X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali joins Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on commentary for the Rebellion Referendum, which will determine his challenger at the spring pay-per-view extravaganza! There are no disqualifications, no count-outs and the only way to win is by pinfall or submission inside the ring. Knight dives over the top rope, taking out Hotch on the outside. In the ring, Hotch bounces back with a rolling suplex to Knight. Bey hits Hotch with a Spinebuster but Angels catches him off-guard with a DDT. Angels hits Something with an assisted double underhook powerbomb as Knight and Slater help him pick up the big man. Bey spikes Something with a tornado DDT. Slater dives from the ring over the corner turnbuckle, colliding with Hotch, Angels and Bey on the outside. John Skyler provides a distraction from the outside but it doesn’t faze Something. Something sends Hotch Into the Void to win.

Digital Media Champion Crazzy Steve vs. PCO – Digital Media Championship
After gloating about how he handles the pressure of being Digital Media Champion, Steve must now face the wrath of PCO! PCO is distracted by the crowd chanting his name, allowing Steve to blindside him for the early advantage. Steve drives him face-first into the steel ring post. Back in the ring, Steve continues the assault. Steve tries to snap his neck but that only angers PCO. PCO hits a Lungblower in the corner, followed by a leaping leg drop off the second rope. PCO connects with the Deanimator on the hardest part of the ring. PCO is setting up for the PCO-Sault but Kon makes his way to ringside. Kon throws a collection of weapons into the ring. PCO turns his attention towards Kon and attacks him with a trash can. Steve capitalizes off the distraction as he rakes the eyes of PCO. Steve distracts the referee, allowing Kon to slam PCO into multiple steel chairs. Steve rolls up PCO to score the pinfall and retain the Digital Media Title.

We Hear from Nic Nemeth
Nic Nemeth addresses his upcoming TNA World Title match against Moose at Rebellion. Nemeth says that he made his intentions clear when he arrived, his goal is to become TNA World Champion – but he wanted to earn that opportunity. Nemeth reflects on his issues with Steve Maclin, who was unable to drive him out of TNA Wrestling. Nemeth says he was going to wait for the perfect opportunity to challenge for the TNA World Championship, but Moose just couldn’t wait and that’s when The System attacked Nemeth last week. Speaking of The System, TNA World Champion Moose and TNA World Tag Team Champions Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards interrupt. Moose praises Ziggler for defeating some of the greatest of all time – but he’s never been able to beat The System.
