Impact Wrestling Rebellion Night 2: Results, Highlights, and Grades
Impact Wrestling Rebellion Night 2 took place on April 28 at 8pm ET on AXS TV and Twitch. The following will provide some results, highlights, and analysis from the special episode.
As many are aware, Impact Wrestling was forced to move Rebellion from pay-per-view to air as a special two-night episode on AXS TV and Twitch.
Night One saw Ken Shamrock defeat Sami Callihan in the Unsanctioned main event, while Willie Mack defeated Ace Austin to capture the X-Division Championship. Crazzy Steve returned to Impact in a six-man tag match, and Kylie Rae pulled out the win over Kiera Hogan.
Below are the three advertised matches for Night Two, according to ImpactWrestling.com:
"– Joey Ryan vs. Cousin Jake Four-Way X-Division Match – Suicide vs. Chris Bey vs. Rohit Raju vs. Trey Full Metal Mayhem Match – Rosemary vs. Havok"
Tessa Blanchard was scheduled to defend the World Championship against Eddie Edwards and Michael Elgin in the main event, but Blanchard and Edwards were unable to attend the taping for Rebellion.
With that said, here’s a breakdown of all the action from Rebellion Night Two!
Suicide vs. Chris Bey vs. Rohit Raju vs. Trey
Result: Chris Bey earned the victory
Rating: 3.5/5.0 Stars
Grade: B+
Impact made the right choice to open up Rebellion with some X-Division action. They had fun train wrestling up front. It felt like Chris Bey was the favorite going in considering he’s the newcomer, and my gut instincts were not off. Obviously a crowd would have helped enhance the action, but they kept it fast and furious all throughout as expected.
Does anyone know who is under the Suicide mask this time around? Is TJP pulling double duty? Madison Rayne, who has been a fun addition to commentary, made a fair point about Suicide never being in the ring with these three, allegedly. He looked great regardless.
Everyone was able to get their stuff in and worked super hard in the ten-minute-plus sprint. It would have been nice if there were added stakes. This could’ve easily been labeled a number one contender’s match. There’s no denying that Chris Bey vs. Willie Mack is a money match for the X-Division. Nevertheless, Chris Bey was the right choice to win this one.
