Next weekend, IMPACT Wrestling is presenting their next pay-per-view titled ‘Rebellion’. Matches on the card include Moose versus Josh Alexander for the IMPACT World Title, Tasha Steelz defending the Knockouts World Title and Jonathan Gresham taking on Honor No More’s Eddie Edwards.

The ‘Honor No More’ group consists of Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Mike Bennett, Kenny King, PCO, Matt Taven and Vincent. Honor No More arrived to IMPACT at the Hard To Kill event in January and during a virtual signing with K & S WrestleFest, Kanellis-Bennett stated that her agreement with IMPACT ends after the upcoming shows in Poughkeepsie, New York which is Rebellion and the post-pay-per-view TV tapings.

I don’t [have a contract with IMPACT Wrestling]. So, I have a pay-per deal with IMPACT and that comes to a close in Poughkeepsie. So after that, we’ll see where we go from there. I mean I’m sure there’s tons of chaos that we can still have over at IMPACT but, I’m not exclusive and you know, with Ring of Honor, we don’t exactly know what it’s going to be. I ran the women’s division last year, I absolutely loved it. It was really like the most rewarding year of my entire career so if I can help in any way, even if it’s just shadowing somebody, I think that’s where I would like to take my career next. So, of course I still love to, you know, manage and add to a division in any way I can but yeah, it’s gonna be interesting. The next few months are really gonna be interesting to see what Ring of Honor becomes.

Kanellis-Bennett alongside ring announcer Bobby Cruise were behind the reboot of Ring of Honor’s women’s division prior to the company being acquired by AEW’s Tony Khan. Following Supercard of Honor, Khan told members of the media that he would be interested in talking with Maria.
