The IInspiration will not be walking through The Forbidden Door.

According to a Fightful Select report, Impact Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Champions Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay were offered spots in the 2022 women's Royal Rumble match, but turned the offer down.

The report cites an Impact Wrestling source that said that the company would have approved the deal, but that Lee and McKay did not want to go back to WWE at this time.

Lee and McKay would have joined Knockouts Champion Mickie James as Impact talent participating in the Rumble had they accepted the offer.

The IInspiration joined Impact in October 2021 at the Bound For Glory pay-per-view, where they won the Knockouts Tag titles. The duo performed as The IIconics in WWE prior to their April 2021 releases.

Performing as Peyton Royce and Billie Kay, the team captured the WWE Women's Tag titles at WrestleMania 35 in April 2019, holding the titles for 120 days.

Yeah I can see why their situation was different than Mickie and why they were not interested

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Well that's dumb.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Maybe I'm getting my hopes up but.. makes me wonder if a male talent from Impact will enter the Rumble. Maybe someone WWE crowds will be familiar with. Them approaching Mickie and The IInspiration makes sense. Good names to try get in to it.

Part of me understands why they didn't do it given the way they went out but it's free promotion for them

Give me Moose.

 

[O-Blaze]

It’s like TEW that backstage moral for them clearly isn’t good

 

[Comrade Khan]

I dont see why moose would go does he even have any real name value in wwe? Mickie James is hof material

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Moose would get an awesome pop.

 

[O-Blaze]

Moose would get an awesome pop.

He could, Rumble normally is the more smarky crowd who probably knows him. But maybe he wouldn’t get much of one either.

 

[Just Juice]

I mean I don't know why anyone is surprised they didn't want to go back - especially because of all their visa dramas

The return of Big Cass

The return of Big Cass

This wouldn't surprise me, or Matt Cardona. Two names that keep coming back to me. Moose would be cool, but I hope the crowd would give him the pop he deserves.

 

[Cwalker]

Ryder would make sense too. Doesn’t seem like either guy has heat with the company for releasing them

 

[Booters]

As Long as it means I can hear that radio song again.
