Moose has brought back the TNA World Heavyweight Title and he is the new champion.
Michael Elgin was set to challenge Tessa Blanchard for the IMPACT World Title in a triple threat match that also featured Eddie Edwards. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Blanchard and Edwards were unable to make it to IMPACT Rebellion. Elgin did show up and he wanted to be crowned the new IMPACT World Champion.
Instead, Moose presented him with a different opportunity.
After running through TNA originals in recent weeks and months, Moose brought back the TNA World Heavyweight Title and was willing to offer Elgin a shot. Hernandez tossed his name into the mix and fans were treated to a new triple threat main event for Rebellion.

Kurt Angle became the first TNA World Heavyweight Champion in 2007 after TNA and NWA split. The TNA World Title was renamed and redesigned as the IMPACT World Title when TNA was rebranded as IMPACT. But now the TNA World Title is back in the mix with Moose as champion while Blanchard remains the IMPACT World Champion.
