Rebellion 2026 - The LIVE Results



The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) shows up during the countdown, with Biran Myers calling Cleveland, Ohio "the mistake on the lake." He tells the fans to take a snapshot of their ticket stubs, as it will be the end of The Hardys' (Jeff and Matt Hardy) tag team title reign. Bear Bronson asks the fans if it makes them mad, and proclaims that when they are done with The Hardys, there will be nothing left but the memories. Cedric Alexander mentions Leon Slater being on his way to becoming the longest-reigning X-Division Champion of all time, then declares that he will become the new X-Division Champion tonight. Eddie states that The System is where the power lies and that The System run TNA, and that he will take the TNA World Championship for a third time and deliver it to The System where it belongs. He says the fans will not want to miss this, because if they do, they will miss the moment where TNA changes and Mike Santana learns that you cannot beat The System.

"The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth heads to the ring. He talks about how he was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and mentions that his parents are at ringside tonight, then states that while "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth was his father's favorite of the two, his mother came to everything he ever did. He also mentioning his father raising him and Nic to be Cleveland Browns fans, then talks about how he took advice from his good friend Art Modell and got out of Cleveland. He then removes his pants in one quick motion to reveal that he is a Pittsburgh Steelers fans, then mentions that the ring announcer is stupid for marrying someone from Cleveland before introducing BDE as his opponent and as being from "somewhere in Ohio." Ryan says he has more to say, but BDE attacks him before he can say it, starting the next match.

TNA President Carlos Silva shows up on the countdown panel during the countdown and gets booed by the crowd.

The cast of "Love is Blind Ohio" is seen in the front row.

Before the next match, AJ Francis talks about his shoes and how they remind him of how he is "the LeBron James of professional wrestling" and that the fans will not understand because they are losers.

EC3 clotheslines Eric Young out of the ring, then proclaims that he is back and challenges Eric Young to a match next Thursday.

Meanwhile, Victoria Crawford is screaming as she runs through the corridors of the Undead Realm, and Tessa Blanchard is not liking anything that she is seeing as she explores. Father James Mitchell says that he owes Abyss an apology after everything that has happened, but Abyss says there is no need to apologize, as without him, there is no Abyss, as he provided a family, shelter and guidance when he had none. Abyss reminisces about their dominance and how he won his first TNA World Heavyweight Championship, saying that he will never forget and the many battles that he had with Sting, AJ Styles and even Sabu. Father James Mitchell tells Abyss that he made his dreams of being a mad scientist come true and gave him the best years of his life. Abyss calls Father James Mitchell his guidance, his hope and his father, and says he gave him life and they dominated TNA. He says that while the history books will show that, they will never show how much he loves Father James Mitchell. Abyss then says he must leave, then they do the "Click! Doomsday!" thing before Abyss laughs and teleports away. We then see Rosemary and the words "To Be Continued."



The System (Brian Myers and Bear Bronson) beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) to become the TNA World Tag Team Champions after Brian Myers sends Jeff Hardy's injured left arm into the top rope to stop him from hitting the Swanton Bomb.

Flammer shows up and heads to the ring, then we see a video package of Flammer's reign as AAA Reina de Reinas Champion while former Reina de Reinas Champions and numerous Mexican television personalities praise Flammer. Flammer says she would like to say her feet are flat on the ground after all that has happened, but Earth does not deserve her, much less the fans. Flammer thanks all the people that a took a minute to congratulate her on TV, even though she does not recognize any of them, but they know her, and that is what matters. She also wants to thanks all the "good-for-nothing" women that she beat during the last 973 days as well as all the foreigners that came from Raw and SmackDown to face her, and most importantly, she would love to thank all the Mexican women that she has humiliated, stepped on and destroyed. Flammer says she has demonstrated she is what she is and she is who she is, but she wonders where this leads her. She says this leads her here, as the best luchadora in Mexican lucha libre. Flammer states that she has beaten all of her opponents and that she is undeniable and untouchable, then proclaims that this coronation will never end. Suddenly, the lights go out, then La Catalina, fresh out of CMLL, appears in AAA. La Catalina congratulates Flammer, then says that she knows all three women in the ring and tells them that she hopes they enjoy their party, then reminds Flammer that she has never faced her. La Hiedra and Maravilla go after La Catalina only to get laid out, and Flammer's attempt at a cheap shot fails. La Catalina shoves Flammer's face in the nearby cake, then throws her into the easels carrying the photos of Flammer in the back. She then hits Flammer with a hip attack as Flammer is blinded by the cake and caught in the ropes before raising up the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.

