TNA delivered a packed night at Rebellion 2026, featuring multiple championship clashes, storyline twists, and a major Hall of Fame announcement. Here’s how everything went down.
Countdown Pre-Show
- Ryan Nemeth def. BDE
Nemeth leaned into the heel role early by trolling the Cleveland crowd with Pittsburgh Steelers gear. BDE brought the speed and nearly scored the win with a frog splash, but Nemeth smartly rolled to the apron to avoid the pin. A rope-assisted neck shot followed by the Hollywood Ending sealed it. - Eric Young will confront EC3
Main Card
- X-Division Championship: Leon Slater (c) def. Cedric Alexander
Alexander targeted the back throughout, even spiking Slater with a nasty top-rope brainbuster. After a close nearfall off the Lumbar Check, Alexander got distracted by the title belt. Slater capitalized, hitting a Styles Clash onto the championship before finishing with a Swanton 450 to retain. - Frankie Kazarian def. Elijah
Weapons came into play throughout, with both men using a belt at different points. The finish saw chaos involving a guitar, leading to Kazarian hitting a low blow and stealing the win with a roll-up. - Special Agent Zero def. Moose
A hard-hitting battle turned chaotic when outside interference and Alisha Edwards getting caught in the crossfire shifted the momentum. Moose tried to help her to the back, but Zero took advantage, delivering a pair of devastating chokeslams to score the win. - Hardcore Country Match: Ash, Heather & M by Elegance def. Mickie James, ODB & Taryn Terrell
A wild, comedic bout featured everything from pickle juice to weaponized props. The finish came after interference from Mr. Elegance allowed Ash to hit a DDT on ODB for the victory. - ODB announced for TNA Hall of Fame
Following the match, Tommy Dreamer and Carlos Silva made it official—ODB will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory. - Nic Nemeth def. AJ Francis
Francis dominated early, but Nemeth rallied with signature offense and even paid tribute to John Cena mid-match. After interference from a returning KC Navarro and help from Cleveland Browns legend Bernie Kosar, Nemeth hit Danger Zone to pick up the win. - Knockouts Championship: Arianna Grace (c) def. Lei Ying Lee
Stacks’ interference was neutralized, but Xia Brookside shocked everyone by turning on Lee, costing her the match. Grace capitalized with a running knee to retain. - EC3 returns
EC3 answered Eric Young’s call, dropped him with a clothesline, and issued a challenge for Impact—marking his official return. - TNA International Championship: Mustafa Ali def. Trey Miguel (c)
Heavy interference from Order 4 helped swing the match. After a brutal shot with a helmet, Ali landed a 450 splash to capture the title. - Undead Realm segment
Abyss and Father James Mitchell reunited in a nostalgic segment reflecting on their shared history. - TNA World Tag Team Championship: Brian Myers & Bear Bronson def. The Hardys (c)
Despite a strong showing from Matt and Jeff, The System capitalized on an opening, hitting a tandem superkick/piledriver combo for the win and the titles.
Main Event
- TNA World Championship: Mike Santana (c) def. Eddie Edwards
A chaotic main event saw Edwards target Santana’s arm early before things broke down with interference from multiple parties. Moose exposed Alisha Edwards’ alliance with The System, leading to distractions and near falls. After surviving the Boston Knee Party, Santana fired back with Spin the Block to retain the title.
