Rhino was worked over but drilled him with a clothesline and went to make the tag, but Shera knocked Miller off the apron before it could happen.

REBELLION 2023
Ultimate X - Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions Ace Austin & Chris Bey vs. The Motor City Machine Guns
They began brawling at the bell with The Guns having the early advantage. Austin and Bey worked over Shelley but didn't realize Sabin was trying to climb up to grab the belts. He was stopped. The Champs hit double stereo dives to the floor. The Guns worked over Bey's knees and then caught Austin in the corner. He fought off Shelley and tried to make his way across the wires, only to be pulled down to the ring.
Everyone battled, Austin and Sabin scaled one of the metal structures towards the wires but took each other out. Shelley took out Bey's leg with a Dragon Screw Legwhip then cinched in a figure four. Shelley and Austin battled in a corner as Bey recovered. Bullet Club nailed a double clothesline in Sabin but Shelley nailed them with one of his own. The Guns set up the Champions for a double Shelley submission, allowing Sabin to try and make it to the titles. Austin escaped and pulled him down.
Sabin exploded with offensive maneuevers. Bey's knee seemed to slip while being whipped but he recovered and nailed a leaping DDT on Shelley so it may have been a fake out. Bey dove and wiped out Sabin with a great moonsault to the floor. Bey went to the top but Shelley nailed a jawbreaker off the ropes and hit a missile dropkick. He sent Austin to the floor but he recovered and nailed a big Fosberry Flop to the outside on The Guns. Really spectacular looking sequence.
Everyone battled. The Guns drilled Bey with a double kick. Austin climbed across the ropes but the Guns beat him until he fell. They nailed a dropkick to his face.
It led to all four making their way across the cables and battling near the center, where the belts were hanging. They all crashed down. Bey nailed the Art of Finesse on Shelley, followed by Austin hitting the Fold. Bey was lifted up to the cables. Sabin battled over but Bey retrieved both belts before he could be stopped.
Your winners and still Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions, Bullet Club!
They reviewed the lineup.
Steve Maclin said it sucked to be in Canada and that it sucks focusing on Josh Alexander for a year to see him get injured. He said that everyone forgets that where he's come from and ran down where he was stationed in the Middle East. He promised to win the title. It was a good promo.
The Design vs. Impact Wrestling Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry & Dirty Dango & Santino Marella.
Hendry did his usual good promo building up that Marella was returning to PPV for the first time in nine years. They showed Marella's young son at ringside.
Marella and Callihan started. Marella nailed karate takedowns on everyone. Hendry tagged in and was worked over. He fought back and Dango tagged in, cleaning hoiuse. He nailed a big legdrop on Callihan. Kon took over on Dango and drilled him with a series of back elbows in the corner. The Design kept tagging in and working him over. Dango finally drilled Deaner and made the hot tag to Santino, who unloaded with strikes and a takedown. Big Kon nailed him from behind. Everyone battled in the ring. Hendry nailed a double Fall Away Slam on Deaner and Angels. Dango took out several Design members with a dive. It came down to Callihan about to hit Marella with a bat but instead he turned on Deaner and drilled him. That received a big pop and Deaner was great selling this. Callihan walked out. The crowd called for The Cobra, which Marella pulled out and nailed Deaner with it but there was no referee. One finally hit the ring and scored the pin.
Your winners, Impact Wrestling Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry & Dirty Dango & Santino Marella!
This was a solid, fun bout.
