We were shown an interview with Josh Mathews and Eddie Edwards, the latter of whom wasn't able to show up at Rebellion for his IMPACT World Championship bout against Mike Elgin and Tessa Blanchard due to travel constraints amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Blanchard, as well, was not at the event, as she was unable to make it back from Mexico.
Michael Elgin was interviewed backstage about the issue. The Unbreakable One ran down his list of accomplishments from ROH to NJPW to his career in IMPACT Wrestling. Elgin calls Blanchard a coward, claiming that since she's an American citizen, she should be able to make it to Rebellion. As far as Eddie Edwards goes, the former world champion isn't man Elgin thought he was, as he found a way to avoid the beatdown next week.
It doesn't matter for Big Mike, though. By the end of Rebellion Night 2, he'll be IMPACT World Champion.
The Rascalz (Dez & Wentz) vs XXXL (Acey Romero & Larry D) vs TJP & Fallah Bahh
Dez squared up with TJP. The expert technician was able to bring Dez down with a headscissor takedown and an armbar.
Dez broke out and tried to drag TJP to his corner. The former X-Division Champion wrapped up his opponent with an Octopus stretch. Dez broke out and managed to tag in Wentz. The Rascalz lit up TJP with a kicking combination before the duo knocked XXXL and Fallah Bahh off the apron.
Wentz locked TJP in the Last Chancery. Eventually, TJP escaped and tagged in Fallah Bahh. TJP dropped Wentz with a rolling fireman's carry, following up with body splash from both he and Bahh. Acey Romero broke up the pin before we cut to break.
When we returned, Larry D was hammering Fallah Bahh in the corner with a series of shoulder thrusts. Romero tagged in for a big splash. Bahh kicked out at two. Larry D came back in, attempting to keep Bahh on the mat with a chin lock. Bahh broke away but was rocked with a massive elbow to the jaw.
Bahh caught Larry D coming off the ropes for a belly-to-belly suplex. Still, Larry was able to shake it off and tag in Romero. The duo crashed into Bahh in the corner, flattening him with a pair of big body splashes.
Larry D stunned Bahh with a headbutt, but was flattened with a Samoan Drop. TJP tagged in, connecting with various kicks. Larry shoved him into the corner of the Rascalz, who tagged themselves in before knocking out TJP with a series of kicks. The Rascalz nearly hit the Hot Fire Flame on Larry D, but TJp yanked Dez out mid move, forcing Wentz to crash into the mat.
XXXL took back over, getting rid of both Wentz and the team of TJP & Bahh before a big pounce nearly put Dez down for the three count. They set up Dez for a move up top, but Wentz sent Acey to the floor before hitting two back-to-back superkicks and a springboard cutter on Larry. Dez landed the Spiral Tap, giving the Rascalz a big win.
Results: The Rascalz defeated XXXL via pinfall.
Immediately following the match, the IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions The North cut a promo from Canada. Though they're stuck in Canada, they'll be giving the best team in their country a shot at their belts while they wait to return to dominance in IMPACT Wrestling.
