The stars of IMPACT Wrestling will be Under Siege LIVE THIS FRIDAY, May 26th from the Western Fair District Agriplex in London, Ontario streaming on IMPACT Plus, YouTube for IMPACT Ultimate Insiders and FITE. Tickets are on-sale now at Eventbrite.ca.
At Rebellion, Steve Maclin defeated KUSHIDA to become IMPACT World Champion for the very first time. But during his Changing of the Guard Ceremony, Maclin revealed that his mission would not be complete until he defeated a Canadian in their home country of Canada, just like he planned to do to Josh Alexander. Maclin laid out an open challenge to any Canadian, and it was answered by perhaps the most frightening Canadian on the entire IMPACT roster, PCO. With IMPACT President Scott D’Amore backing him up, Perfect Creation One demolished Maclin’s personal security force, sending a threatening message to the new IMPACT World Champion. Now Maclin and PCO are set to collide at Under Siege in a monstrous main event. What will happen when these two explosive forces go head-to-head with the IMPACT World Title on the line? We now know that following Maclin’s violent assault on Rhino that sent the “War Machine” to the hospital, the IMPACT World Title match between Steve Maclin and PCO will be contested under No Disqualification rules.
In the main event of this year’s Rebellion, Deonna Purrazzo and Jordynne Grace tore the house down to determine who would capture the vacant Knockouts World Title. After a grueling back and forth contest, Purrazzo reigned supreme to usher in the new Age of the Virtuosa. But less than two weeks later on IMPACT!, Purrazzo found herself on the receiving end of a beatdown from the reigning Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, The Coven. That was, until Jordynne Grace came to her aid and helped Purrazzo clear the ring of her adversaries. After a tremendous show of respect between the two rivals, Grace made it apparent that she wanted another shot at the gold. We now know that management has granted her the rematch at Under Siege but this time, the stakes are higher than ever – if Grace loses, she will no longer be eligible for another Knockouts World Title opportunity as long as Purrazzo is champion.
Following her monumental arrival just a few weeks ago, Trinity defeated Knockouts World Tag Team Champion KiLynn King in her IMPACT in-ring debut. With an open contract for a match at Under Siege, her next opponent remained a mystery – until now. Recently on IMPACT!, Trinity was confronted by Jai Vidal who answered the challenge on behalf of Gisele Shaw. “The Quintessential Diva” was furious with Vidal after he snapped a selfie with Trinity and posted it on social media. But Trinity fired back, stating that if Shaw has a problem with her, they can settle it in the ring. Shaw will be looking to make a statement upon returning from injury. But does she have what it takes to extinguish Trinity’s momentum?
After making his surprise return at Rebellion, Nick Aldis revealed that his primary goal was to recapture the IMPACT World Title. During a backstage interview, Kenny King accused Aldis of jumping the line but in fact, that is the complete opposite of what he intends to do. Aldis made it clear that he doesn’t want an IMPACT World Title opportunity handed to him, he wants to earn it. Following a triumphant in-ring return over Sheldon Jean, Aldis must turn his attention towards Under Siege where he will go one-on-one with King. Will Aldis move one step closer towards his highly-sought after IMPACT World Title opportunity? Or will King bring his quest to a screeching halt?
Under Siege will play host to a high-stakes showdown as six of IMPACT Wrestling’s top stars vie for a coveted IMPACT World Title opportunity. Moose, Eddie Edwards, Jonathan Gresham, Yuya Uemura, Frankie Kazarian and Alex Shelley will walk into London, Ontario with the same goal in mind – but only one can achieve it. While Moose and Eddie Edwards know what it’s like to be IMPACT World Champion, Gresham, Uemura, Kazarian and Shelley are all looking for their first reign with the promotion’s top prize. With the competition as fierce as ever, it’s anyone’s game at Under Siege.
Trey Miguel narrowly escaped Rebellion with his X-Division Title intact when he bested Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham in a breathtaking 3-way bout. But just days later on IMPACT!, Miguel was pinned by Chris Sabin in six-man tag team action, which saw him join forces with Bailey and Gresham in a losing effort to Time Machine. With Miguel and Sabin on a collision course, we now know where they will meet with the X-Division Title on the line: Under Siege in London, Ontario. The brash Miguel has proven that he’s willing to do anything to remain X-Division Champion. But can he get the job done against an X-Division pioneer and the man who has held the title for a record-setting 8 times?
