AEW Interested In Signing 2 Former WWE & TNA Champions
There are two wrestlers who could be signed by AEW in the very near future.
One of the fastest-growing divisions in AEW of late has been the women’s tag team division. After they recently introduced the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles won by Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron, there are other teams that have been featured in the division.
That tag team division could be growing soon. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the former WWE tag team known as the IIconics, who were TNA’s The IInspiration, could be signing with AEW soon. They are known as Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay.
“We’ve heard a lot of talk of The Iinspiration (Jessica McKay & Cassie Lee) coming in, really ever since they left TNA for another opportunity right after losing their tag titles to The Elegance Brand on the AMC debut show on 1/15.”
In WWE, Cassie Lee was known as Peyton Royce, and Jessica McKay was Billie Kay. They worked there from 2015 until their release in the spring of 2021. They held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. In TNA, they were 2-time Knockouts Tag Team Champions.
Cassie Lee is married to WWE NXT superstar Shawn Spears, who previously worked for AEW. The couple has two kids together, and McKay has one child with her husband.
Major AEW Show Taking Place In Australia
There’s no word yet on when McKay and Lee could debut in AEW, but since they are from Australia and there is a huge show there on February 14th, it would make sense to do it there, even though they live in the US.
AEW Grand Slam Australia takes place on February 14th from Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia. It airs in the usual AEW Collision timeslot at 8 p.m. ET on TNT and HBO Max. Here’s the lineup.
* AEW World Championship: MJF (c) vs. Brody King
* AEW Continental Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita
* AEW World Title #1 Contenders Match: “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Andrade El Idolo
* Loser Gets Their Head Shaved: Orange Cassidy & Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta – Whoever takes the fall in the match will have their head shaved.
* AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship: Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron vs. Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford
The winner of the “Hangman” Adam Page/Andrade El Idolo match will face the winner of the MJF/Brody King match for the AEW World Title at the AEW Revolution PPV in March.
