Trent is rolling solo really quick to get the go-home episode of IMPACT Wrestling before Rebellion wrapped up to discuss how the company set up the final push for the ppv and general consensus on what can potentially come out of the match results. Eli Drake and Eddie Edwards, while left oddly wrapped up given the circumstances is now potentially getting another level after Eli's tweets the weekend of Rebellion. What does it all mean? We will soon find out! Moose, The North and The Rascalz all found a way to get added to Rebellion and it was done in a totally interesting way! It's only fitting all of these superstars get a showcase match on the PPV and popular opinion is that they will steal the show! Will Rosemary and Su Yung have a presence at Rebellion? Lots tension between these two to not let it boil over to one of the biggest shows of the year. Rich Swann and Sami Callihan's saga continues to become more of a psychological Endgame than even a physical match can contain. Sami is officially in Swann's head and now the question is how will that affect their match at Rebellion after Rich's visit to the compound? Killer Kross and Willie Mack has more than meets the eye. Why is Kross trying to turn Mack on Swann? Swann has enough to worry about with Callihan and now this? Where is this puzzle headed? The Deaners have debuted and fun is to be had on IMPACT Wrestling! Jake and Cody Deaner have arrived! GIVE'R! The main even of the show between Johnny IMPACT and The Lucha Brothers Pentagon and Fenix taking on Brian Cage and LAX Santana and Ortiz was one of the best main events in IMPACT Wrestling TV history! Rebellion was previewed in such a way that we can go several different directions and now with Lance Storm as special guest referee who knows what else is going to happen? Trent and Kyle will be back with a FULL Rebellion review following the ppv so be sure to leave your predictions and thoughts! Results: - Ace Austin defeated Aiden Prince - Rosemary defeated The Undead Maid Of Honor - Killer Kross defeated Willie Mack - The Deaners (Cody Deaner & Jake Deaner) defeated Halal Beefcake (Idris Abraham & Joe Coleman) - Latin American Exchange (Ortiz & Santana) & Brian Cage defeated The Lucha Brothers (Fénix & Pentagon Jr.) & Johnny Impact CONNECT WITH TOTAL NONSTOP IMPACT: Social Media: Twitter - www.twitter.com/WETALKIMPACT Instagram - www.instagram.com/WETALKIMPACT Facebook - www.facebook.com/WETALKIMPACT Trent's Twitter - www.twitter.com/vanillajoke Kyle’s Twitter: www.twitter.com/kl_tni Streaming Audio: Apple iTunes - apple.co/2NpzbqF Stitcher Radio - bit.ly/2DjPznT Google Play - tinyurl.com/ybh29sfp TuneIn Radio - bit.ly/2NreA57 iHeart Radio: ihr.fm/2swvl1Z Spotify: spoti.fi/2B1zBeL Soundcloud - @user-625858195 Music: Intro Music: Re/vengeance by HEMI www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgJaXGhE3pw Listen to Decay by HEMI - The official theme song of #IMPACTREBELLION www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1hRy6CVoSs www.hemimusic.bandcamp.com Watch the IMPACT Wrestling and HEMI commercial at www.hemimusic.com
