The IInspiration Makes Surprise Return to TNA at Against All Odds 2025

Friday’s TNA Against All Odds 2025 event at the Mullett Arena in Phoenix, Arizona featured The IInspiration’s Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee making their surprise returns to TNA.

Following The Elegance Brand’s (M, Heather, & Ash By Elegance) victory over Xia Brookside, Myla Grace, & Harley Hudson in a Six-Knockouts Tag Team match on the Countdown pre-show, the Personal Concierge entered the ring and boasted about The Elegance Brand and how there is nobody that can stop them. This led to the IInspiration’s music playing to interrupt and them coming out making their surprise return.
