Earlier this week, Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee, collectively known as The IInspiration, and The IIconics in WWE, announced they were stepping away from pro wrestling. Their joint statement wouldn’t reveal why, but they were looking forward to exploring other opportunities. Now it has been confirmed that for McKay, those opportunities include breaking into acting, as she has been confirmed as appearing in an upcoming film titled The Charisma Killers, produced by Michael Matteo Rossi and starring Vanessa Angel. McKay’s role is listed simply as “Swinger Wife.” Additionally, her IMDB profile lists her as appearing in future movies Maverick and Prom Night.
32-year-old McKay signed with WWE in 2015 after participating in a tryout during their tour of Australia in August 2014. After a run-in NXT where she became known as Billie Kay, she and her longtime friend Cassie Lee then called Peyton Royce, would join SmackDown as The IIconics. They would achieve success holding WWE’s Women’s Tag Team Championships, then despite seemingly having no plans for them as singles competitors, the company would split them up. Ultimately this would result in both falling down the pecking order and being included in WWE’s mass releases on 15 April 2021. Since then, though, they had resumed teaming in Impact Wrestling, winning the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions on their first night in the company.
