At Hard To Kill, Impact Wrestling announced Rebellion would take place in on April 23, 2022, at the Majed J. Nesheiwat Convention Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.

[1] The event featured several professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines.

While Alexander was celebrating with his family, Moose, who earlier won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, ambushed him and invoked his opportunity, immediately capturing the title.

[3][4] In the following months, Alexander wanted revenge on Moose, but was repeatedly denied by Impact Executive Vice President, Scott D'Amore.

[12] Ace Austin and Mike Bailey qualified for the three-way match by defeating Crazzy Steve and John Skyler,[13][14] and Laredo Kid and Willie Mack, respectively.

[15][16] On the February 10, 2022 episode of Impact!, after Josh Alexander was sent home by Scott D'Amore, Team Impact (Chris Sabin, Eddie Edwards, Rich Swann, and Rhino) elected ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham to replace Alexander in their match against Honor No More (Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Kenny King, PCO, and Vincent) at No Surrender.

[21] At Sacrifice, Violent By Design (Eric Young and Joe Doering) defeated The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) to win the Impact World Tag Team Championship.

[9] On the March 17 episode of Impact!, The Good Brothers confronted Scott D'Amore about a rematch, which they received in the form of a lumberjack match for the following week.

[34] Before the event went live on pay-per-view, Kenny King defeated Crazzy Steve which was aired as an Impact Digital Exclusive on April 26.

[36] On April 27, The IInspiration announced that they are indefinitely stepping away from in-ring action in order to pursue other opportunities, thus leaving Impact.
