Rich Swann Talks Facing Kenny Omega At Rebellion

At Impact’s Rebellion PPV on April 25th, Rich Swann will face Kenny Omega. As Swann said in a recent interview, it is the biggest match of his career. Swann is committed to not letting the opportunity slip.

“This is the biggest match of my career,” Swann said recently to SI.com. “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.”

“I’m going to make this different than any match we’ve ever had in our careers. This is an opportunity I won’t let slip. It’s going to be the match of my life.”

In addition to Swann vs Omega, several other big matches have been booked for the show. The updated lineup is below:

• AEW World Championship vs Impact World Championship
  Kenny Omega (c) vs Rich Swann
• Impact Tag Team Championships
  FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson) (c) vs. The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson)
• Knockouts Championship
  Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs Tenille Dashwood
• X-Division Championship
  Ace Austin (w/Madman Fulton) (c) vs. TJP vs. Josh Alexander
• Knockouts Tag Team Championships
  Fire N Flava (c) vs Jordynne Grace & TBA
• Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona

Could easily be a 5* Match. Uncle Meltzer better pay attention.
