Three title matches announced for Impact Rebellion


Three new title matches and the Impact in-ring debut of Santino Marella were announced for next Sunday’s Impact Rebellion pay-per-view.
After a no. 1 contender’s match between “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham went to a no contest Thursday thanks to Trey Miguel’s interference, it was announced that Miguel will defend his X-Division title against both men in a three-way elimination match.
The Impact Tag Team titles will be on the line as Bullet Club’s Chris Bey & Ace Austin will defend against the Motor City Machine Guns in an Ultimate X match following a challenge from Chris Sabin Thursday.
After The Design attacked Marella (Impact’s Director of Authority), Marella made a match where he will team with Dirty Dango and Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry against Deaner’s squad at the PPV.
In a rematch, The Coven will defend their Knockouts Tag Team titles for the first time against former champions The Death Dollz (Rosemary & Jessicka).
The teams for the Hardcore War between Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer were also revealed as Killer Kelly, Yuya Uemura and Frankie Kazarian will join Dreamer with one spot remaining while Jason Hotch, John Skyler, Masha Slamovich & Kenny King are with Ray.
