FinJuice says they'll offer them a rematch. But they'll have to wait till April when they're done with their tours in Japan. All four men briefly brawl before FinJuice escapes out of the ring.

- Before his main event match tonight, Sami Callihan wants to reiterate that he still finds Trey Miguel's lack of passion infuriating. He is ready to pick up the win against the former Rascalz member.

- After the commercial break, The Good Brothers bust through Scott D'Amore's door. They are upset they will have to wait till April. D'Amore informs the former champions that they'll get their title match at Rebellion! Following that, Tommy Dreamer comes in with the same concerns.

Winner: Rhino

Post-Match: VBD comes in and continues their violent brawl, with them standing tall at the end.

Backstage: Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb think they have the perfect name for their team tonight: Tenille and The Followers. No one likes it. The Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo wants the team to focus on having a strategy instead of a name.

Rohit Raju vs. Shera

Rohit Raju goes straight for a blind attack as the match starts. Shera catches Raju with a punch and then a massive powerslam. Raju traps Shera in the corner and rubs his wrist tape across Shera's forehead. Raju maintains the lead with a series of boots. He, unfortunately, gets caught when grabbing Shera's arm.

Backstage: Willie Mack congratulates his friend Rich Swann for his triumphant victory on Saturday. Although he wants to party with Mack, Swann needs to go to the ring. We'll find out with Swann has to say next.

With both the TNA World Heavyweight and Impact World Championship in his hands, Rich Swann dances his way down to ring. He begins his monologue by explaining the many trials and tribulations he's faced. One of those happens to be his historic match on Saturday. He admits that at first, he was nervous to face Moose. But looking back, he's glad to be the one to make history. He is ready to give Omega the biggest loss in his career at Rebellion.

Just after saying that, Don Callis comes down to the ring. He congratulates the Unified Champion for his efforts. Callis informs Swann that he's been rooting for him since day one. But Callis turns the conversation into a downer. He weighs in on the differences between Omega and Swann. To Callis, Omega is a once in a millennium talent compared to Swann, who's just a once-in-a-decade kind of talent. He just can't see Swann being on the same level as him. He believes history will repeat itself, and Swann will take another loss as he did at Hard To Kill in January.
