HUGE NEWS COMING OUT OF IMPACT ON AXS, KENNY OMEGA RETURNING FOR REBELLION PPV MAIN EVENT

The final segment of Impact Wrestling on AXS not only shifted the Sacrifice PPV into a new direction but set the stage for the main event of the 2021 Rebellion PPV.

Impact Wrestling Executive Scott D'Amore revealed that the Sacrifice PPV main event would now be Title vs. Title with Impact Wrestling Champion Rich Swann vs. TNA Champion Moose in a Championship Unification match.

D'Amore then revealed that the Unified TNA/Impact Champion would then move on to the Rebellion PPV on Saturday 4/24 to face AEW Champion Kenny Omega in another Champion vs. Champion Unification match with Don Callis taking credit for being the puppet master behind all of this.

So, the implication is that by the end of April, there will be one World champion between AEW and Impact Wrestling, bringing forth a modern day equivalency to past AWA vs. NWA and WWWF vs. NWA Championship matches in the 1970s, all of which (Harley Race vs. Bob Backlund, Ric Flair vs, Rick Martel, etc.) were unique attractions but ended without a clear winner.

Given that New Japan Pro Wrestling just unified their IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles into a new IWGP World Championship, one has to wonder whether this means that Champion, currently Kota Ibushi might be stepping into the ring down the line with this new Unified Champion.  Stranger things have happened!
