Last Rites match added to Impact Wrestling Rebellion

A stipulation match has been added to the card for Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion pay-per-view.

Impact Wrestling has announced that Eddie Edwards and PCO will settle their rivalry in a Last Rites match at Rebellion this Sunday (April 16). A Last Rites match is Impact’s version of a cage match.

On last week’s Impact, Edwards defeated PCO after Alisha Edwards interfered and hit PCO with a kendo stick. PCO chased Eddie and Alisha out to the parking lot after the match, but they drove off before he could get to them.

For months, the intense rivalry between former Honor No More allies Eddie Edwards and PCO has sprawled across the IMPACT Zone, the parking lot and even the Las Vegas desert. After failing to bury PCO alive, Edwards recruited Kenny King to join his cause. But when King fell to PCO at Sacrifice, Edwards made a move that would shock the IMPACT faithful. During a singles bout against PCO on IMPACT!, Edwards reunited with his wife, Alisha, as she cracked PCO in the back with the couple’s signature kendo stick. But after scoring the victory, Edwards was reminded that PCO is not human as he sat up and chased them off the property. At Rebellion, it all comes down to this as Eddie Edwards and PCO settle the score once and for all in the infamous Last Rites match, where the only way to win is to put your opponent inside of a casket and close the lid.
