Rebellion is aprofessional wrestling pay-per-view event produced byTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling , which is annually held during the month of April. The event was first held in 2019, and it has since become one of the promotion's "Big Four" events (along withHard to Kill ,Slammiversary , andBound for Glory ).[ 1]
The inaugural Rebellion event took place on April 28, 2019 atThe Rebel Complex inToronto , Ontario, Canada and did 2,200 buys.[ 2] Eightprofessional wrestling matches were contested at the event.[ 3] Themain event was aFull Metal Mayhem match for theImpact World Tag Team Championship , in whichThe Lucha Brothers (Pentagón Jr. andFénix ) defended the titles againstThe Latin American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz ).

The undercard also notably sawBrian Cage defeatJohnny Impact to capture his firstImpact World Championship ,Michael Elgin 's Impact debut by attacking Cage after the match[ 5] [ 6] andTessa Blanchard defeatingGail Kim in what would be Kim's retirement match, which was considered Kim's "passing of the torch" to Blanchard and also marked the beginning of Blanchard's rise as the company's most popular wrestler and her gradual rise tomain event status.[ 7]
On January 13, 2020, Impact Wrestling announced on itsTwitter account that it would be holding a second Rebellion event in April atTerminal 5 inNew York, New York .[ 8] It was later announced that the event would take place on April 19.[ 9] Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic , however, the event was rescheduled and taped on a closed set at Skyway Studios inNashville, Tennessee between April 8 and 10.[ 10] [ 11] It aired ontape delay as a two-part special episode ofImpact! on April 21 and 28.[ 12]
