The IInspiration, formerly known as The Iconics in WWE, made their return to TNA at "Against All Odds." Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay appeared during the pre-show. They made their entrance after the Elegance Brand defeated Xia Brookside, Myla Grace, and Harley Hudson.
Later on during the pay-per-view portion of "Against All Odds," Lee and McKay were interviewed by Gia Miller. The duo called the Elegance Brand "discount perfume models."
It appears The IInspiration will immediately be involved in the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship picture. The team once held tag team gold under the TNA banner, and they'll likely be looking for their second reign.

A new Fightful report revealed that Lee and McKay are under one-year deals with TNA Wrestling. It was mentioned that there is an option to extend the deals if both sides agree. TNA reportedly secured The IInspiration within the last couple of weeks. It was also said that recent regime changes led to The IInspiration making their return.
Company officials had reportedly been looking to increase the women's tag team division.
It's another addition to TNA Wrestling's women's division. The promotion recently scooped up international stars Myla Grace and Harley Hudson, who lost the aforementioned tag team match against the Elegance Brand.

LAFC coach: "Thomas Müller is a perfect fit for us!"
Many football fans are currently watching the Club World Cup in the USA - the sport has never felt as alive in this country. Some managers of the country's own clubs are meanwhile scouting players for their own teams - and Thomas Müller is hottest soon-to-be free agent on the market for American clubs. 'Of course I would be delighted if he came. Thomas is a perfect fit for us with his type, his experience, his class, but also with his mentality. Anyone who thinks Los Angeles is all about the weather and the show is very much mistaken. We want to win titles. And Müller knows how to do that', says LAFC coach and former Bundesliga player Steven Cherundolo about the Bayern Munich legend. Advertisement As LAFC is a partner club of Bayern Munich, the bosses of the German club would be very pleased to see Müller joining the Los Angeles based team. Other MLS clubs, mainly Cincinnati and their boss Jeff Berding, have also eyed up a possible Müller transfer in recent weeks. 'Thomas understands the game like no other. This position behind the front line suits him - and would also work for us and would help us a lot. But we'll talk about that when the time comes', continued Cherundolo in an interview with 'BILD'. Thomas Müller has regularly opened up about his thoughts post-Bayern Munich - he does not know, whether his football journey ends after the Club World Cup or not. But he does want to focus on the tournament and his last games with Bayern Munich before making any decisions about his future.

Ashley Tisdale says Sharpay Evans is the 'most iconic' High School Musical character
Ashley Tisdale thinks her High School Musical character is the "most iconic" of them all. The 39-year-old actress played wannabe stage star Sharpay Evans in the hit Disney film series and claimed more than 15 years after the final instalment was released that her alter-ego has gone on to become the most memorable amongst fans. She told People: "When I played the character of Sharpay — I think it was probably what made her so funny — was that I truly thought [Sharpay] was the popular girl in school. I thought Sharpay was popular, and I played it like she was popular. "And [director] Kenny Ortega enhanced that. He really made me feel like I was popular. But what's so funny is that she's not the popular girl. She's the drama queen. And my husband's like, 'That's what's so funny about how you played it. You really thought you were popular." "Sharpay is — I swear she's mother to everybody — because it's like she just keeps coming back on these memes and people keep talking and doing the songs. "And I'm just like, I mean, out of everyone in High School Musical, my character is the most iconic. It's so cool." The High School Musical series initially followed Zac Efron as East High's star basketball player and how he broke free of the high school clique system as he and top student Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) sought out leading roles in a school play. Ashley also made her name starring in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody for Disney Channel, and recently reprised her role of Candace in a reboot of Phineas and Ferb, but ultimately "can't believe" that a string of failed auditions led her to a part in a franchise that became such a success. She added: "I mean, it's so cool … It's really awesome to be a part of these projects that have really been so prevalent in pop culture and to play these characters. "It's just, you're like, 'Dang, man.' I can't believe out of everything that I auditioned for [...] I got this animation [series] that has lasted this long. Or I was always trying to get a Disney movie, and never got the movie. And then, I got High School Musical. "Out of all the ones, I get that. This is pretty awesome."
