TNA Rebellion 2026 Results

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.

Rebellion 2026 delivered on multiple fronts—new champions crowned, shocking betrayals, and the return of EC3, all capped off by Santana standing tall to close the night.

ODB Set for TNA Hall of Fame Induction

TNA Wrestling has officially revealed its first name for the 2026 Hall of Fame class, and it’s a familiar one to longtime fans. ODB is headed for induction following a memorable moment at Rebellion 2026.

After competing in a six-woman Hardcore Country tag team match, the post-match scene quickly shifted into something far more meaningful. TNA President Carlos Silva and Tommy Dreamer entered the ring, clearing out The Elegance Brand to make way for a special announcement. With Mickie James and Taryn Terrell by her side, ODB was caught off guard as Dreamer spoke about the importance of genuine moments in professional wrestling.

Dreamer praised ODB’s contributions to the business and even teased the possibility of her returning to TNA—though not without joking that she might need to clean up her look. Silva then made it official, confirming that ODB will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame later this year at Bound For Glory. The announcement was met with an emotional reaction, as ODB took a moment to thank the fans who supported her throughout her career.

ODB’s legacy in TNA is hard to overlook. A four-time Knockouts Champion, she also held the Knockouts Tag Team Titles and won the Gauntlet for the Gold match twice. Her unique personality and hard-hitting style helped define an era of the Knockouts division, making her one of the most memorable figures in its history.

With her induction now confirmed, ODB’s impact on TNA will be celebrated on one of the company’s biggest stages later this year.

EC3 Set for TNA Return at Rebellion Tonight

TNA Wrestling is bringing back a familiar face in a big way tonight, as the company has officially confirmed the return of EC3 for its Rebellion pay-per-view event.

After teasing fans with a series of mystery “lockbox” vignettes, TNA made the announcement public, revealing that the former two-time TNA World Champion will be appearing live at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The company hyped the moment on social media, emphasizing EC3’s decorated history in the promotion and positioning his return as a major attraction for the show.

EC3 hasn’t competed in TNA since Bound for Glory 2020, where he came up short against Moose. Despite that loss, his previous run in the company cemented him as one of its standout stars, having held both the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the Impact Grand Championship.

With Rebellion airing live tonight on pay-per-view and TNA+, EC3’s return adds another layer of intrigue to an already stacked card. Whether he’s back for a one-off appearance or something more long-term remains to be seen, but his presence is sure to shake things up moving forward.

TNA Revives Lockbox Mystery Ahead of Rebellion 2026

TNA Wrestling is once again leaning into intrigue as the company ramps up promotion for Rebellion 2026, dropping a new teaser that has fans speculating about what’s to come.

The latest video brings back the now-familiar TNA lockbox, a visual that longtime viewers will recognize from past major moments. The prop previously played a role during the company’s transition back to the TNA name, and it was also used in the buildup to AJ Styles’ surprise involvement at Slammiversary 2025. Its return immediately raises questions about whether another big reveal is on the horizon.

Adding to the mystery, TNA has also been airing a string of cryptic teasers featuring numbers and mathematical equations. So far, there’s been no official explanation, but the layered clues suggest the promotion is building toward a significant storyline twist or debut tied to the Rebellion event.

With the pay-per-view set for Saturday, April 11 at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio, the timing of these teasers is unlikely to be a coincidence. Whether it points to a returning star, a debut, or a major storyline development, TNA is clearly aiming to generate buzz heading into one of its marquee shows of the year.

For now, fans are left to connect the dots—but history suggests the lockbox rarely shows up without something big inside.

Ricky Morton Speaks Out on Risky Spot at TNA Rebellion: “Leon Gave You His Trust”

Wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Morton is never shy about speaking his mind, especially when it comes to the safety of today’s talent. Following a jaw-dropping — and dangerous — moment at TNA Rebellion, Morton took to social media to call out what he saw as a breakdown in one of wrestling’s most sacred codes: trust.

The incident occurred during the multi-man TNA X Division Championship match, where reigning champ Moose defended his title against five challengers. At one point, rising star Leon Slater scaled a steel beam more than 15 feet in the air and launched himself with a Swanton Bomb onto the crowd of wrestlers waiting below on the outside. But instead of catching him and absorbing the impact — a standard in high-risk spots like this — Slater crashed through them and hit the floor hard. Miraculously, he walked away seemingly unscathed.

Morton, watching from afar, didn’t hold back in his criticism. “I’m disappointed,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Leon gave you his trust and body on the line for an amazing moment & all of you DROPPED him. Thank God he walked away. In our business, trust is everything and his trust may never be the same.”

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express veteran wasn’t trying to throw anyone under the bus, though. In a follow-up post, he urged younger wrestlers to speak up when they’re not fully confident in a planned move. His message was as much about accountability as it was about protection.

“I will add, don’t agree to stuff if you don’t feel confident and comfortable. Speak up. I assure you, it won’t make you any less of a wrestler,” Morton advised. “I just genuinely hoped that everyone could take something from what happened, learn from it, and focus on fixing what’s next. We all make mistakes, myself included.”

The spot has sparked debate online, with some fans applauding Slater’s fearlessness and others echoing Morton’s concerns about safety and timing. Regardless of where you stand, it’s clear the conversation about risk and responsibility in modern wrestling isn’t going away anytime soon.

One thing’s for sure — when a veteran like Ricky Morton speaks, the industry listens.

Moose successfully defended his title against Slater, Matt Cardona, KC Navarro, Sidney Akeem, and El Hijo del Vikingo, and is closing in on 200 days with the title.

