The IInspiration Return At TNA Against All Odds
The IInspiration made their return to TNA Wrestling tonight at Against All Odds. The group consisting of Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay appeared during Against All Odds' Countdown pre-show. The duo showed up to briefly face off against the reigning TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships, The Elegance Brand. Advertisement The moment didn't result in too much, but Ash By Elegance and Heather By Elegance were clearly affected by the return. The group was visibly upset, while the crowd was incredibly excited to see the return of Lee and McKay. It's unclear exactly what the future holds for the group, but it's clear that their return is something fans were happy to see. Prior tonight, The IInspiration hadn't been on TNA branded TV since 2022. The group are previous TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions, though, and look to be ready to go at the belts again. Before their time in TNA, the group was in WWE, as The IIconics. READ MORE: Tatum Paxley Answers Jordynne Grace's Open Challenge At TNA Against All Odds What do you think?

First match announced for TNA Slammiversary
TNA Slammiversary is scheduled for July 20 from UBS Arena in Long Island, New York, and now we have the first official match for the PPV event. Santino Marella used his Director of Authority power to book Moose versus Leon Slater for the X-Division Championship. Advertisement The justification was Slater pinning the champ in an 8-man tag bout at Against All Odds. The history runs deeper than that though with the controversial finish in the Ultimate X match at TNA Rebellion. Slater had retrieved the title, but Moose speared him to steal the belt before Slater's feet hit the mat. For those sleeping on Slater, here is a taste of his skills with the swanton 450 splash. At the end of Impact, Slater leaped over the ring post onto a pile of bodies. There could be a wrinkle in this match for Slammiversary, because Moose has business first at AAA Triplemania Regia to defend the X-Division Championship in a four-way against Joe Hendry, El Mesias, and El Hijo del Wagner Jr. A title change is doubtful in that bout, but it still needs to be considered as a possibility. For those keeping track of the live timeline, the Slammiversary announcement was filmed before the Triplemania Regia announcement.

Former WWE Team Makes Shocking Return to TNA Wrestling
Former WWE Team Makes Shocking Return to TNA Wrestling originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A former WWE act has returned to TNA Wrestling. Fightful had reported that TNA was working on some surprise returns ahead of "Against All Odds 2025." At the time of the report, it wasn't known which stars the company was targeting. Things became quite clear on Friday. Advertisement The IInspiration, formerly known as The Iconics in WWE, made their return to TNA at "Against All Odds." Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay appeared during the pre-show. They made their entrance after the Elegance Brand defeated Xia Brookside, Myla Grace, and Harley Hudson. Later on during the pay-per-view portion of "Against All Odds," Lee and McKay were interviewed by Gia Miller. The duo called the Elegance Brand "discount perfume models." It appears The IInspiration will immediately be involved in the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship picture. The team once held tag team gold under the TNA banner, and they'll likely be looking for their second reign. Advertisement A new Fightful report revealed that Lee and McKay are under one-year deals with TNA Wrestling. It was mentioned that there is an option to extend the deals if both sides agree. TNA reportedly secured The IInspiration within the last couple of weeks. It was also said that recent regime changes led to The IInspiration making their return. Company officials had reportedly been looking to increase the women's tag team division. It's another addition to TNA Wrestling's women's division. The promotion recently scooped up international stars Myla Grace and Harley Hudson, who lost the aforementioned tag team match against the Elegance Brand.
