Josh Alexander’s injury and his subsequent relinquishing of the IMPACT World Championship has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world. Fans were eagerly anticipating the championship match between Alexander and Maclin at Rebellion, but now must wait to see who will emerge as the new champion.

Fans of Impact Wrestling will be watching closely to see which wrestler will rise to the occasion and become the new champion.
The upcoming match at Rebellion promises to be an intense and exciting affair, as both Maclin and KUSHIDA are accomplished athletes in their own right. The match will definitely end up stealing the show in a big way.
