was a very scary time when we were let go, especially since we were not U.S. citizens,” says Lee, who, like McKay, is from Australia. “Every decision we made impacted our future, so that creates a very daunting time. WWE has an incredible platform and amazing brand, but our success is now in our hands. We’re building something bigger, different, something that belongs to us.”
“We’re so lucky to have supporters that continue to follow us,” McKay says. “People want us to succeed and support us in every single endeavor we do, and that’s something we don’t take lightly. So we are going to continue building, continue entertaining and continue to make our supporters proud.”
The pair won the Knockouts Tag Team Championship at Bound For Glory in October, and explained that they are just getting started in IMPACT.
“We’re so grateful to be champions of the best women’s tag division in the world,” McKay says. “When we were free agents, the more Cassie and I discussed our options, the more IMPACT felt like the natural decision for us. We wanted to be with a company with a certain production level and roster. That is IMPACT. It’s been a great journey so far, and it’s just getting started.”