El Grande Americano I gouges the eyes before kicking El Grande Americano II in the groin, then attacks him behind the Spanish announce table before security shows up to separate both men and force them to the back.

Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo. During the match, El Grande Americano I and El Grande Americano II's brawl makes its way halfway down the ramp before being forced backstage again by security, and this distracts El Hijo del Vikingo, allowing Penta to hit him with a tope con hilo. Penta then hits the Penta Driver back in the ring, but Vikingo kicks out. Afterwards, Dorian Roldan grabs at Penta's ankle and trips him, and the referee ejects Dorian Roldan. This allows Vikingo to grab the Intercontinental Championship, but Mini Vikingo stops him from using the title as a weapon and inadvertently hits him with it, allowing Penta to hit a springboard Mexican Destroy to win and retain. Aferwards, El Grande Americano I and El Grande Americano II's brawl re-emerges in the crowd. Once again, security has to keep both men away from each other, and El Grande Americano II grabs the microphone to say that this over and that El Grande Americano I has crossed the line with him and the fans, and that this must be settled eye for eye, tooth for tooth and blood for blood.

Russo says he has worked with a lot of great Memphis wrestlers - the Jarretts, Jimmy Hart, Jerry "The King" Lawler - but there was one person who made Memphis Wrestling: Andy Kaufman, who he calls the greatest wrestler in Memphis Wrestling history. He says that Andy Kaufman was right about the fans before Matchmaker King Cobra shows up and refuses to let Russo run Memphis Wrestling and the fans down, and that they can settle things in the ring. He tells Vince Russo to pick two people from Juggalo Championship Wrestling and he will pick two people from Memphis Wrestling for a tag team match. Vince Russo takes exception to Matchmaker King Cobra not personally introducing himself and says he is from New York City, not a hick town like Memphis, Tennessee, and while Cobra has a reputation in Memphis, he would not last five minutes in New York City. Russo raises the stakes and makes it a six-man tag match with Caleb Konley on his team, and promises Cobra will get "a New York ass-whipping."

General Manager Nick Aldis is in the ring. Aldis addresses Randy Orton hitting him with an RKO last week, and says he has been instructed to maintain his professionalism. He says he will do that before inviting Orton to the ring. Orton heads to the ring and says Aldis has taken last week very personally, and reminds him about how he hit him with an RKO last year and paid double on the fine. Orton tells Aldis that they are even, then says this year will be his 20th WrestleMania and that he needs an opponent no matter what it takes, and proposes that Aldis take the suit off and face him. Aldis says he does not need Orton's money; instead, he needs his respect. Orton tells Aldis he earned his respect a long time ago, but tells him he cannot apologize to his wife Mickie James if he does not get his match. Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga show up, and Solo says nobody cares and that it is over for Orton because Orton is in the past, and next week, LA Knight will end up in the same boat as him when Jacob Fatu wins the United States Championship. Orton admits he finds it funny that Solo and Tama had the balls to interrupt him when he is trying to be diplomatic about business, and now the voices are telling him to beat up Solo and Tama. Solo and Tama approach from different ends, but Orton fends them off. The numbers game soon catches up to Orton, but LA Knight shows up and fights alongside Orton. Orton and Knight soon clean house, and Knight says he hopes that Jacob Fatu is watching because he took his name out of Solo and Tama's mouths and put his fist in them instead.

Damian Priest heads to the ring, but he is attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre on the way. Officials have to get McIntyre away from Priest as Priest is helped to the back. McIntyre says it is plain as day that he only tells the truth and that every action is justified, "including dropping [Priest's] stupid ass." He says Priest benefited every time he has screwed and that he never wanted to face him like a man until he had one eye, and that he accept Priest's challenge because that is the kind of man that he is. McIntyre then says nobody will forget Priest after he gives him the beating of a lifetime at WrestleMania, then reveals his right eye is okay and that he is 100% medically cleared, which means that Priest is "100% screwed" at WrestleMania. Priest comes back and levels security on the way to the ring so he can brawl with McIntyre, but McIntyre goes right for Priest's eyes before hitting Priest with the ring steps. McIntyre grabs Priest and hits him with a Future Shock DDT on the steps, then rips the cross necklace off of Priest's neck.

