The IInspiration finds Steph De Lander to replace Jessie McKay

"

The IInspiration have a bump in the road of their professional wrestling careers. A baby bump that is. Since Jessie McKay revealed her pregnancy, that brought questions about the future of the iconic duo. The answer came in Ring of Honor with a replacement for Jessie. The IInspiration chopped it up with Caprice Coleman to address the issue. Obviously, Jessie can’t wrestle, but that doesn’t mean the career of Cassie Lee is on pause as well. Jessie came up with a plan to replace her when she can’t be ringside. The teases were Australian, six feet tall, strong, badass, and a huge fan on the IInspiration. Cassie entered for singles action on episode 186 of ROH TV. Cassie was accompanied by Jessie and… Steph De Lander! Yep, SDL certainly fits the description given by Jessie. .@CassieLee of The IInspiration is back in singles action on #ROH TV, and she’s not coming alone! @JessicaMcKay is in her corner, along with an unexpected reinforcement in @stephdelander?! 📺 Watch ROH TV on #HonorClub at https://t.co/l79CE3gZbz pic.twitter.com/Y5Gq7ZP795 — ROH – Ring of Honor Wrestling (@ringofhonor) October 2, 2026 Cassie handled business to defeat Lady Leigh via butterfly facebuster. ROH posted the full match with the surprise entrance and the post-match celebration. SDL even struck the iconic pose with the IInspiration as they exited off stage. De Lander should be a good fit to fill in for Jessie. SDL has a lot of personality. She can be silly to riff along with Cassie and Jessie. She can also be rugged to dish out pain in the ring.
