WWE Turned Down THIS Big Idea From The IInspiration
The former IIconics put it on the backburner after WWE said "no"...
The IInspiration recently spoke to Fightful for an upcoming interview, telling the outlet that WWE turned them down when they had pitched hosting a podcast prior to leaving the promotion.
As noted on Fightful Select, Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay held onto the idea when WWE said "no". The former IIconics then ended up launching their Off Her Chops show in May 2021, doing so roughly one month after being released by WWE, with the podcast continuing weekly to date.
McKay also told Fightful that she needed to take some time after she and Lee were let go by the market leaders. The following day, they decided to keep going as a team.
The IIconics were split prior to their WWE releases, with the company sending Lee to Raw while McKay remained in SmackDown in the 2020 Draft. Scarcely used on television prior to the roster reshuffle, their disbandment didn't result in an upturn in fortunes for either woman, who both fell victim to "budget cuts" six months later.
The IInspiration can currently be bound working in IMPACT Wrestling, where they reign as Knockouts Tag Team Champions.
