Steve Maclin Retains TNA International Championship At Rebellion

TNA International Championship

Steve Maclin (c) vs. Eric Young

It’s time for another title tilt, but first, Gia Miller is backstage trying to get a word with TNA International Champion Steve Maclin. She asks if he’s ready for this fight with his friend, Eric Young. He doesn’t respond or even react facially. After a long pause, he smirks and walks off.

Back inside the Galen Center, the lights go down and the theme for Eric Young hits. Out comes “The World Class Maniac” accompanied by The Northern Armory duo of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams.

Reigning and defending TNA International Champion “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin is out next with his “Dead Presidents” movie-style entrance mask on. He takes it off, lays his title in front of him and looks ready for battle.

The commentators talk about Young sliding Maclin the mask as his final offer to join The Northern Armory last week. Judas and Williams run up but Maclin lays them out and continues to the ring. He and Young lock eyes, the bell sounds, and they begin to battle.

Young takes the initial offensive lead, but it doesn’t last long, as Maclin fights back and hits a diving Air-Raid style high spot from the ring to the floor on Young and The Northern Armory duo. Back in the ring, Icarus tries getting involved to protect Young.

This leads to Maclin heading out to deal with him, only to be attacked by Williams. They send him back into Young, who goes for the cover, but only gets two. They continue to get involved, leading to the referee ejecting them from ringside.

Maclin fires up and has Young hanging upside down in the tree of woe in the corner. He goes for the spear, but Young does a sit-up and Maclin goes sailing through the ropes, where he crashes and burns hard on the floor.

The top of his head is cut badly. The referee puts on some gloves to check him. The doctor also checks on him. After the action resumes in the ring, literally out of nowhere, Maclin rolls Young up and hooks a leg for the win.

As soon as the match ends, Maclin is attacked by The Northern Armory, who come back out and help Young hang Maclin over the ropes with a giant steel chain. That’s how the post-match scene wraps up.

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated Eric Young to retain TNA International Championship
