Steve Maclin has earned a shot at the IMPACT World Championship.
At IMPACT No Surrender, Maclin faced Heath, Brian Myers, and PCO in a four-way match. In the end, PCO nearly had the win, but Eddie Edwards interfered and cost his former Honor No More stablemate the match. Maclin then pinned Heath to clinch the win. As a result, Maclin earned the right to challenge for the IMPACT World Championship at IMPACT Rebellion on April 16.
