Summary

TNA has added a contract signing between Mike Santana and Eddie Edwards to the April 9 episode of iMPACT, making their TNA World Championship match at Rebellion official on television before the pay-per-view.

Rebellion is set for April 11 at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio, with Santana scheduled to defend the TNA World Championship against Edwards in the main event.

The April 9 iMPACT lineup also includes Dani Luna vs. Jada Stone, The Hardys defending the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The Righteous in a tables match, BDE vs. Frankie Kazarian, appearances by Ricky Sosa, Taryn Terrell and Mustafa Ali, plus Elayna Black vs. Myla Grace.

What This Means For Mike Santana And Eddie Edwards At Rebellion

Santana and Edwards now have one more face-to-face segment before they meet for the title on Saturday, which gives TNA a final chance to sharpen the world title feud on iMPACT. With Rebellion only two days away, the contract signing also helps frame the match as the clear centerpiece of the card.

Contract signings have been a recurring part of major wrestling TV this week, including Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar tearing into each other during WWE Raw contract signing, but TNA is using the format here to spotlight its world title match heading into one of the promotion's biggest events of the spring.
