At Impact United We Stand, Josh Matthews revealed that Johnny Impact would not be competing in the 4-on-4 Impact vs Lucha Underground match. He refused to team with any of his teammates (Brian Cage, Moose, Eddie Edwards) and would instead compete in his first ever Ultimate X match hoping to earn a shot at the X-Division Championship.
A vignette played of Impact Wrestling's recent signing, the Walking Weapon Himself, Josh Alexander. Alexander was recently announced as a new member of the roster, and it looks like he'll be making his debut very soon.

Tessa Blanchard was backstage with Melissa Santos, who said that Gail Kim stated last week she would do what needed to be done. Blanchard said that's what she should do. She said that Kim deserved everything that's happening to her for costing her the Knockouts Championship all those months ago against Taya Valkyrie. Blanchard then stormed the ring looking to get her apology from Kim.
Last week, we saw an unknown knockout going for a jog, getting ready for competition. This week, it was revealed that it was none other than the former 5-time Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne. Rayne looked to reclaim her throne.
The Lucha Bros didn't take long to consider Konnan's challenge, as they officially accepted LAX's terms. The Tag Titles would be on the line at Impact Rebellion in Full Metal Mayhem.
Blanchard demanded that Kim make her way to the ring. Kim walked out while Josh Matthews ran down the history between these two, going all the way back to Impact Wrestling Homecoming where the special guest referee Gail Kim caused Tessa Blanchard to lose the Knockouts Championship to Taya Valkyrie.
Blanchard told Kim to apologize for everything that's happened over the past few months. Kim said that she was coming out to do what she had to do and that she was sorry. Kim said she was sorry for attacking her. Blanchard continued to get in her face, demanding that she apologize for costing her the championship.
After Kim did so, Blanchard demanded she announce her resignation from Impact. Kim revealed that she'd given her resignation to the company earlier in the day. Blanchard looked to bury the hatchet, but then made fun of Kim and everyone in her era for being known for bra and panty matches. She finished off by saying that Kim couldn't cut it in this era, and couldn't even lace her boots.
Kim stopped Blanchard's celebration, though, revealing that she turned in her resignation so she could come out of retirement and kick her a**. Blanchard was beaten down by the Impact Wrestling Hall of Famer and eventually backed up the ramp with her tail between her legs.
Later in the night, it was announced that Tessa Blanchard will take on Gail Kim at Impact Wrestling Rebellion.
