After Honor No More defeated Team Impact at No Surrender,[17][18] Steve Maclin began to target members of the Impact roster who may have doubted his loyalty to the company. After defeating Eddie Edwards by disqualification,[30][31] Maclin picked up wins over Rhino[22][23] and Heath[15][16] before being beaten by Alex Shelley, after help from Shelley's tag team partner Chris Sabin.[32][33] At Multiverse of Matches, Maclin attacked Sabin after the latter had beaten Jay White, but would soon fall victim to a low blow by White.[28] On April 7, Impact announced a three-way match between Maclin, Sabin, and White for Rebellion.[34]
