Impact's Rebellion PPV is looking to be the best PPV of the year with AEW Champion Kenny Omega vs Impact/TNA Champion Rich Swann in a title vs title match. They have been going all out for this and are bringing in ex-NXT announcer Mauro Ranallo to call this match. They also have him doing voice overs for videos.
This is how you promote a match!
It's a shame Tony Khan doesn't know how to book, because he should be promoting the hell out of this on AEW Dynamite. He makes it look like he doesn't care if Kenny Omega loses the AEW title to Rich Swann. People are all says Omega is going to easily win it, but I say that's what they all want you to think Swann has no chance.
What I hope happens is one of two things 1.) Don Callis screws Omega or 2.) Ace Austin uses Option C to insert himself into the match to in both titles. Before anybody says adding Austin compromises the match, it what already done with the inclusion of AEW official Aubrey Edwards as the match referee.
As for why it's a good idea for Austin to be added to the match, it fits his heel character as X-Division champion. He knows he's the best young talent in wrestling and if he wins he'll be the youngest Impact and AEW champion at 23. Impact has been building him up perfectly making him look strong in main event matches with him always slightly coming up short for a year. This is his time. It's inevitable!
