Last month, Tessa beat Taya at Bound for Glory in New York City to retain her title. Tensions building up the past few weeks resulted in a rematch.
Cage received an opportunity at the World Title by cashing in his title for the match, commonly known as "Option C."
Austin Aries was the first to utilize "Option C" back in 2012, winning the Impact World Title from Bobby Roode. In its history, the challenger is 2-3 when "Option C" is used.
Impact Homecoming takes place on January 6 in Nashville, Tennessee inside The Asylum.
