Imapct Wrestling holds their second major PPV of the year, Rebellion, today, and it will usher in major changes to the promotion following a turmoil-filled last month. In the main event, with Josh Alexander being forced to vacate the Impact World Championship, it will now be original challenger Steve Maclin vs. KUSHIDA for the vacant title. Likewise, with Mickie James not cleared to compete and being forced to vacate the Knockouts Championship, it will be Jordynne Grace vs. Deonna Purrazzo for the vacant title. Elsewhere, Ultimate X returns for the Impact Tag Team Championship, Trey Miguel must defend the X Championship against both Jonathan Gresham & Mike Bailey in a 3-way after his plans to disrupt their #1 contender match backfired, and more.
