The next step in the belt collector angle Kenny Omega began back in December when he won the AEW World title continues Sunday as he attempts to take the Impact World title from Rich Swann in the main event of Rebellion. It s a winner-take-all affair as someone will walk away a double champion.
The match is the most high-profile the company has had in quite some time and they are pulling out all the stops, bringing in combat sports announcer Mauro Ranallo to call the match.
Rebellion will also feature several other title matches as Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo defends against Tenille Dashwood; Tag Team Champions FinJuice (David Finlay and Juice Robinson) return to defend against former champions The Good Brothers in a rematch; Knockouts Champions Fire N Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) defend against Jordynne Grace and the returning Rachael Ellering; and X-Division Champion Ace Austin defends against Josh Alexander and TJP in a three way.

Impact Wrestling kicks off their Thursday night era on AXS TV with the in-ring TV debut of AEW World Champion Kenny Omega.
As has been the case in recent weeks on Dynamite, Omega will be in trios action, teaming with The Good Brothers to take on Impact World Champion Rich Swann, Willie Mack, and Eddie Edwards. Omega and Swann will battle in a title vs. title match later this month at Rebellion.
In another trios match, Jordynne Grace, Havok, and Rosemary will face Tenille Dashwood, Alisha, and Nevaeh in a preview of this Saturday s Knockouts title no. 1 contender s weapons match at Hardcore Justice. Havok and Nevaeh just broke up their team, adding intrigue to this one.

The Good Brothers will team up with FinJuice on tonight s Impact Wrestling in what is expected to be a preview of a future Impact Tag Team title match.
They will face XXXL and Reno Scum in an eight-man tag that will headline the show. While things have been jovial between the new arrivals from New Japan Pro Wrestling (David Finlay and Juice Robinson) and the champions (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) thus far, the writing is on the wall for a title challenge at either this month s Sacrifice or April s Rebellion pay-per-view.
In another high profile match, the winner of Chris Bey vs. Black Taurus vs. Ace Austin will earn a future shot against X-Division champion TJP.
