Steve Maclin Claims IMPACT World Championship In Dramatic Fashion At Rebellion


Steve Maclin emerged victorious at IMPACT Rebellion, where he was originally set to challenge Josh Alexander for the prestigious IMPACT World Championship. However, Alexander's unfortunate injury resulted in him having to relinquish the title. As a result, Maclin found himself facing off against KUSHIDA in a thrilling match for the vacant championship.





Prior to the match, former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis made a surprising appearance and joined the commentary team, announcing his return to IMPACT. The two competitors then made their dramatic entrances, ready to vie for the coveted title. Throughout the bout, KUSHIDA relentlessly targeted Maclin's arm, trying to gain an advantage.





In the end, Maclin proved his mettle and secured the win with a powerful move known as the KIA. As the bell rang, Maclin wasted no time in calling out IMPACT President Scott D'Amore, demanding that he present him with the championship. However, Maclin's celebration took a controversial turn as he launched a sudden attack on D'Amore, leaving him laid out in the ring.





Aldis then entered the fray, confronting the new champion with intense words exchanged between the two. Maclin eventually left the ring, proudly posing with the championship, as the future of IMPACT's World Championship division became more uncertain than ever.

Steve Maclin is determined to reclaim the prestigious IMPACT World Championship that slipped from his grasp at the recent event, IMPACT Against All Odds. In a highly anticipated showdown, Maclin faced off against the skilled Alex Shelley, only to suffer defeat. Maclin's reign as champion was cut short after a mere 54 days, abruptly ending his arduous two-year journey to ascend to such heights of glory. It was at the monumental Rebellion event that he clinched the championship, triumphing over the formidable KUSHIDA in a battle for the vacant title previously held by Josh Alexander. ## However, on the latest episode of IMPACT, aired on June 15, Maclin passionately voiced his discontent, stating that he should not be required to vie for a rematch. He argued that the contest at Against All Odds ought to have been nullified when his head was forcefully propelled into an exposed turnbuckle, a blatant violation of fair play. Moreover, Maclin expressed his disdain for Scott D'Amore, who seemingly reveled in seeing the championship prize pried away from his own waist. ## Nevertheless, amidst the fervor surrounding this unfolding saga, IMPACT Wrestling has recently unveiled a momentous announcement. Steve Maclin has been granted an opportunity to vie for redemption as he challenges the reigning World Champion, Alex Shelley, once again. The climactic clash is slated to take place on June 30 during IMPACT's eagerly anticipated Down Under Tour.
