Recently signed AEW duo Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee (The IInspiration) dropped the TJPW Princess Tag Team Championship to Miu Watanabe and Rika Tatsumi in the semi-main of TJPW YES! Wonderland. The loss marked a quick title change for the former WWE stars, who were credited with a spirited performance in Japan but ultimately came up short against the local tandem.

Backstage footage of the pair’s post-match promo quickly caught attention for its comedic tone: Cassie Lee joked about being dehydrated after an 18-hour flight and getting hit by paper streamers, while Jessie McKay blasted opposing wrestlers for repeatedly targeting her leg and even suffering multiple backside strikes. The IInspiration also quipped about banning streamers, demanding ice-cold water, and insisting they approve opponents’ move lists — a playful send-off after their TJPW run.
