Title vs. Title matches aren’t common in professional wrestling, let alone interpromotional title vs. title matches. However, at Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion pay per view, we’re seeing an unprecedented match with two promotions putting their top champions against one another. With Kenny Omega and Rich Swann being those two champions, it seems many people have already called it for Omega. Swann knows he’s an underdog, he knows the gravity of the match, and he’s prepared for it.
Swann spoke with Sports Illustrated about the upcoming match, and he knows that Omega has the focus from the fans and critics, but he shouldn’t be counted out himself.
“This is the biggest match of my career. The focus is on Kenny Omega, and that’s understandable. He’s the ‘Best Bout Machine,’ he’s Dave Meltzer’s favorite wrestler, he’s this seven-star wrestler. Kenny has proven why he deserves this attention. But I’m here, too. I’m also a person that has battled adversity. I was told I was going to have to retire due to an injury, that I might not walk the same again. I’m still here. Now I’m in a match that is almost unprecedented. Two world champions from two different companies, repping two different television stations, and we’re about to blow this industry’s roof off.”
It was already said that the winner will fulfill champion duties on both shows, and with the addition of Mauro Ranallo calling the action in the main event, this may be one of wrestling’s biggest matches in some time.
