TNA Wrestling is officially heading back to Ohio and New York this spring.

The company announced that TNA Rebellion will take place on Saturday, April 11 at the Wolstein Center on the campus of Cleveland State University. The pay-per-view will air live worldwide and marks TNA’s first event in Cleveland since 2013. In its official announcement, TNA made it clear this is a major return for the promotion.

“The stars of TNA Wrestling return to Cleveland, Ohio, for the first time since 2013 with the Rebellion showcase event on Saturday, April 11, airing live around the world on pay-per-view.”

The company added that Rebellion will feature championship matches, grudge fights, and potential surprise appearances inside the Wolstein Center, a venue known for hosting major sporting events and concerts.

After Rebellion, TNA rolls straight into Syracuse, New York for back-to-back nights of television tapings on April 14 and 15 at the Upstate Medical Arena at the Oncenter War Memorial. Those matches will air on future episodes of Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC. TNA emphasized the significance of that return as well.

“These shows mark the first TNA events in the hometown of the Syracuse Orange since 2009.”

The Syracuse events will also feature appearances from WWE NXT Superstars as part of the ongoing cross-promotion between the two companies.

TNA World Champion Mike Santana is advertised for the shows, along with Jeff and Matt Hardy, Frankie Kazarian, Nic Nemeth, Leon Slater, Moose, Eric Young, Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Mustafa Ali, and several top Knockouts including Léi Ying Lee, Tessa Blanchard, Rosemary, and more.

Tickets go on pre-sale Wednesday, February 25 at 10 a.m. ET, with the official on-sale set for Friday, February 27 at 10 a.m. ET.
