Impact Wrestling has announced a Last Rites match between Eddie Edwards and PCO for Rebellion on April 16. The event happens at the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto. The ‘Last Rites’ match is a rare match type in Impact, in which a casket is lowered to the center of the ring. From there, it works like a casket match, but the loser will be raised up to the ceiling after it’s over. That was only the first one, as it became more like a casket match later on.
Only two Last Rites matches have happened in company history, as Sting defeated Abyss in the first one at Destination X 2007. The match infamously resulted in a ‘Fire Russo’ chant, as it was Vince Russo who was booking then and created it. The second happened in 2018, when Su Yung defeated Allie.
