Don Callis calls Omega to set up a Zoom call, but D'Amore reminds him that he and Tony Khan both agreed that Omega has to be physically here, especially now, or else Omega will be stripped of the Impact World title and indefinitely suspended from Impact and AEW.

In the ring, Scott D'Amore calls Rebellion a big night not just for Impact Wrestling, but for the wrestling industry. He congratulates Kenny Omega on winning the Impact World Championship and commends Rich Swann on his title defense. He says that this usually leads to a rematch, but it was understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and there was no rematch clause. D'Amore announces that there will be a six-way match to decide a #1 contender for the Impact World Championship at Under Siege. He then says that will assume Kenny Omega is here before tonight's show is over, or else the match will be to crown a new Impact World Championship. He says that either way, the stakes could not be higher. D'Amore commends everyone for their initiative to bring the Impact World Championship back to Impact, and in order to give everyone a chance to do so, there will be six qualifying matches to see who will be in that six-way match at Under Siege. D'Amore calls Jake Something to the ring and tells him that he knows that Something is ready to go for the World Championship, then announces that his qualifying match is against Chris Bey.
