It is time for TNA Rebellion! This show is coming off the heels of a great Unbreakable TNA+ Special. TNA champion, Joe Hendry will defend the TNA World Championship against Frankie Kazarian and Ethan Page from NXT. The champ is suffering from a rotator cuff injury so it will be interesting to see how this affects him. Masha Slamovich defends the Knockouts Championship against Tessa Blanchard, and the Hardys defend the TNA tag titles against the Nemeths. We will also see the classic Ultimate X match as Moose defends his X-Division title. But that is not all for Moose as Due to travel issues, Johnny Dango Curtis will not be available for his match with the System. Moose is going to pull double duty. So without further ado, let’s get to the action.
Pre-Show

TNA Rebellion 2025
very strong show with a great crowd. The second half the show really stood out and puts TNA in a great position. Kudos to Ali and Santana. That match was great. Trick Williams in TNA was great and really keeps intrigue going for both shows now. Overall, this was a ton of fun and a great PPV to watch on a Sunday.
