It's pretty cool to see a video package centred around being from Toronto! Good for Jody.

Mickie James isn't stripped of the title yet, but if she is unable to defend at Rebellion there will be a new champion. Jordynne Grace, already the #1 contender, will face the winner of the four-way taking place at Multiverse United, and if James is healthy it will be a triple threat match.

Sacrifice developments:

All the current healthy champs retained
Mickie James is recovering from a broken rib. If she's cleared by Rebellion, she defends the Knockouts title as planned in a triple threat against Jordynne Grace and the winner of a fourway at the New Japan crossover show (Gisele Shaw vs Deonna Purrazzo vs Masha Slamovich vs Miyu Yamashita); if she's not, Grace and the fourway winner fight for the vacant belt and Mickie will give the belt to the new champ personally

Impact is handling Joe Hendry perfectly. As a fan of his since ICW, he is an amazing comedy midcarder with loads of audience participation who could eventually be built up to main event matches that he can lose without losing credibility.

Lance Storm just said Alexander will be out 4-8 months, so hopefully he's back by Bound for Glory.

Multiverse United/crossover show with New Japan developments:

Champs (Trey Miguel and Bullet Club) retained
New Japan was otherwise dominant; Jeff Cobb beat Moose and Tanahashi beat Speedball in a great main event
Deonna Purrazzo fights Jordynne Grace and possibly Mickie James at Rebellion for the Knockouts title

KUSHIDA beat Lio also, but not sure which side you count him on, seeing as he's worked Impact more than NJPW since he got sick.

That dude needs to stay away from world titles, every time he wins one he gets hurt badly, same thing happened when he was AAW champ

He's been their ace for the past two years, I don't see how they COULDN'T keep him as champion as long as they did.

I was confused, went to Wikipedia to the list of champs and literally first ever champ: AJ Styles. :doh:

How the gently caress can you forget AJ Styles was in the X Division? That's like forgetting Jeff Jarrett was ever champion!

Also, Rebellion's card so far:
-Steve Maclin vs. KUSHIDA for the vacant Impact World Championship
-Bullet Club's ABC (c) vs. the Motor City Machine Guns in Ultimate X48 for the Impact World Tag Team Championship
-Trey Miguel (c) vs. "Speedball" Mike Bailey vs. Jonathan Gresham in an elimination match for the Impact X Division Championship
-Mickie James (c) (maybe) vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Deonna Purrazzo for the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
-The Coven vs. the Death Dollz for the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
-Team Bully vs. Team Dreamer in a 10-person Hardcore War
-The Design vs. Joe Hendry, Dirty Dango, and Santino Marella

Mickie's updating her status for the event by the end of next Impact. Would be nice if there weren't two title vacatings in two weeks, even if I think it's going back to Deonna either way

It's because she had to vacate the title due to injury :smith:

Some strong hexes flying around the Impact zone lately, but somehow they were able to turn it around. I guess that's what you can do when you have long-term storytelling that you can build out off.

Mickie having to relinquish the belt sucks, but is kinda quite a fitting final (?) story beat. Also we're getting '23 Deonna and Jordynne getting to continue their long-standing rivalry? Sign me the gently caress up.

I know Maclin needs to win this, but holy hell the promos (and the crowd) is really making me want to see a Kushida run.

Yeah that part sucks. She had a good little angle going there.
