The show opens with Josh Alexander making a b-line for the Impact Zone. Alexander is furious over Moose going to his home last week. Alexander said he thought he knew everything Moose is capable of and said Moose crossed a line that you don’t cross with his family.
Alexander said as a wrestler, he’s more motivated than ever, but as a husband, he’s going to issue pain like never before and take the one thing in the world Moose cares about, the world championship. Alexander called out Moose.
Moose says Alexander will fail at Rebellion, and he will show his son Chet what an actual role model looks like. That’s all Alexander needed to hear as he jumped out of the ring and attacked Moose. The brawl goes backstage and up to the old eagle’s nest in the ECW Arena. Many wrestlers break it up before both men fall over the balcony, and Moose retreats.

Mark Calaway, better known as The Undertaker, will headline the 2022 class of the WWE Hall of Fame on April 1 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The ceremony will occur following that night’s go-home edition of SmackDown.
There’s been a lot of talk about how WWE should present this year’s Hall of Fame. Independent film director and screenwriter Guthrie Roy Hartford of the Jobber Knocker Podcast had a great idea. He suggested Undertaker should be the sole inductee this year, with multiple inductors telling stories about “The Deadman.”

What kind of a world is this where Cody Rhodes gets more press than Stone Cold Steve Austin? Amid rumors of Austin’s expected return at WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes’ exit from All Elite Wrestling has dominated the news cycle. It’s a shocking development that could favor WWE just in time for WrestleMania.
