The all-women's show is set to take place in Atlanta on July 13th. A Potential Return For The IIconics The report suggests that while nothing is confirmed, the idea is on the table. "Our source did not confirm if the duo would be showing up or if it was just an idea at this point," the report stated. "But we do know the former WWE Tag Team Champions have at the very least been considered for the event." Lee and McKay currently perform in TNA as The IInspiration. Any potential appearance would be part of the ongoing partnership between WWE and TNA. A Boost To The Tag Division A return for The IIconics could add a significant boost to WWE's women's tag team division. Their entertaining promos and unique chemistry made them a fan-favorite act.

Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay made an immediate impact in TNA (then IMPACT Wrestling), debuting at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view in October 2021. In their very first match, they defeated Decay to capture the IMPACT Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, holding the titles for 133 days. As champions, they showcased a similar charismatic and entertaining heel persona that made them famous in WWE. In April 2022, the duo announced they were taking an indefinite step away from the ring to start their families. After a two-year hiatus, The IInspiration made their return to TNA at the Against All Odds event in June 2025. They have since re-established themselves as a premier team in the Knockouts tag team division. It will be interesting to see whether or not WWE brings them back.
