The fallout from an unforgettable Rebellion pay-per-view begins on an all-new IMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV and 8:30pm ET on YouTube for IMPACT Insiders.

Last Sunday, Steve Maclin scored the biggest victory of his career when he defeated KUSHIDA to become IMPACT World Champion for the very first time. With the ultimate prize finally in his possession, Maclin will hold a Changing of the Guard Ceremony this Thursday. But what does this mean for the future of IMPACT Wrestling? One thing is absolutely certain: there will be “Mayhem For All”!

In one of the most shocking moments from this past Sunday’s Rebellion event, Nick Aldis made his jaw-dropping return to IMPACT Wrestling. After setting his sights on reclaiming the IMPACT World Title, Aldis would confront new IMPACT World Champion Steve Maclin following his monumental victory. This Thursday, we will hear from Aldis once again.

Trey Miguel narrowly escaped Rebellion with his X-Division Title intact as he bested Jonathan Gresham and Mike Bailey in a 3-Way Elimination match. But now, Miguel must join forces with Gresham and Bailey in a blockbuster six-man tag this Thursday. Standing across the ring from them will be the well-oiled trio of Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA, otherwise known as Time Machine. Can Miguel, Gresham and Bailey coexist? Or will Time Machine soar to victory?

Team Dreamer may have conquered Team Bully in Rebellion’s Hardcore War but the battle is far from over. This Thursday, Yuya Uemura steps up to Moose in one of the biggest tests of his young career. Moose will surely stop at nothing to bounce back after being on the losing team at Rebellion, but Uemura has all the tools in his arsenal to pull off an upset.

Joe Hendry puts his Digital Media Title on the line this Thursday. Challenging him will be IMPACT newcomer Sheldon Jean, who has been honing his skills in a series of hard-fought matchups as of late. Winning the Digital Media Title would skyrocket Jean’s career to the next level. But in order to do so, he must topple the reigning champ, who has turned away some of professional wrestling’s most accomplished stars.

Frankie Kazarian is no stranger to overcoming the odds. But has he bitten off more than he can chew when he battles The Good Hands in a 2-on-1 Handicap match this Thursday? During Rebellion’s Hardcore War, Kazarian put John Skyler through a table with a brutal slingshot cutter. Now The Good Hands are out for revenge and with a significant numbers advantage, the odds are certainly in their favor.

The action begins Before the IMPACT, streaming this Thursday at 7:15pm ET exclusively on YouTube, IMPACT Plus and Facebook. Following their controversial loss to Champagne Singh and Shera, Heath and Rhino are determined to get back in the win column when they take on Jack Price and Shogun! Plus, Gia Miller, Josh Mathews and George Iceman get you ready for all things IMPACT.
