WE HAVE A CLEAN WINNER IN THE TITLE VS. TITLE MAIN EVENT: COMPLETE IMPACT WRESTLING REBELLION PPV COVERAGE

Matt Cardona vs. Brian Myers.

Cardona was attacked but fired up.  They ended up on the floor brawling early.  Myers went for a suplex but Cardona landed on his feet and nailed a neckbreak, with each of them hitting the corner of the apron.  Myers ended up on the outside of the ring barriers and snapped Cardona backwards across the barricades.  Some nice intensity early on.

Back in the ring, Myers continued to work over Cardona, focusing on the neck.  Myers scored several two counts and cinched in a rear chinlock, continuing the attack.  They battled to the floor, where Cardona nailed the Radio Silence (Rough Ryder) on the entrance ramp.  Cardona got up with the idea that he hurt his hip from executing the move.  Myers went into the ring and back to the floor.   Myers speared Cardona on the floor.  This has been very good.

Myers tossed Cardona in and ascended to the top, nailing a flying elbow for a two count.  Myers controlled Cardona, until he was nailed coming into the corner.  Cardona went for a Radio Silence but was elevated away.  When Cardona went down, his knee buckled and he went down.  They had several officials come down.  Myers stopped to check on him and offered a handshake, then pulled Cardona into a clothesline.  He nailed the Roster Cut and scored the pin.

Your winner, Brian Myers!

Really hard work across the board here.  The finish made sense for a longer program and to show how depraved Myers is and what he's willing to do to win.  Good stuff.

Backstage, AEW President Tony Khan was interviewed by Gia Miller.  Jerry Lynn, Tony Schiavone and Aubrey Edwards were with him.  Scott D'Amore showed up and told Khan they have the refereeing under control with Brian Hebner.  Khan said that he would never screw anyone.  D'Amore agreed that there would be two referees tonight.

Impact Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Champions Fire N' Flayva vs. Jordynne Grace & Rachael Ellering.

Jazz came out with the challengers.  Matt Striker said she's acquired a manager's license.

Ellering had all the control early against Steelz and then against Hogan.  She powered Hogan over to the corner, where Grace powered her around and slammed Hogan on the mat.  Hogan came back to catch Grace with a kick.  The champions double-teamed Grace, scoring a series of near falls.  Good wrestling early on here.

Ellering finally made the hot tag.  Everyone battled.  Fire N' Flayva nailed a double dropkick and scored a two count on Grace.    Grace reversed a double suplex attempt.  Ellering got banged up and was getting checked on the outside.  She got back to the apron.  Grace backdropped Steelz but whatever was supposed to happened, didn't and Steelz crashed down in a frightening way to the apron and floor.  Grace nailed a dive to the floor.  Hogan hit a bodypress off the top onto everyone.

The challengers were going for a Hart Attack it semed but Grace was pulled out of the ring,  Ellering nailed a sit-out powerbomb and scored the pin.

Your winners and new Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Rachael Ellering and Jordynne Grace!

They worked super hard here and this was enjoyable but there was some scary stuff here with Steelz's bump to the outside and obviously Ellering at some point tweaked something.  But, this shined through it all.  

Tasha Steelz is ONE TOUGH WRESTLER.  God bless her.

Last Man Standing: Sami Callihan vs. Trey Miguel.

They faced off at the bell.  Miguel nailed several drd4sdtfh8io-opkicks but was caught going for one and slammed over the top to the floor.  Miguel writhed in pain but Callihan went to the floor before the referee could count to ten.  Callihan slammed him again.  Callihan worked him over but Trey came to kick him into the barricades.  Callihan pulled himself up by the barricades.  Miguel went for a suicide dive but Callihan walked away, leaving him to torpedo the guard rails and wipe himself out.  Callihan hiptossed him over the guard rail to the outside of the ringside area.  They are trying HARD to make Miguel sympathetic to the viewers.

Callihan grabbed a production box on wheels and charged Miguel with it but Miguel escaped.  Callihan hurt his hands.  Miguel went for a rana but Callihan caught him and powerbombed him on the box.    Callihan stalked Miguel, opening up the box.  He pulled out a chain and drilled Miguel across the back with it.  Miguel tried to grab him by the throat but was nailed back.  Callihan shoved a wrench in his mouth, fish hooking Miguel.

Callihan began throwing chairs into the ring.   Miguel was almost counted down but pulled himself up on the production box.  Callihan brought him back to the ring.  A table had also been brought into the ring.  Callihan missed a shot with the wrench.  He was slammed into the chairs.  Miguel set up the table.  Callihan slammed him on the upside down table, snapping his back around the open legs of the table.  That looked brutal.  Callihan placed him on the top and tossed a chair in his face.  Callihan set up the table underneath the corner. 

Callihan nailed a piledriver off the ropes, glancingly hitting the table, which did not break but flipped over.  OUCH.  The referee counted both men down but Callihan returned to his feet by seven and Trey rolled out of the ring, onto his feet, at nine.  Callihan set up another table on the floor.  He called for a powerbomb off the ring steps but Miguel fought back.  He went for a suplex into the table but Callihan grabbed him by the NARDS as they said in The Monster Squad.  Callihan nailed a piledriver on the steps, then placed Miguel under thee steps and sat on them, telling the referee to count.  The referee got to eight but Miguel emerged under the ring, having free himself.  Callihan didn't realize this and was attacked from behind, hit with a cutter through the table.

The referee counted both men down,  Miguel was able to pull himself to his feet with the barricades.  Callihan went to use the table to pull himself up but slipped and fell back down, counted out.

Your winner, Trey Miguel!

An entertaining and very inventive brawl.Impact Wrestling Champion Rich Swann was interviewed by Gia Miller.  He said this type of match never happens.  Two champions with one goal to prove they are the World Champion and that they are the best.  He said that their mind games got into his head early on but now that the match is upon us, there isn't a game they can play that will get to them.  This is the biggest match of his career and Kenny Omega's career.  They've won World titles in the past but what makes this different is that once the bell rings, one person is going to take all of the gold.    He said this is an Impact PPV and this is his house.  If Omega thinks he's going to take away his prize and his pride, he has another thing coming.  If you think he's going to let his family, all the Impact wrestlers, down, it's not happening.  He's going to rebel and he's going to bring the fight all night long.
