Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Rebellion is a professional wrestling event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It is annually held during the month of April, and the event was first held in 2019.[1] On December 4, 2024, TNA announced Rebellion would take place on April 27, 2025, at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California.[2]

Storylines

[edit]

The event will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]

Before the March 27 episode of TNA Impact! went on air, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC, and TNA X Division Champion Moose) came to the ring for a promo. There, Edwards lambasted his teammates for what he perceived to be poor performances at Sacrifice. In particular, he singled out Moose for his title defense in a ladder match against Jeff Hardy, calling out for being afraid of heights.[4] As such, Edwards told Moose he needed to "face his fears" by announcing he would defend the X Division Championship at Rebellion in an Ultimate X match.[5]

At Sacrifice, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry, TNA World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy, Elijah, Leon Slater, and Nic Nemeth defeated The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, and JDC) and The Colóns (Primo Colón and Epico Colón) in a 10-man tag team steel cage match. However, after the match, Nic and his brother Ryan Nemeth, locked themselves in the cage with Hardy, proceeding to beat him down and cut his head open while preventing their teammates from stopping them.[6][7] The Nemeths would explain their actions on the subsequent episode of TNA Impact!, claiming that Matt and his brother Jeff were taking all the credit for TNA's recent resurgence rather than Nic. They'd go on to proclaim that they are the best brother tag team in wrestling history.[8][9] The following week, Nic defeated Slater in a singles match before he and Ryan concocted a post-match beatdown. The Hardys would run out to save Slater where'd they put a challenge out to The Nemeths for a TNA World Tag Team Championship match at Rebellion.[10][11] TNA would make the match official later that night.[12]

After making her TNA return at Final Resolution, Tessa Blanchard vowed to retake what she called "her" Knockouts division. On the February 20 episode of TNA Impact!, Blanchard would have her first interaction with TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich, who took her place in a match after Blanchard refused to compete.[13][14] On the TNA Impact!, following Sacrifice, Blanchard confronted Slamovich at the beginning of the show, letting her know that she would be targeting her title.[8][9] The following week, Slamovich defeated NXT's Jacy Jayne in a non-title match with Blanchard banned from ringside. However, immediately following the match, Blnachard and Jayne attacked Slamovich before being run off by Xia Brookside and Léi Ying Lee.[10][11] The week after, Blanchard teamed with Fatal Influence (Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx) to defeat Slamovich, Brookside, and Lee in a six-woman tag team match, with Blanchard pinning Slamovich to earn the victory.[15][16] Later that night, TNA announced that Slamovich would defend the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Blanchard at Rebellion.[17]

At Bound for Glory on October 26, 2024, Frankie Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, earning a championship match of his choosing at any time for one calendar year. Later that night, Kazarian served as the special guest referee for the TNA World Championship match between champion Nic Nemeth and Joe Hendry. Kazarian attempted to invoke his championship opportunity during the match to no avail.[18][19] Over the next few months, Kazarian continued to feud with Hendry and made several unsuccessful attempts to call his shot, most notably at Genesis where Hendry defeated Nemeth to win the title.[20][21] On the April 3 episode of TNA Impact!, Kazarian attacked Hendry and injured his arm (kayfabe). Hendry was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital. Later that night, Kazarian declared that he would be calling his shot for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion in his home state of California. However, NXT's Ethan Page made a surprise return to TNA and declared that after speaking with TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella, he would be challenging Hendry for the title at Rebellion. Kazarian and Page subsequently brawled, with Page getting the upper hand.[15][16] Later that night, TNA announced that Hendry would defend the TNA World Championship against both Kazarian and Page in a three-way match at Rebellion.[22]