In a shocking turn of events, former IMPACT star Mark Andrews is set to make his long-awaited return at Under Siege as he teams with Morgan Webster to challenge ABC for the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles. Alongside Dani Luna, Andrews and Webster are known around the world as SUBCULTURE and have taken the UK wrestling scene by storm. On the other hand, Ace Austin and Chris Bey have been on quite the roll since dethroning the Motor City Machine Guns to become IMPACT World Tag Team Champions. Now these two teams are on a collision course for what will certainly be an edge-of-your-seat showdown. Who will leave London, Ontario with the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles? Find out at Under Siege.
Despite the doubts of Angels and Kon, Sami Callihan‘s betrayal of The Design was something that Deaner never saw coming. When Callihan assaulted the group’s leader with his signature baseball bat, the grueling initiation process that he endured suddenly became worth it. But recently on IMPACT!, Callihan fell victim to the numbers game and came to the realization that if he wants to take out The Design for good, he’s going to need some backup. We now know that at Under Siege, The Design will face off against Sami Callihan and two partners of his choosing in a six-man tag team grudge match – that is, if he can find anyone who is willing to join his cause. Callihan has succeeded in finding at least one partner for Under Siege, as he reunites with longtime friend – and enemy – Rich Swann.
Before Under Siege gets underway on May 26th, the action begins on Countdown to Under Siege LIVE and FREE at 7:30pm ET on IMPACT Plus, YouTube and FITE. Preview the night’s big event and witness exclusive matchups you won’t see anywhere else!
A few weeks ago on IMPACT!, Santino Marella was brutally assaulted by an unknown assailant, which led to him being sent home by IMPACT’s head physician, Dr. Ross. An investigation into who attacked the Director of Authority was launched by Dirty Dango, who enlisted the help of Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry. But in a shocking turn of events, Dango was revealed as the attacker as he laid out the champ backstage. Now that Dango has shown his true colors, he’s set to challenge Hendry for the Digital Media Title on Countdown to Under Siege. Will Hendry gain a measure revenge in honor of Santino Marella? Or will a new Digital Media Champion be crowned in London?
While Rosemary traversed the Undead Realm in search of the missing Death Doll, Jessicka found herself on the receiving end of a two-on-one assault from the reigning Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, The Coven. But when the hourglass emptied, Rosemary never returned. Instead, Courtney Rush emerged from the Undead Realm and came to the aid of Jessicka as the two cleared the ring of Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King. Now Jessicka and Courtney Rush are out to finish the job as they battle The Coven on Countdown to Under Siege!
For those LIVE in attendance, don’t miss a series of special Meet & Greets:

LIVE TONIGHT at 8pm ET, IMPACT Wrestling returns to the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto for its spring pay-per-view extravaganza, Rebellion! Tickets for this event are SOLD OUT.
Following a triceps tear that will force Josh Alexander to relinquish the IMPACT World Title, a new champion will be crowned at Rebellion. Alexander’s two scheduled challengers, Steve Maclin and KUSHIDA, will now face off in a match to determine the new title-holder. Maclin and KUSHIDA were on opposite sides of a star-studded six-man tag team match at Sacrifice, which saw KUSHIDA submit him with the Hoverboard Lock. This came just 24 hours after Maclin revealed his obsession with becoming IMPACT World Champion as he scouted Alexander from the shadows. But now, Maclin must prepare for a new opponent, and one that seems to have his number. One this is for certain, we are guaranteed to have a new IMPACT World Champion in Toronto. Will it be Steve Maclin or KUSHIDA who leaves Toronto with the gold around their waist?
Following an injury to Mickie James that would prevent her from defending the Knockouts World Title, we learned that the current #1 Contender Jordynne Grace would face the winner of a four-way match to crown a new champion at Rebellion. The stars were out at Multiverse United as Deonna Purrazzo conquered Masha Slamovich, Gisele Shaw and Miyu Yamashita to punch her ticket to Toronto. Grace and Purrazzo are no strangers to one another, as the two were involved in one of the Knockouts division’s most acclaimed rivalries of 2020. In fact, Purrazzo defeated Grace to become Knockouts World Champion for the very first time at that year’s Slammiversary event. With Purrazzo and Grace set to renew hostilities at Rebellion, the question on the minds of wrestling fans around the world is, who will leave Toronto as the Knockouts World Champion?
