The 2024 Rebellion is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It will take place on April 20, 2024, at the Palms Casino Resort in Paradise, Nevada. It will be the sixth event under the Rebellion chronology.

Production

Background

Rebellion is a professional wrestling event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It is annually held during the month of April, and the event was first held in 2019.[1] On February 8, 2024, TNA announced Rebellion would take place in on April 20, 2024, at the Palms Casino Resort in Paradise, Nevada.[2][3]

Storylines

The event will feature several professional wrestling matches, which involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on the company's weekly programs, Impact! and Xplosion.[4]

At Hard To Kill, Moose defeated Alex Shelley to win the TNA World Championship. However, as he and his stablemates in The System (Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, and DeAngelo Williams) were set to celebrate, they were interrupted by the debuting Nic Nemeth (formerly Dolph Ziggler in WWE), who immediately attacked Moose.[5][6] On the subsequent episode of TNA Impact!, Nemeth made his intentions clear about becoming the next TNA World Champion.[7][8] Two months later on the March 14 episode, after Nemeth and Speedball Mountain (Mike Bailey and Trent Seven) defeated Steve Maclin and The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz), The System attacked and laid out the former three.[9][10] Immediately following this, TNA announced that Nemeth would challenge Moose for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion, with Speedball Mountain also challenging Myers and Edwards for the TNA World Tag Team Championship.[11][12]

On the March 21 episode of TNA Impact!, Jake Something won a "Rebellion Referendum" six-way match to earn a TNA X Division Championship opportunity against Mustafa Ali at Rebellion.[13][14][15]

Eric Young and Frankie Kazarian had been embroiled in a rivalry ever since the January 18 TNA Impact!, when the latter attacked the former after losing a tag team match.[7][8] Kazarian vowed to make 2024 "his year", win the TNA World Championship and be forever remembered as a "king" of TNA, much like he perceives Young to be. The two would eventually have a singles match at No Surrender, with the winner earning a TNA World Title match at Sacrifice. Young would end up winning the match, with Kazarian later attacking the referee in anger.[16][17] TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella would suspend Kazarian for his actions. Kazarian, however, continued to target Young, costing him his world title match against Moose at Sacrifice. Two weeks later on the March 21 TNA Impact!, Young conducted a promo on the entrance ramp, calling out Kazarian for a Full Metal Mayhem match at Rebellion.[13][14] TNA would make the match official later via their website.[18]

On the March 28 TNA Impact!, Steph De Lander returned to TNA and, with help from an also returning Matt Cardona, won an 8-4-1 match to become number one contender to Jordynne Grace's TNA Knockouts World Championship at Rebellion.[19][20][21]