Indi Hartwell Signs With TNA

TNA made a major addition to its Knockouts roster, officially announcing the signing of Indi Hartwell during the Rebellion pay-per-view on April 27, 2025.

In a backstage segment, Hartwell shared her excitement about this next chapter, calling it a dream come true. “It’s officially official. Indi Hartwell has crossed the line,” she said, referencing TNA’s iconic slogan.

The Australian star brings a strong résumé to the table. Hartwell is a former NXT Women’s Champion and former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion, where she teamed with Candice LeRae. She also gained popularity as part of the faction The Way, alongside LeRae and Johnny Gargano, and was involved in a memorable storyline romance with Dexter Lumis. Hartwell was released from WWE on November 1, 2024, making her a highly sought-after free agent.

Fans won’t have to wait long to hear more — Hartwell is set to speak on the upcoming live episode of Impact Wrestling this Thursday, May 1, 2025.

TNA Rebellion 4/27/2025 (Results)

TNA Rebellion 2025 delivered plenty of chaos, title defenses, and a few major surprises. Here’s a full rundown of everything that went down:

Pre-Show Action

Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne, & Jazmyn Nyx def. Rosemary, Xia Brookside, & Lei Ying Lee
In a high-energy six-woman tag, the TNA side looked strong early, especially after Rosemary speared Henley on the floor. Brookside and Lee kept the momentum going with tandem dives, but the tide turned when Rosemary slipped brass knuckles to Brookside, urging her to take the shortcut. Brookside refused, tossing the knucks away — but the distraction let Jayne shove her into Rosemary before landing a nasty discus punch to steal the win for the NXT trio.

Johnny Dango Curtis Out; Deaner Rejected by The System
Travel issues kept Johnny Dango Curtis off the card, leaving Moose to pull double duty. Deaner, whose contract is set to expire May 1, volunteered as a replacement — but Eddie Edwards quickly shut him down, mocking Deaner’s recent refusal to accept a “young boy” spot. No second chances here.

Walk with Elijah Open Challenge: Elijah def. Shane Haste
NJPW’s Shane Haste answered Elijah’s open challenge, but it didn’t end well for him. After shouting “I walk alone” and trying to rally, Haste ran right into a flying knee strike. Elijah sealed the deal moments later with a tombstone piledriver.

Main Card

TNA X-Division Championship – Ultimate X: Moose (c) def. Leon Slater, Matt Cardona, Hijo del Vikingo, KC Navarro, and Sidney Akeem
Despite his fear of heights, Moose retained his title in a wild Ultimate X match. Alisha Edwards even tried climbing for him at one point but lost her grip. Leon Slater stole the show with a daring Swanton 450 from the truss, but just when it seemed like he’d secured victory, Moose speared him out of mid-air to snatch the win.

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship: Ash & Heather by Elegance (c) def. Dani Luna & Jody Threat, Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend, Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley
The champs found a way to survive a chaotic four-way. Tower of Doom suplexes erupted in opposite corners, but Elegance’s new recruit Maggie Lee held Ash’s legs down to avoid being tossed. That positioning let Ash hit a Swanton Bomb on Threat to retain.

Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, & Ace Austin (w/ Sean Waltman) def. Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, & Moose (w/ Alisha Edwards)
With Curtis unavailable, Sean Waltman got involved to even the odds. Channeling D-Generation X energy, the faces hit classic moves before Waltman laid out Alisha Edwards with the X-Factor. The Rascalz and Ace followed up with Bronco Busters, and Wentz sealed the win with a UFO Cutter on Moose.

TNA International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) def. Eric Young
Maclin stood tall against Eric Young, rejecting offers to join the Northern Armory. Despite interference from Judas Icarus and Travis Williams, Maclin survived a gritty slugfest, countering a piledriver attempt into a roll-up for the win. Post-match, Northern Armory laid out Maclin, hanging him over the ropes in a brutal scene.

Falls Count Anywhere: Mike Santana def. Mustafa Ali
In a wild brawl packed with table spots and Cabinet interference, Santana overcame the odds. After handcuffing the Great Hands and powerbombing Tasha Steelz through a table, Santana fought off a barbed wire bat attack from Ali and ended it with a bloody, defiant Spin the Block discus lariat.

Breaking News: Indi Hartwell Signs with TNA
During the show, it was announced that former NXT standout Indi Hartwell has officially joined TNA.

TNA Knockouts Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) def. Tessa Blanchard
Slamovich wasted no time, launching a suicide dive before the bell. Blanchard focused on Masha’s injured knee and nearly stole the win with a cutter and Buzzsaw DDT, but the champion weathered the storm. A brutal avalanche Death Valley Driver set up Slamovich’s submission win via armbar, forcing Blanchard to tap out in a huge moment.

TNA World Tag Team Championship: Nic & Ryan Nemeth def. The Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff Hardy) (c)
Matt’s focus on punishing Ryan backfired. After Ryan backdropped Matt onto a chair, Nic capitalized on the chaos, low-blowing Jeff and hitting the Danger Zone. Ryan tagged in to cover Jeff for the win — crowning the Nemeth brothers the new tag champs.

TNA World Championship: Joe Hendry (c) def. Frankie Kazarian & Ethan Page
In a frantic triple threat, Hendry survived Kazarian and Page’s assaults. He took Kaz out with an Attitude Adjustment off the apron through a table, then finished Page after a series of counters, hitting the Standing Ovation to retain.

The Aftermath: Trick Williams Arrives
As Hendry celebrated, NXT’s Trick Williams made a shocking appearance, dropping the champion with a spinning kick and the Trick Shot knee. Looks like Hendry has a new threat on the horizon!