He calls the Undisputed WWE Championship proof that one is the best wrestler in the world and says that he is blessed to carry the title, but he will not always be the champion. He says that while this is also about the next twenty champions, wherever they may come from, John Cena wants to take it away. Cody says John Cena has neglected to make Seattle, Washington part of his farewell tour and is in Las Vegas, Nevada for next week, then addresses Cena's comment of his neck tattoo making him "a common fan." Cody says he has the tattoo because he wants to be somebody, just like some of the past WWE Champions before him, and that he knows who he is. He says that he is the WWE Champion, and Cena is not. He says that Cena is always teaching and preaching, but Cody says that the fans are allowed to love somebody else, especially when he is part of a roster full of people who make each other better. Cody says that he has to halt history and keep Cena from winning the championship in order to have history in WWE in the first place, and tells Cena that he does his best work when backed into a corner. He says the bell is going to ring, and when it does and it is over, he will leave Cena his moment in the ring to say goodbye, as while Cena's time has been up for some time, it is his time, he is timeless, and the WWE Championship "stays with us."



Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford).

Security has to restore order, and Tommy Dreamer also shows up to calm Alexander down. Tommy Dreamer tells Josh Alexander to head to the back, as he has something to say to Hammerstone personally and Alexander has Hammerstone at Rebellion. Dreamer says that Alexander is the face of TNA because he has worked hard to do it, and also says that he is a big reason that Hammerstone is in TNA, as he feels Hammerstone is everything that Alexander is. He says that Alexander and Hammerstone gave it everything they had, and that Hammerstone had to take a shortcut despite his talent. He tells Hammerstone that the TNA crowd is the most honest he will ever work in front of, and tells him not to take his path when he has such a good legacy. Dreamer says that tonight will be one hell of a show before thanking Hammerstone for being part of the next generation of performers in TNA.

De Lander is brought out first alongside Matt Cardona, followed by Jordynne Grace. Matt Cardona grabs the microphone and puts Steph de Lander on the pedestal before proclaiming that Steph de Lander, who signs the contact, will be the new Knockouts World Champion. Jordynne says she appreciates Cardona and De Lander for being here and being confident enough to think they can take something she has worked so hard for, and that she has earned every accolade that she has gotten in TNA. After Jordynne asks if Cardona will be doing all the talking when Cardona brings up beating her for the Digital Media title, De Lander says she has so many accolades that she has no time to list them all. She also says that when TNA called for the recent 8-4-1 Match, she took that call, then proclaims that Jordynne Grace has been distracted as of late and questions if her head is in the game and if her focus is to keep the Knockouts World Championship. Jordynne says representing TNA has always been her top priority and that she defends against every challenger, including De Lander, and that she wears so many hats as she prides herself in outworking everyone. She says she will outwork Steph de Lander to keep her title and her legacy in TNA because she has already beaten both De Lander and Cardona as well as Chelsea Green and she is more than happy to do it again, because "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" When Cardona takes offense to Jordynne calling De Lander a bitch, Jordynne says the "bitch" comment was directed towards him. Jordynne signs the contract, and when De Lander shakes her hand, Jordynne refuses to let go of her hand, and this leads to a brawl in which Santino is inadvertently knocked out when Jordynne back elbows Cardona into him. This leads to Cardona and De Lander double-teaming Jordynne before De Lander choke slams Jordynne through a table.

Santino likes the idea and puts The System in a tag team match with The Motor City Machine Guns, with Speedball Mountain facing the winners at Rebellion. After The System and Speedball Mountain leave, Decay (Rosemary and Havok) show up to use their Knockouts Tag title rematch clause at Rebellion, which Santino allows.

Jake Something beats James Drake after Cody Deaner shows up and takes out Zack Gibson on the outside. After the match, Mustafa Ali shows up with protestors, saying that Jake Something does not belong in the X Division and that the X Division needs limits, as he is "outside of the weight limits." Mustafa leads a "No To Jake" chant, and that leads to Jake diving onto all of the protestors before grabbing Mustafa, throwing him into the ring and nearly powerbombing him before The Grizzled Young Vets (Gibson and Drake) butt in and hit Grit Your Teeth. Cody Deaner goes after the Vets, but he gets overpowered, and The Grizzled Young Vets hold Jake Something down so that Mustafa can blast him with the X Division title.

Lashley demands an explanation for MVP, and MVP says Omos is waiting until the time and money are right and Lashley should be putting respect in his name.