Rebellion will play host to the return of Hardcore War as Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer lead their respective teams into battle. At Sacrifice, the archrivals went head-to-head in the first-ever Busted Open match, which saw Bully bend the rules in order to achieve victory. But what happened after the bell would shock the wrestling world to its core. IMPACT President Scott D’Amore made his return after being brutally attacked by Bully back in January. D’Amore would join forces with Dreamer and other members of the IMPACT locker room to push back against Bully and his minions, capping it off with a jaw-dropping Canadian Destroyer to Jason Hotch. In an attempt to settle their differences once and for all, both Bully and Dreamer must now recruit a team for Hardcore War, a match in which there are no disqualifications, no countouts and absolutely anything goes. We now know that Team Bully will consist of Bully Ray, Kenny King, Moose, Brian Myers and Masha Slamovich. Joining Team Dreamer will be Tommy Dreamer Yuya Uemura, Frankie Kazarian, Bhupinder Gujjar and Killer Kelly.
The IMPACT World Tag Team Titles will be hanging in the balance – literally – when ABC defends against the Motor City Machine Guns in the return of Ultimate X. The high-wire spectacle is back for the first time in 2023, as Ace Austin, Chris Bey, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin continue their epic saga. Ever since being dethroned by ABC earlier this year in Las Vegas, the Guns have made it their mission to reclaim their spot at the top of the division. Following their victory over TMDK on IMPACT!, the Guns laid out the challenge and the match was made official. Who will risk it all for the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles? Find out in the nonstop adrenaline rush that is Ultimate X.
For the past several months, Callihan has endured a grueling initiation process to join the The Design. Recently on IMPACT!, the group’s leader, Deaner, informed Callihan that step 7 would require him to eliminate the authority in his life. Later that same night, Director of Authority Santino Marella was brutally assaulted backstage, presumably by Callihan. Following a meeting involving Marella, Dirty Dango and IMPACT President Scott D’Amore, Marella announced that he would compete in a match for the first-time in over 9 years as he teams with Dango and Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry to battle The Design. With revenge on the mind of Marella, there’s no telling what might happen in this heated six-man tag team match.
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.
The rubber match between Jonathan Gresham and Mike Bailey was set to determine the #1 Contender for the X-Division Title – that is until reigning champion Trey Miguel took them both out with a springboard dropkick, bringing an abrupt halt to the bout. Later in the night, Miguel was informed that due to his actions, he must now defend the X-Division Title against both Gresham and Bailey in a 3-Way Elimination match at Rebellion. Will the cocky and brash Miguel finally get what’s coming to him when he has not one but two challengers gunning for his title? And if so, will it be Bailey or Gresham who captures the X-Division’s most coveted prize?
The action begins on Countdown to Rebellion LIVE and FREE TONIGHT at 7:30pm ET on YouTube and IMPACT Plus. Preview the night’s big event and witness exclusive matchups you won’t see anywhere else!
Last month, The Coven shocked the world when they defeated the Death Dollz to become Knockouts World Tag Team Champions in their first match as a duo. But at Sacrifice, Rosemary gained a measure of revenge as she bested KiLynn King in singles competition. Now the Death Dollz are set to receive their contractually-obligated rematch on Countdown to Rebellion with the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles on the line. Will the dealers of dark magic remain at the top of the mountain? Or will the Death Dollz bring an end to their reign before it even gets started?
Every win matters in IMPACT Wrestling’s stacked tag team division. Two devastating duos will collide when Champagne Singh and Shera battle Heath and Rhino on Countdown to Rebellion. The last time these teams met, Heath and Rhino scored the victory following a vicious Gore to Shera. Will lightning strike twice for Heath and Rhino? Or will Singh and Shera even the score?

The Final Decision on Mickie James’ Status for Rebellion
The fans have filed out of the IMPACT Zone as Knockouts World Champion Mickie James stands alone in the middle of the ring. James has requested that the arena be empty because she could not deliver this address in front of the same fans who supported her throughout the entirety of her Last Rodeo. James says that as a veteran performer, she is constantly reminded of the age difference between her and the rest of the locker room. While James has come to terms with this, one thing she can’t ignore is the pain that she endures. James says she must do what is right for the Knockouts World Championship and for the Knockouts locker room. James reveals that after speaking with her doctor, she is not cleared to compete this Sunday at Rebellion. James addresses Deonna Purrazzo and Jordynne Grace, stating that it is their time now.
