This former WWE tag team has now tasted major success elsewhere.

The IInspiration (Cathie Lee and Jessie McKay) once held the WWE tag team titles as the Iiconics.

They worked in TNA after WWE and were the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions until they eventually lost the titles to The Elegance Brand.

Now, they have won a major honor outside of AEW in a different promotion.
