Former WWE Stars and current IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Champions The IInspiration (Cassie Lee [F.K.A. Peyton Royce] and Jessica McKay [F.K.A. Billie Kay] recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated on how it was a very scary time for them when they were let go by WWE this past April 15 because they were not U.S. citizens.
Cassie Lee said:
“It was a very scary time when we were let go, especially since we were not U.S. citizens.” “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.”
The IInspiration then talked about how they feel like IMPACT Wrestling is where they needed to be and that it comes as a natural decision for them to be in IMPACT Wrestling and how grateful they are that they get to become the IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Champions, but that they are just getting started.
Jessica McKay said:
“We’re so grateful to be champions of the best women’s tag division in the world.” “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.”
