The IInspiration had a run in Impact Wrestling following their WWE release, and they recently talked about going there in a new interview. Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay spoke with Nick Hausman for Haus on Wrestling and talked about their decision to sign with Impact and more.

“It just felt like the right step to make,” said McKay (per Fightful). “It was something that we had spoken about together. There are a lot of things that have to come together to make something work, and IMPACT just came together. It was the right time for us, it felt good, we liked their schedule, it being a little bit more relaxed because we had been at home out of the wrestling bubble for a little bit and we knew that we wanted to try and maintain that balance. We had known all of the girls in the locker room, never worked them inside of the ring so it was just an exciting time for us. We also just had a fun time rebranding and evolving our characters.”

She continued, “I remember Cass came over one day and I said, we can do this and this and this and it was kind of like getting the ball rolling, and she’s like, oh, what about this? It was just really fun. We had kind of lost that fun and we hadn’t teamed up for so long, so it was kind of like re-sparking our love for tag team wrestling at the moment.”

The two last competed at Impact Rebellion before taking an indefinite wrestling hiatus.
