However, Swann wasn’t ready to give up, and with Eric Young demanding his championship rematch, Swann told IMPACT Wrestling to grant it, and a rematch was needed then. During the match, Swann came to life, dodging various big moves and surviving a big powerful bomb late in the match to keep things alive.
