Jessica McKay and Casie Leee, formerly known as Billie Kay and Peyton Royce (The IIconics) in WWE, recently took part in a media call hosted by IMPACT Wrestling to promote this coming Saturday night’s Bound For Glory 2021 pay-per-view from Las Vegas, Nevada.
During the call, the duo who now use the tag-team name The IInspiration in IMPACT Wrestling, spoke about the origins of the new team name and how it was inspired by the 2000 cult comedy classic film, “Bring It On.”
Featured below is an excerpt from the call where the women’s wrestling tag-team duo touch on this topic.
“There were many names thrown around. Some of them good…some of them horrible, but it was about bouncing stuff off the wall and seeing what sticks. But Cassie, I will give props to her, she came up with the IInspiration from “Bring It On,” classic film that we’ve all seen a million times. They call themselves “inspiration leaders,” and she loved that and told me about it and I was like, “that’s amazing.” And it just stuck, it felt like us. It’s so crazy…now we say the word inspire 100 times a day, and I never knew that…so of course now we’re saying the word all the time so it definitely fits for us.”
