Impact Wrestling is partnering with a minor league baseball team to promote this month’s Rebellion pay-per-view.
It was announced today that Impact Wrestling and the Hudson Valley Renegades are joining forces for multiple promotions surrounding Rebellion. The Hudson Valley Renegades are the High-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.
On Thursday, April 21, Impact’s Jordynne Grace, Rosemary, Gail Kim, and Scott D’Amore will be in attendance for an in-game promotion during the Renegade’s game against the Brooklyn Cyclones.
The next night (Friday, April 22), Impact World Champion Moose and Knockouts Champion Tasha Steelz will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Renegades vs. Cyclones game.
Rebellion is taking place at the MJN Convention Center in Poughkeepsie, New York on Saturday, April 23. Impact will also be holding television tapings at the MJN Convention Center on Sunday, April 24. The Renegades will attend the TV tapings, and team representatives will “throw out the ceremonial first pitch” at the show.
Moose is defending his Impact World Championship against Josh Alexander in the main event of Rebellion. Steelz will put her Knockouts title on the line against Rosemary at the PPV.
