Impact Wrestling 4/22/2021
Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/impact-wrestling-4152021.html
Rebellion with Kenny Omega vs Rich Swann is this Sunday and is the main focus here.
The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) vs. Decay (Black Taurus & Crazzy Steve) w/ Rosemary
BT powerslams Karl early then Steve headscissors Taurus to splash Karl. Doc gets in and takes out BT with a big high kick then combo's him in the corner with punches. BT is controlled for a bit by both opponents seperately. He gets whipped into the buckles and runs up them and hits a twisting dive on Doc.
Steve hits some fast offense on Karl then hits a basement flatliner on him. Doc breaks up a pin attempt then BT comes in and gets tossed over the top rope by him. Steve lariats Karl over the top then Steve is caught with the magic killer and pinned. This was a short match here and I don't get why BT is doing jobs every week.
Karl Anderson cuts a promo on FinnJuice. He said last year was a good year for them and they got too comfortable and too cocky. Karl thanks FinnJuice for waking them up and said they winning back the tag titles is all that matters. Doc says similar sentiments and said thanks for bringing the flame back. He said they will win it back at Rebellion.

Susan with Deonna Purrazzo vs Tenille Dashwood with Kaleb
Tenille headscissors her to start and gives her a noogie. Deonna trips Tenille and we go to break. We return with Susan in control. Susan tries to take a pic of Tenille, but the phone is swatted away and they argue. They trade forearms and Tenille tries to double underhook her into the buckles but she just lands on her head instead.
Susan gets put in the tarantula on the ropes, then is neckbreakered over the 2nd rope and dropkicked for the win. This was very short and the break was as long as the match.
Tenille brags about her win and says she is the #1 contender. Tenille tells her that she will take her title from her at Rebellion.
Brian Myers does a promo. He said he doesn't want to live in the past but Matt Cardona does. He tells Matt to move on and says he accepts his challenge for Rebellion. He takes off his eye patch and says he sees him clearly and says he will be just another roster cut at Rebellion.
Various Impact wrestlers talk about Swann vs Omega.
Sami Callihan does a promo on Trey Miguel. He said he will make an example out of him and make sure he never walks again at Rebellion.
Shera with Rohit Raju vs Jake Something
Shera club flurries him to start then splashes him. Shera hits a big slam and an elbow for 1. Shera camel clutches Jake on the ropes and Raju takes a free shot at him. Jake comes back with some forearms and a spinning clothesline then he spears him in the corner. Raju gets on the apron as Shera takes a michinoku driver. Jake goes for Raju and takes a sky high for the Shera win in a quick one.
Trey Miguel is at his wrestling school. He said Sami has done everything to get under his skin. His trainer tells him that this is his moment and Trey doesn't get why he has to prove something here. The trainer tells him he worked hard and said to show him the passion he has. Trey said he will tear off Sami's legs and mount them on the wall.
We then see a music video of Trey training.

Eddie Edwards vs Eric Young
Both guys have 3 friends with them. Eddie knocks him down with a shoulder early and headlock takeovers him. Eddie hits his atomic drop and overhead belly to belly combo.
We go to break and return. Eddie is working a headlock and then gets crotched on the top rope. EY lariats his back and Eddie gets his leg stuck in the ropes. The two guys crews stare each other down.
EY goes up top and is crotched and then superplexed off the top. They trade chops with Eddie winning. Eddie tries the backpack stunner but EY gets out, then takes a forearm from the side and a blue thunder bomb for 2. EY comes back with a death valley driver for 2. Eddie then hits him with a double underhook sitout powerbomb for 2.
Eddie topes EY on the outside and VBD and Eddie's crew fight outside. Deaner tries to stop Eddie from getitng in. Doering then tries to stop Eddie and when he does get in, he gets rolled up for the win. I didn't think this was anything too special and the selling was lacking here.
The brawl continues right after to close the show.
Overall thoughts: This was basically a filler episode. Almost all of the matches were short and this was filled with Swann/Omega packages. I have no idea how anyone watches this live with the seemingly endless commercials and clips.
