WWE is reportedly considering the return of Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay — formerly known as The IIconics — for the upcoming Evolution 2 premium live event in Atlanta.
According to a new report from WrestleVotes, internal discussions have taken place about potentially featuring the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions at the all-women’s event. Now competing in TNA Wrestling as The IInspiration, Lee and McKay remain one of the most popular women’s tag teams in recent memory. The report states,
“After speaking to those in the know, we can report WWE has considered bringing in TNA talent The IInspiration — formerly The IIconics, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay — for the Evolution PLE next weekend in Atlanta. While it’s unclear if they will appear or if this is just an idea being floated, we can confirm the duo has at least been discussed for the event.”
The timing of a potential return is noteworthy, as reports indicate plans for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match at Evolution may have shifted due to an injury to Liv Morgan. This could create an opening for new challengers — or a surprise return.
The IIconics had a memorable WWE run, highlighted by their WrestleMania 35 win where they captured the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
Since then, Lee and McKay have found success in TNA, where they also captured the Knockouts World Tag Team Championships. Their current contracts with TNA could affect a WWE appearance, though previous collaborations between the two companies suggest that a surprise return isn’t out of the question.
